Question source
Zechariah
Zechariah describes many peoples and strong nations coming to Jerusalem to seek the LORD of hosts in Zechariah 8:22. It pictures ten men from nations taking hold of the robe of a Jew, saying they want to go because God is with him in Zechariah 8:23. The passage presents Jerusalem as a focal point for seeking the LORD.
20Thus says Yahweh of Hosts: [It shall] yet [happen], that there shall come peoples, and the inhabitants of many cities;
21and the inhabitants of one [city] shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to entreat the favor of Yahweh, and to seek Yahweh of Hosts: I will go also.
22Yes, many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek Yahweh of Hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of Yahweh.
23Thus says Yahweh of Hosts: In those days [it shall happen], that ten men shall take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, they shall take hold of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.
