Zechariah 2:12

“And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, etc.] The Lord’s people is his portion, and the lot of his inheritance; whom he has chosen, and calls as such, whether they be Jews or Gentiles; but here it seems to mean the believing Jews; who, it is very likely, upon their conversion, will be returned to their own land, here called “the holy land”; because formerly here the Lord’s holy people dwelt, his holy sanctuary was, and his holy worship and ordinances were attended on; and where now he will possess and enjoy his people, and favour them with communion with himself: and shall choose Jerusalem again; after long trodden down of the Gentiles; as it formerly was a place of…”

“Judah his portion in the holy land--Lest the joining of the Gentile "nations to Jehovah" (Zac 2:11) should lead the Jews to fear that their peculiar relation to Him (Deu 4:20; Deu 9:29; Deu 32:9) as "His inheritance" should cease, this verse is added to assure them of His making them so hereafter "again." choose Jerusalem again--The course of God's grace was interrupted for a time, but His covenant was not set aside (Rom 11:28-29); the election was once for all, and therefore shall hold good for ever.”

“And the Lord shall inherit Judah His portion - The inheritance of the Lord is the title which God commonly gave to Israel (Deuteronomy 4:20; Deuteronomy 9:26, Deuteronomy 9:29; 1 Samuel 26:19; 2Sa 14:16; 2 Samuel 20:19; 2 Samuel 21:3; 1 Kings 8:51; Psalms 28:9; Psalms 33:12; Psalms 68:10; Psalms 78:62, Psalms 78:71; Psalms 119:1; Psalms 106:40, Joel 2:17; Joel 3:2, (Hebrew) Isaiah 19:25; Isaiah 47:6; Jeremiah 12:7-9; Jeremiah 50:11). God is said to be the portion of Israel Jeremiah 10:16; Jeremiah 51:19; of the pious Psalms 16:5; Psalms 73:26; Psalms 119:57; Psalms 142:6; Lamentations 3:24; once only beside, is Israel said to be the portion of God Deuteronomy 32:9; once only is God said to…”

“Shall inherit - Claim, recover, possess, and delight in, as a man doth in his paternal inheritance. Zechariah 2:13”

“2:12 Israel is the Lord’s inheritance or special possession—the people of Israel belonged to the Lord (Deut 32:9-10). • The land was holy because of God’s glorious presence in the Jerusalem Temple (see Pss 11:4; 15:1).”

“inherit: Exo 19:5, Exo 19:6; Deu 32:9; Psa 82:8, Psa 135:4; Jer 10:16, Jer 51:19 and shall: Zac 1:17; Isa 41:9 Zechariah 2:13”

“"And Jehovah will take possession of Judah as His portion in the holy land, and will yet choose Jerusalem. Zac 2:13. Be still, all flesh, before Jehovah; for He has risen up out of His holy habitation." The first hemistich of Zac 2:12 rests upon Deu 32:9, where Israel, as the chosen nation, is called the chēleq and nachălâh of Jehovah. This appointment of Israel to be the possession of Jehovah will become perfect truth and reality in the future, through the coming of the Lord. Yehūdâh is Judah as delivered, i.e., the remnant of the whole of the covenant nation. This remnant, after being gathered out of Babel, will dwell upon holy ground, or in a holy land, as the possession of the Lord.…”
