Zec 6:10
  Interlinear
Take from the exiles, from Cheldaj, from Tobia (Hebr. Tovijaho) and from Jedaja who have come from Babylon, and go on the same day [it was urgent], go to the house of Josiah (Hebr. Joshijahos), son of Zephaniah.
[Cheldai's priestly family served in the temple during the twelfth month, see 1 Chron. 27:15, his name means "robust." In verse 14, there is the similar name Chelem, which means "dream." Tobia (Hebr. Tovijaho) means "God's goodness," see Ezra 2:60; Neh. 7:62. Jedaja's family served in the temple during the second month, see 1 Chron. 9:10; 24:7. His name means "God knows." The Greek translation Septuagint explains the meaning of the names and emphasizes the symbolic meaning of their names: stability, God's goodness, and God knows.]
Zec 6:14
  Interlinear
The crowns shall be for Chelem [probably referring to Cheldaj in verse 6] and for Tobia (Hebr. Tovijaho) and for Jedaja and for Chen, son of Sefanja, [and kept] as a memorial in the temple of the Lord (Yahweh).
