Zechariah 3

1Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Yahweh, and the Accuser standing at his right hand to accuse him.

2And Yahweh said to the Accuser, “Yahweh rebuke you, O Accuser! Indeed, Yahweh, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this a brand snatched from the fire?”

3Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and was standing before the angel.

4And he answered and said to those standing before him, “Remove the filthy garments from upon him.” Then he said to him, “See, I have taken your iniquity away from upon you, and I will clothe you with fine garments.”

5Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So they put the clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments, while the angel of Yahweh was standing by.

6Then the angel of Yahweh solemnly charged Joshua, saying,

7Thus says Yahweh of hosts: If you walk in my ways and if you keep my charge, then you also shall govern my house and also keep my courts, and I will give you free access among these who are standing here.

8Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your companions who sit before you, for they are men of a sign; for behold, I am bringing my servant, the Branch.

9For behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua—on one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I myself will engrave its engraving, declares Yahweh of Armies, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in a single day.

10On that day, declares Yahweh of Armies, each of you will invite his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.
