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.

Zechariah 13
13
1In that day there is a fountain opened To the house of David And to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, For sin and for impurity.
2And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, I cut off the names of the idols from the land, And they are not remembered any more, And also the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness I cause to pass away from the land.
3And it hath been, when one prophesieth again, That said unto him have his father and his mother, his parents, ‘Thou dost not live, For falsehood thou hast spoken in the name of Jehovah,’ And pierced him through have his father and his mother, his parents, in his prophesying.
4And it hath come to pass, in that day, Ashamed are the prophets, each of his vision, in his prophesying, And they put not on a hairy robe to deceive.
5And [one] hath said, ‘I am not a prophet, A man, a tiller of ground I am, For ground [is] my possession from my youth.’
6And [one] hath said unto him, ‘What [are] these wounds in thy hands?’ And he hath said, ‘Because I was smitten [at] home by my lovers.’
7Sword, awake against My shepherd, And against a hero — My fellow, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts. Smite the shepherd, and scattered is the flock, And I have put back My hand on the little ones.
8And it hath come to pass, In all the land, an affirmation of Jehovah, Two parts in it are cut off — they expire, And the third is left in it.
9And I have brought the third into fire, And refined them like a refining of silver, And have tried them like a trying of gold, It doth call in My name, and I answer it, I have said, ‘My people it [is],’ And it saith, ‘Jehovah [is] my God!’
