Zecharyah 13
13
1In Yom HaHu there shall be a makor (fountain)#13:1 See Ps 36:9 [10] opened to the Bais Dovid and to the inhabitants of Yerushalayim for sin and for niddah (impurity).#13:1 i.e., used figuratively but refers especially to untouchability of women during menstruation and other kinds of uncleanness
2And in Yom HaHu it shall come to pass, saith Hashem Tzva'os, that I will cut off the shmot (names) of the atzabim (idols) out of ha'aretz, and they shall no more be remembered; and also I will cause the nevi'im and the ruach hatum'ah (unclean spirit) to pass from ha'aretz.
3And it shall come to pass, that if any shall still prophesy, then his av and his em that bore him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest sheker b'Shem Hashem; and his av and his em that bore him shall thrust him through#13:3 dakar, 12:10 when he prophesieth.
4And in Yom HaHu it shall come to pass, that the nevi'im shall be ashamed, every one of his chizzayon (vision, revelation), when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear an adderet se'ar (garment of hair, hairy mantle) to deceive;
5But he shall say, I am no navi, I am an ish oved adamah (a man who works the soil); for land I owned from my youth.
6And if one shall say unto him, What are these makkot (strokes, marks of strokes, scars, wounds) between thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the bais of my friends.
7Awake, O Cherev (sword), against My Ro'eh,#13:7 shepherd, i.e. Moshiach, see Isa 40:11; Ezek 34:23,24; 37:24 against the Gever (man) that is My Amit (fellow, intimate companion, associate), saith Hashem Tzva'os; strike the Ro'eh (shepherd), and the Tzon (sheep, flock) shall be scattered; and I will turn Mine hand upon the tzo'arim (little ones);#13:7 See Zech 11:7; Mt 26:31,56
8And it shall come to pass, that in kol ha'aretz, saith Hashem, two-thirds therein shall be cut off and die; but one-third shall remain therein.
9And I will bring the one-third through the eish, and will refine them as kesef is refined, and will test them as zahav is tested; they shall call biShmi (on My Name), and I will hear them; I will say, This is My people; and they shall say, Hashem is Elohai.

Cleansing From Sin
1“On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity.
2“On that day, I will banish the names of the idols from the land, and they will be remembered no more,” declares the Lord Almighty. “I will remove both the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land. 3And if anyone still prophesies, their father and mother, to whom they were born, will say to them, ‘You must die, because you have told lies in the Lord’s name.’ Then their own parents will stab the one who prophesies.
4“On that day every prophet will be ashamed of their prophetic vision. They will not put on a prophet’s garment of hair in order to deceive. 5Each will say, ‘I am not a prophet. I am a farmer; the land has been my livelihood since my youth.#13:5 Or farmer; a man sold me in my youth’ 6If someone asks, ‘What are these wounds on your body#13:6 Or wounds between your hands?’ they will answer, ‘The wounds I was given at the house of my friends.’
The Shepherd Struck, the Sheep Scattered
7“Awake, sword, against my shepherd,
against the man who is close to me!”
declares the Lord Almighty.
“Strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered,
and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8In the whole land,” declares the Lord,
“two-thirds will be struck down and perish;
yet one-third will be left in it.
9This third I will put into the fire;
I will refine them like silver
and test them like gold.
They will call on my name
and I will answer them;
I will say, ‘They are my people,’
and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’ ”
