Zechariah 6:11

crowns The plural may perhaps be used for onecrown (a crown, R. V. margin), as it is apparently in Job 31:36. Or there may have been two wreaths or fillets, possibly one of each precious metal, woven into a crown. In Zechariah 6:14 where the word again occurs it is joined with a verb in the singular: lit. the crowns(it) shall be. In any case it refers exclusively to the royalcrown or crowns (Revelation 19:12). The High-priest's mitre is never called a crown.

Josedech Jehozadak. R. V.
