Zecharyah 14
14
1Hinei, a day cometh for Hashem, when the plunder taken from thee shall among thee be divided.
2For I will gather kol HaGoyim against Yerushalayim for milchamah (battle, war); and HaIr (the city, Yerushalayim) shall be taken, and the batim (houses) plundered, and the women ravished; and half of HaIr shall go forth into the Golus (exile), and the rest of the people shall not be cut off from HaIr.
3Then shall Hashem go forth, and fight against those Goyim, as He fights in the Yom Krav (day of battle).
4And in Yom HaHu, His raglayim (feet)#14:4 See Ac 1:11-12 shall stand upon the Mount of Olives, which is east of Yerushalayim, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by a gey gedolah me'od (a very great valley), with half of the mountain moving to the north, and half of it to the south.
5And ye shall flee to the gey (valley) in the mountains; for the gey (valley) of the harim (mountains) shall extend unto Atzel; yea, ye shall flee, just as ye fled from before the ra'ash (earthquake) in the days of Uziyah Melech Yehudah; and Hashem Elohai shall come, and kol Kedoshim (all the holy ones) with Thee.#14:5 See Dan 7:13-14
6And it shall come to pass in Yom HaHu, that there shall no longer be cold or frost:
7But it shall be Yom Echad, known to Hashem, with no Yom, nor Lailah; but it shall come to pass, that at erev it shall be ohr.
8And it shall be in Yom HaHu, that mayim chayyim (living waters) shall go out from Yerushalayim; half toward the eastern sea,#14:8 i.e., Dead Sea and half toward the western sea;#14:8 i.e., Mediterranean Sea in kayitz (summer) and in khoref (winter) shall it be.
9And Hashem shall be Melech Al Kol HaAretz (King over all the earth); in Yom HaHu (in that day) shall Hashem be echad, and Shmo Echad.
10And kol ha'aretz shall be made like the Aravah from Geva to Rimmon in the Negev. Yerushalayim shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Sha'ar Binyamin unto the place of the Sha'ar Harishon (the first gate), unto the Corner Gate; and from the Migdal Chanan'el unto the kingʼs wine presses.
11And men shall inhabit her, and there shall be no more cherem (utter destruction, holy war); but Yerushalayim shall be inhabited labetach (in confidence, security).
12And this shall be the magefah (plague)#14:12 produced by Hashem wherewith Hashem will strike kol ha'amim (all the peoples) that have fought against Yerushalayim; their basar shall rot while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall rot in their sockets, and their tongue shall rot in their mouth.
13And in Yom HaHu it shall come to pass, that there shall be among them a mehumat Hashem (a panic from Hashem), and they shall seize every one the hand of his neighbor, and the hand of each shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.
14And Yehudah also shall fight at Yerushalayim; and the wealth of kol HaGoyim round about shall be gathered together, zahav, and kesef, and apparel, in great abundance.
15And so shall be the magefat hasus (plague on the horse), on the mule, on the camel, and on the donkey, and on all the beasts that shall be in those camps, like this magefah (plague).
16And it shall come to pass, that all who are left of kol HaGoyim which came against Yerushalayim shall even go up from year to year to worship HaMelech, Hashem Tzva'os, and to keep Chag HaSukkot.
17And it shall be, that whosoever will not make this aliyah from the mishpekhot ha'aretz unto Yerushalayim to worship HaMelech, Hashem Tzva'os, even upon them shall be no geshem (rain).
18And if the mishpakhat Mitzrayim go not up, and come not, upon them shall fall the magefah (plague) wherewith Hashem will strike the Goyim that come not up to keep Chag HaSukkot.
19This shall be the punishment of Mitzrayim, and the punishment of kol HaGoyim that come not up to keep Chag HaSukkot.
20In Yom HaHu shall there be upon the metzillot (bells) of the susim, KODESH L'HASHEM; and the sirot (cooking pots) in the Beis Hashem shall be like the mizrakim (libation bowls) before the mizbe'ach.
21Yea, every siyr (pot) in Yerushalayim and in Yehudah shall be KODESH L'HASHEM TZVA'OS: and all the zovechim (the ones sacrificing) shall come and take of them, and they shall cook in them; and in Yom HaHu there shall be no more Kena'ani (Canaanite, merchant)#14:21 See Mt 21:12-13; Mk 11:15-18 in the Beis Hashem Tzva'os.

The Coming Day of the Lord
1Behold, #See Joel 1:15a day is coming for the Lord, when the spoil taken from you will be divided in your midst. 2For #Joel 3:2 I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and #[Luke 21:24] the city shall be taken #Isa. 13:16 and the houses plundered #Lam. 5:11 and the women raped. #ch. 13:8; [Matt. 24:40, 41]Half of the city shall go out into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3#[ch. 12:9]Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle. 4#[ver. 1]; See ch. 12:3 On that day his feet shall stand #[Ezek. 11:23] on #2 Sam. 15:30 the Mount of Olives that lies before Jerusalem on the east, and #2 Sam. 15:30 the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by #[ver. 10]a very wide valley, so that one half of the Mount shall move northward, and the other half southward. 5And you shall flee to the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from #Amos 1:1the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.#14:5 Other Hebrew manuscripts you
6 # [See ver. 4 above] On that day #[Isa. 60:19; Rev. 21:23]there shall be #[Isa. 60:19; Rev. 21:23]no light, cold, or frost.#14:6 Compare Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate, Targum; the meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain 7#Rev. 21:25 And there shall be a unique#14:7 Hebrew one day, #Matt. 24:36 which is known to the Lord, neither day nor night, but #[Isa. 30:26]at evening time there shall be light.
8 # [See ver. 4 above] On that day #John 4:10; Rev. 22:1; [Isa. 33:21; Ezek. 47:1; Joel 3:18] living waters shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to #Joel 2:20 the eastern sea#14:8 That is, the Dead Sea and half of them to #Joel 2:20 the western sea.#14:8 That is, the Mediterranean Sea #[Isa. 33:16]It shall continue in summer as in winter.
9And #Ps. 47:7; [ver. 16, 17; Mal. 1:14] the Lord will be king over all the earth. #[ver. 1]; See ch. 12:3 On that day the Lord will be #Eph. 4:5, 6 one and #[ch. 13:2]his name one.
10 # [ver. 4; Isa. 40:4] The whole land shall be turned into a plain from #Josh. 18:24 Geba to #Josh. 15:32 Rimmon south of Jerusalem. But #Isa. 2:2 Jerusalem shall remain aloft #ch. 12:6; [ch. 2:4] on its site from #See Jer. 37:13 the Gate of Benjamin to the place of the former gate, to #Jer. 31:38 the Corner Gate, and from #Neh. 3:1; Jer. 31:38the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses. 11And it shall be inhabited, for #Rev. 22:3 there shall never again be a decree of utter destruction.#14:11 The Hebrew term rendered decree of utter destruction refers to things devoted (or set apart) to the Lord (or by the Lord) for destruction #[Jer. 23:6]Jerusalem shall dwell in security.
12And this shall be #[ver. 15, 18]the plague with which the Lord will strike all the peoples that wage war against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
13And #See ch. 12:3 on that day a great panic from the Lord shall fall on them, so that #Hag. 2:22; [1 Sam. 14:20]each will seize the hand of another, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of the other. 14Even #[ch. 12:2] Judah will fight at Jerusalem.#14:14 Or against Jerusalem And #[Ezek. 39:10]the wealth of all the surrounding nations shall be collected, gold, silver, and garments in great abundance. 15And #[ver. 12]a plague like this plague shall fall on the horses, the mules, the camels, the donkeys, and whatever beasts may be in those camps.
16Then everyone who survives of all the nations that have come against Jerusalem #See ch. 8:21 shall go up year after year to worship #[ver. 9] the King, the Lord of hosts, and #[Nah. 1:15]; See Lev. 23:34 to keep #See Lev. 23:39-43the Feast of Booths. 17And if #Isa. 60:12 any of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship #[See ver. 16 above] the King, the Lord of hosts, #See 1 Kgs. 17:1there will be no rain on them. 18And if the family of Egypt does not go up and present themselves, then on them there shall be no rain;#14:18 Hebrew lacks rain there shall be #[See ver. 15 above] the plague with which the Lord afflicts the nations that do not go up #[See ver. 16 above]to keep the Feast of Booths. 19This shall be the punishment to Egypt and the punishment to all the nations that do not go up #[See ver. 16 above]to keep the Feast of Booths.
20And #See ch. 12:3 on that day there shall be inscribed on the bells of the horses, #Ex. 28:36; Isa. 23:18; Mic. 4:13“Holy to the Lord.” And the pots in the house of the Lord shall be as the bowls before the altar. 21And every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be #[See ver. 20 above] holy to the Lord of hosts, so that all who sacrifice may come and take of them and boil the meat of the sacrifice in them. And #Ezek. 44:9; See Joel 3:17 there shall no longer be #[Deut. 7:1, 2] a trader#14:21 Or Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts #[See ver. 20 above]on that day.
