"And Jehovah said unto me, Cast it unto the potter, the goodly price that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty [pieces] of silver, and cast them unto the potter, in the house of Jehovah." — Zechariah 11:13 (ASV)
The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart;
The priests, as well as the kings and the prophets, were to be represented in this universal mourning.
The family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
Shimei, or Simeon, as the Septuagint gives it – which may either represent the scribes, or else may refer to the people in general. These shall all mourn, personally and separately, for him whom they have pierced.
