5 There was in the days of Herodes, the sovereign of Yehuḏah, a certain priest named Zeḵaryah, of the division of Aḇiyah. And his wife was of the daughters of Aharon, and her name was Elisheḇa.
6 And they were both righteous before Elohim, blamelessly walking in all the commands and righteousnesses of יהוה.
7 And they had no child, because Elisheḇa was barren, and both were advanced in years.
8 And it came to be, that while he was serving as priest before Elohim in the order of his division,
9 according to the institute of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to burn incense when he went into the Dwelling Place of יהוה.
10 And the entire crowd of people was praying outside at the hour of incense.
11 And a messenger of יהוה appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
