Matthew Poole and continuators on Zechariah 2:4

4 And said unto him, Run , speak unto this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls, for the multitude of men and cattel therein.

Or, And he said. Or as the French, (lequel lui dit) which said unto him, so 'tis plain, that the Angel which now was going [illegible: 1 letter]orth, spake to that Angel which came to meet him, or gave him orders what to do.

Filled with inhabitants.

The Suburbs of it shall be as Towns unwalled for greatness of extent, and for safety, and freedom, from enemies and danger; Their own multitudes of men shall be some safeguard to them. And they shall have my presence, a better safeguard.

Brought thither for sacred uses, for sacrifices.
