TSNTyndale Study Notes:

8:1-23 This section of Zechariah’s sermons is connected to the previous one by the topics of fasting (questions posed in 7:2-7 are answered in 8:18-19) and the ethical demands of covenant relationship with the Lord (7:8-10; 8:16-17). The tone and message shift from admonition and judgment to exhortation and restoration. Fasting would change to feasting (8:19).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) be in the streets of Jerusalem

(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said YHWH armies/angels again sit old_men and,old in/on/at/with,streets Yərūshālayim/(Jerusalem) and,each staff,his in=his/its=hand because_of,great days )

Alternate translation: “be living in Jerusalem”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) in his hand because he has grown so old

(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said YHWH armies/angels again sit old_men and,old in/on/at/with,streets Yərūshālayim/(Jerusalem) and,each staff,his in=his/its=hand because_of,great days )

People having the opportunity to grow old implies the city will be peaceful and prosperous for a long time.
