זכריה, פרק ז׳, פסוק ד׳

Divine revelation often arrives not as an unprompted vision, but as a direct answer to human searching. A pressing question is brought forward, yet the priests, who typically guide the people, find themselves unable to provide a solution. Because they cannot resolve the matter, the responsibility shifts to the prophet. It is his specific role to step in and offer clear direction on complex issues of this nature [ביאור שטיינזלץ].

God's message arrives immediately after the inquiry is made. This prophecy serves as a direct, divine response to the people, showing that God is actively answering their concern without delay [אבן עזרא, מצודת דוד].
