Shalom B-Greek,

Could you help us with the LXX version of

Zechariah 6:12-13
And speak unto him, saying,
Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying,
Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH;
   and he shall grow up out of his place,
   and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
Even he shall build the temple of the LORD;
   and he shall bear the glory,
   and shall sit and rule upon his throne;
   **and he shall be a priest upon his throne: **
   and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

One friend gave me this...
estau o iereus ek dexion
he will be priest at his right hand - Rahlf's
verb estau-fut mid ind 3rd per sing, from eimi.......be, exist; happen, 
take place, live....
(note: It would appear that the "he" has to be "the man whose name is branch".)

Would you agree that the LXX leans toward the KJB translation,
     "and he shall be a priest upon his throne" (or, "at his right hand")

rather than a translation like...
     "and there shall be a priest upon his throne"

Much appreciated :-)
