1
Then Yahweh showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Yahweh and Satan was standing at his right hand to accuse him of sin.
2
The angel of Yahweh said to Satan, “May Yahweh rebuke you, Satan; may Yahweh, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is this not a brand pulled from the fire?”
3
Joshua was dressed in filthy garments as he stood before the angel.
4
The angel spoke and said to those who stood before him, “Remove the filthy garments from upon him.” Then he said to Joshua, “Look! I have caused your iniquity to pass from you and I will dress you in fine clothing.”
5
He said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head!” So they set a clean turban on Joshua’s head and clothed him with clean garments while the angel of Yahweh was standing by.
6
Next the angel of Yahweh solemnly commanded Joshua and said,
7
“Yahweh of hosts says this: If you will walk in my ways, and if you will keep my commandments, then you will govern my house and guard my courts, for I will allow you to go and come among these who stand before me.
8
Listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your companions who live with you! For these men are a sign, for I myself will bring up my servant the Branch.
9
Now look at the stone that I have set before Joshua. There are seven eyes on this single stone, and I will engrave an inscription-this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts-and I will remove the sin from this land in one day.
10
In that day-this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts-each man will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and under his fig tree.”
