Who are the ten men that take hold out of all languages in Zechariah 8:23?
The ten men are Gentiles drawn from all the languages of the Gentile nations, not Jews. In this future prophecy they take hold and invite one another to pray before the Lord and seek the Lord of Hosts in Jerusalem.
Les explains that this is future prophecy: people in many cities, and inhabitants of one city, will go to another saying, “Let us go speedily to pray before the Lord, and to seek the Lord of Hosts.” He stresses these are Gentiles, not Jews—cities and nations, many people and strong nations, plural. Verse 22 says they shall come to seek the Lord of Hosts in Jerusalem and pray before the Lord, or Jehovah. In those prophetic days, ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, the Gentile nations. Les ties this to Exodus: Israel was to become a kingdom of priests, every Jew a priest and go-between. So the ten men are Gentiles from all languages of the Gentile nations, drawn to Jerusalem to pray before the Lord.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
