Zechariah Chapter 3 Back Next{3:1} He showed me
Joshua the
high priest standing before the angel of Yahweh, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.
{3:2} Yahweh said to Satan, "Yahweh rebuke you, Satan! Yes, Yahweh who has chosen
Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn't this a burning stick plucked out of the
fire?"
{3:3} Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel.
{3:4} He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, "Take the filthy garments off of him." To him he said, "Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing."
{3:5} I said, "Let them set a clean turban on his head." So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him; and the angel of Yahweh was standing by.
{3:6} The angel of Yahweh protested to Joshua, saying,
{3:7} "Thus says Yahweh of Armies: 'If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you a place of access among these who stand by.
{3:8} Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you; for they are men who are a sign: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant, the
Branch.
{3:9} For, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: behold, I will engrave its engraving,' says Yahweh of Armies, 'and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
{3:10} In that day,' says Yahweh of Armies, 'you will invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the
fig tree.'"
