- Chapter 3 -

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.”
1
He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the LORD’s angel, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.
2
The LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, Satan! Yes, the LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?”
3
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel.
4
He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, “Take the filthy garments off him.” To him he said, “Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing.”
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 LORD’s angel was standing by.
6
The LORD’s angel solemnly assured Joshua, saying,
7
The LORD of Armies says: ‘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.
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 out my servant, the Branch.
9
For, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua: on one stone are seven eyes; behold, I will engrave its inscription,’ says the LORD of Armies, ‘and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
10
In that day,’ says the LORD of Armies, ‘you will invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.’”
