2:5 Note: KJB: Zech.2.1
OET (OET-RV) Yahweh declares that he’ll become a wall of fire around it and will become the splendour in the middle of it.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
(Occurrence 0) I … will become for her a wall of fire around her
(Some words not found in UHB: and,lifted_up eyes_of,my and,saw and=see/lo/see! (a)_man and,in/on/at/with,hand_of,his line_of measuring )
People built walls around their cities for protection. Here Yahweh speaks of protecting Jerusalem as if he himself were a wall of fire around the city. Alternate translation: “I … will protect the city, like a wall of fire around it”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
(Occurrence 0) this is Yahweh’s declaration
(Some words not found in UHB: and,lifted_up eyes_of,my and,saw and=see/lo/see! (a)_man and,in/on/at/with,hand_of,his line_of measuring )
Yahweh speaks of himself by name to express the certainty of what he is declaring. See how you translated this in [Zechariah 1:4](../01/04.md). Alternate translation: “this is what Yahweh has declared” or “this is what I, Yahweh, have declared”
2:5 The wall of fire represents divine protection (cp. 2 Kgs 6:17).
• I, myself, will be: The emphatic construction of the verb “to be” might be a direct reference to God’s name (Exod 3:14-15).
• Fire and glory allude to the Exodus (see Exod 13:22; 14:20; 40:34).

2:5 Note: KJB: Zech.2.1
OET (OET-RV) Yahweh declares that he’ll become a wall of fire around it and will become the splendour in the middle of it.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
