228 Structure and the Book ofZechariah<br />

Criticisms made previously apply also to this treatment of ch. 14.<br />

For instance, the correspondences are formal, based mainly on introductory<br />

formulae; some sections have little content in common (e.g. c<br />

and c 1 in Lamarche's plan); some points of contact are ignored (e.g.<br />

king is found in v. 5 [Uzziah] as well as in v. 9; the only other<br />

apparently significant word the sections have in common is 333); the<br />

sections ded' encompass some very uncertain text; e cannot be said to<br />

be a very satisfying or convincing climax: Yahweh's becoming king is<br />

more likely to be at the centre, particularly in view of 14.16-17 which<br />

is part of the climax of chs. 9-14, with contacts in 9.1-8 and 9.9-10<br />

especially; formally c looks similar to a 1 ; a and a 1 are not similar with<br />

regard to introductory formulae or detail.<br />

Before offering my own explanation of the structure of vv. 1-15, I<br />

shall deal with vv. 16-19. Lamarche's analysis of this section seems to<br />

be more successful, and he summarizes v. 16-19 correctly (Lacocque<br />

apparently does not see a particular structure here). He does not,<br />

however, deal with all the duplicate words and phrases that abound in<br />

this section. It may be set out as follows:<br />

16a And it will be<br />

all that remains of all the nations<br />

that came against (b«) Jerusalem<br />

16b they will go up year by year<br />

to worship the King Yahweh Sebaoth<br />

and to keep the feast arms yr of booths<br />

17 And it will be<br />

whoever will not go up<br />

from all the families of the earth to Jerusalem<br />

to worship the King Yahweh Sebaoth<br />

there will be no rain on them<br />

18 and if a family of Egypt will not go up and not come<br />

and not upon them<br />

there will be the plague (with) which Yahweh<br />

will plague the nations<br />

who will not go up to keep the feast of booths<br />

19 this will be the nKon of Egypt<br />

and the nKon of all the nations<br />

who will not go up to keep the feast of booths<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are almost too many inter-relationships and repetitions here.<br />

We can say with certainty that:
