Charles Ellicott Commentary Zechariah 6:10

"Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, whither they are come from Babylon;" — Zechariah 6:10 (ASV)

THE SYMBOLICAL CROWNING OF JOSHUA.

Of those from the captivity. —Even those who had returned from the Captivity were so called (Ezra 4:1; Ezra 6:19). These were probably, however, Jews who intended to remain in the land of their exile, but who had come on a visit to Jerusalem, bringing offerings of silver and gold, to show their sympathy with their brothers who were carrying on the work of the rebuilding of the Temple.

Heldai is called “Helem” in Zechariah 6:14, and Josiah seems to be called “Hen.” It is very common for a person to be called by several different names in the Bible; thus Hobab, Jethro, Reuel, etc., are some of the names of Moses’ father-in-law. The Septuagint interprets the proper names as follows:— Heldai as “rulers,” Tobijah as “their useful men,” Jedaiah as “those who understood them.”

The same day. —Literally, on that day: namely, on the same day on which you take, etc.
