Zechariah 2:7
“Get up, O Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the Daughter of Babylon!”
BSB
ASV
Ho Zion, escape, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
KJV
Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
(Verse 6 and following) O, O flee from the land of the North, says the Lord, for I have scattered you like the four winds of heaven, says the Lord. O Zion, arise, you who dwell in the daughter of Babylon. LXX: O flee from the land of the north, says the Lord, for I will gather you from the four winds of heaven, says the Lord. In Zion you shall be saved, you who dwell in the daughter of Babylon.
Dwellest with the daughter of Babylon - The unusual idiom is perhaps chosen as expressive of God’s tenderness, even to the people who were to be destroyed, from which Israel was to escape.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
