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. 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 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 of 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 angel of
Yahweh was standing by. 6 The angel of Yahweh protested to Joshua, saying,
7 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘If you will walk in my ways, and if you
will keep my charge, 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 forth 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 the engraving of
it,’ says Yahweh of Hosts, ‘and I will remove the iniquity of that land in
one day. 10 In that day,’ says Yahweh of hosts, ‘you will invite
every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.’”
