Study Note
The divine promise 'I will strengthen them in the Lord; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the Lord' concludes the shepherd-oracle of Zechariah 10, where God promises to reverse the diaspora by gathering his scattered flock. The phrase 'walk up and down in his name' (yithhallekhun bishemo) echoes the covenant formula of walking with God (Genesis 5:22; 6:9; Micah 6:8), transposing the individual relationship into a communal, missional movement. The preceding verses (10:8-11) employ the exodus typology — passing through sea, waves beaten down, Nile dried up — to describe the eschatological return from Assyria and Egypt, making the restoration a new exodus. The oracle's combination of divine initiative ('I will strengthen') and human response ('they shall walk') reflects the covenant structure of grace enabling obedience.
