Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk Zakharia 14:16

"But I have installed My king" (va'ani nasakhti malki): [This relationship is like how Israel is God's portion, e.g.,] "Ad-nai is his inheritance" (Deuteronomy 10:9) and [conversely] "They are Your people and Your inheritance" (Deuteronomy 9:29). [The king is God's designated representative]. And similar to it [the concept of a designated king related to God] is [the phrase in (Zechariah 14:16-17)] "to bow down to the King, Ad-nai of hosts" (le-hishtachavot le-melekh Ad-nai tzeva'ot). [This title "King, Ad-nai of hosts" in Zechariah] refers to the Messiah. This is in the manner of (Psalm 72:11) "And all kings shall bow down to him" (ve-yishtachavu lo kol melakhim). For if [the phrase le-melekh ("to the King") in (Zechariah 14:16)] were referring [directly] to HaShem, the Lamed [prefix] would have a patach vowel [i.e., it would likely be לַמֶּלֶךְ - la-melekh].

And their seed shall be known. This prediction does not imply that Israel will again be scattered among the nations, but that they will be known among the nations, who will come up to the holy land to celebrate the feast of Tabernacles (comp. Zec. 14:16), and among them that will bring the tribute.

חדש בחדשו a new moon on the day appointed for it. Comp. דבר יום ביומו the task of every day on the day appointed for it (Ex. 5:13). From this verse the ancients derived that the wicked had to suffer the future punishment for twelve months;^42aSee Midrash Yalkut ad locum. they explain the word מדי to signify one year.⁴³This seems to be I. E.’s interpretation of the passage quoted from the Midrash; but this explanation of מרי is not found there. The meaning of מדי שבת בשבתו I have explained in my commentary on the chapter concerning the seven weeks.^43aLev. 23:9-22, or ib. 25:1-13. The words מדי שבת בשבתו are explained in neither of the two passages. I. E. is perhaps of opinion that the expression שבת, used here by the prophet, includes also the festivals, and he refers therefore to his remark on Lev. 23:11, in which he proves that the word שבת in the phrase ממחרת השבת refers to the first day of Passover.
