3:9 The single stone signifies authority. It might refer to the final stone of the Temple laid by Zerubbabel (4:7), the “foundation stone” of the restored Jerusalem (Isa 28:16), or the precious stones on the ephod of the high priests (Exod 25:7; 35:9).
• The seven facets (literally seven eyes) of the stone imply perfection and completeness of knowledge and wisdom. They might relate to the seven lamps of the golden lampstand (Zech 4:2) or to God’s “sevenfold Spirit” (Rev 1:4).
• The inscription is reminiscent of the names of the tribes inscribed on the stones of the high priest’s shoulder-pieces (Exod 39:6).
• The removal of Israel’s sin in a single day alludes to the Day of Atonement (Lev 16). It foreshadows Christ’s crucifixion, when the Lamb of God would take away the sin of the world (John 1:29).
