The temple, being the center of Jewish worship and the dwelling place of God's presence, underscores the crown's spiritual significance. The crown's presence in the temple serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and the anticipated coming of the Messiah, who would fulfill the roles of both priest and king. This dual role is a type of Jesus Christ, who is both our High Priest and King of Kings, as seen in <a href="/hebrews/7-17.htm">Hebrews 7:17</a> and <a href="/revelation/19-16.htm">Revelation 19:16</a>.<p><b>as a memorial</b><br>The term "memorial" suggests that the crown is not merely an ornamental object but serves as a lasting reminder of a significant event or promise. In biblical times, memorials were often established to commemorate God's faithfulness and covenant with His people, as seen in <a href="/joshua/4-7.htm">Joshua 4:7</a> with the stones from the Jordan River. This memorial points to the future fulfillment of God's promises through the Messiah, reminding the people of the hope and redemption to come.<p><b>to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah,</b><br>These names refer to individuals who were likely leaders or representatives of the Jewish community during the time of Zechariah. Their inclusion in this memorial indicates their role in the prophetic act of crowning Joshua the high priest, symbolizing the future crowning of the Messiah. The mention of these individuals highlights the importance of faithful leadership and cooperation in God's redemptive plan. It also serves as a reminder of the community's involvement in God's work, as seen in the rebuilding efforts of <a href="/nehemiah/3.htm">Nehemiah 3</a>.<p><b>and the gracious son of Zephaniah.</b><br>This phrase likely refers to Josiah, the son of Zephaniah, who is noted for his graciousness or favor. The inclusion of this individual emphasizes the theme of grace and favor in God's dealings with His people. It also points to the gracious nature of the coming Messiah, who embodies God's grace and truth, as described in <a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>. The mention of Zephaniah connects this prophecy to the broader prophetic tradition, as Zephaniah was a prophet who spoke of both judgment and restoration, themes that are central to the message of Zechariah.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/helem,_tobijah,_jedaiah,_and_hen_son_of_zephaniah.htm">Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Hen son of Zephaniah</a></b><br>These individuals are mentioned as recipients of the crown, which serves as a memorial.

That such "gifts" were dedicated in the temple is well known (see Judith 16:19; 2 Macc. 5:16 2Macc. 9:16; Josephus, 'Bell. Jud.,' 2:17. 3; 'Ant.,' 17:06. 3; 19:6. 1; Philo, 'Legat. ad Cal.,' § 40, 2 p. 592). <span class="cmt_word">Helem</span> is the same as <span class="accented">Heldai</span> (ver. 10), whether he bore both names, or whether, as is probable, this is a mere mistake of a copyist. <span class="cmt_word">To Hen.</span> The Authorized Version considers this as a proper name. In this case it would be another name for Josiah. But it is really an appellative, and the rendering should be, "for the kindness of the son of Zephaniah." The crown would be also a memorial of his kindness in receiving and entertaining these exiles (comp. <a href="/matthew/10-41.htm">Matthew 10:41</a>).
