Keith: But we start out a little confusing. Nehemia: That’s both in Hebrew and in English. Again, in English, it’s Zechariah 2:10, in the Hebrew Bible it’s Zechariah 2:14. I want to say this is going to be a tough one to record. The whole idea of this was coming together on common ground, and we realized we’ve got to literally come together on common ground. It didn’t work and we decided we’ve got to come together. Nehemia: Well, we came here because we were trying to record this long distance. We’re doing whatever it takes, face-to-face, and I will tell you this, you’re listening to this sometime in June, but we’re actually recording it on a day that has been amazing, the last 24 hours… Nehemia, what are we doing in the Land of Israel? What’s going on? This is Keith Johnson along with Nehemia Gordon in the land of the prophets. Thank you for supporting Nehemia Gordon's Makor Hebrew Foundation. You are listening to Prophet Pearls with Nehemia Gordon and Keith Johnson. Prophet Pearls #36 - Beha'alotecha (Zechariah 2:10-4:7) and two olive trees by it." (Zechariah 4:2-3) In closing, Gordon explains the fascinating history of the picture of the week and offers the 15 th benediction of the Amidah-praying that Yehovah will speedily send his Tzemach -the branch of his salvation.

Other word studies include: “dwell”-which shares the root of “shekinah,” “levite/join,” “satan/adversary”-with its noun and verb usages, and lastly-“tzemach/branch”-the promised servant. Gordon explains the different forms in which the name Joshua appears. Gordon and Johnson bring their best scholarship along with their best guesses to decipher Joshua’s emotive vision of the angel of the Lord, a satan, a stone with seven eyes, a gold lamp-stand, two olive trees and a brand plucked from fire. In this episode of Prophet Pearls, Nehemia Gordon and Keith Johnson discuss the Prophets portion of Beha'alotecha covering Zechariah 2:10-4:7.
