[edit] Article title

I have renamed this article as Zechariah (Hebrew prophet) (originally Zechariah). The shorter alternative Zechariah (prophet) could be ambiguous, as a later individual, Zechariah (priest), is considered a prophet in Islam. Fayenatic london 19:09, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] His death

How did Zechariah die? <-- This question was posted by 67.125.184.210 in July 2004.

I have added a sentence on this quoting the source. Fayenatic london 19:09, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Italics, when referring to the Book of Zechariah

Use italics in places where Zechariah is used to refer to the biblical book, otherwise use (ironically) roman text; this helps to distinguish between the two.

I.E. Zechariah was written by Zechariah. — Dizzley (Peter H) 22:06, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Chapter 2?

I'm getting confused! Chapter 2 of Zechariah has the prophet in the first person narrative (verses 1-7a), but then the narrative switches from the "me" to the "him". I don't know if both of them refer to Zechariah or not, but the next verse (8) has the angel saying, "Tell this to that young man", which, according to the footnote in the NAB, is either an angel or a man with a measuring cord of verse 5! Can someone give me a clear interpretation? --Angeldeb82 16:58, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External Links

I'm removing this entire section for the following reasons:

  • Wikisource - empty
  • James Palmer's Doctoral Dissertation on the Septuagint of Zechariah - just an abtract and table of contents, adds nothing.
