John Trapp on Zechariah 8:23

Verſe 23. Ten men ſhall take hold out of all languages] Ten, that is many, out of all languages, therefore not by compact, or fraudulent convention: for they were farre aſunder, and of diverſe languages, (nam quiſque alijs eſt barbarus, ſaith Calvine.)

of the nations] for God manifeſted in the fleſh, was preached unto the Gentiles, beleeved on in the world, &c. 1 Tim. 3.16.

ſhall take hold, even take hold] as children do on their mothers garments.

of him that is a Jew] who ſhall not ſhake them off, as baſtard Gentiles, worthy (even the very beſt of them) to have their heads bruiſed with the ſerpent, as the moderne Jewes ſay of us. Come unto me, ſaith Chriſt: Therefore my brethren, dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, ſo ſtand faſt in the Lord, Phil. 4.1. my dearly beloved, ſaith Paul.

we will go with you] Be of your religion: not for fear, or any other by-reſpect, as thoſe Perſians, Eſth. 8.17. (Joſephus relates of the Jewes, that they were very carefull how they received Proſelytes in Solomons time (becauſe then their ſtate flouriſhed) but out of ſound conviction, and good affection.

for we have heard] And by hearing, taſted.1 Pet. 2.3.

that God is with you] Of a truth, as that plain Corinthian confeſſeth, 1 Cor. 14.[illegible: 1 letter]5.
