Zechariah 12:1 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. The burden of the word of the Lord - This is a new prophecy. It is directed both to Israel and Judah, though Israel alone is mentioned in this verse.

Which stretcheth forth the heavens - See on Isaiah 42:5 (note).

Formeth the spirit of man within him - Then it is not the same substance with his body. It is a Spirit within Him.
