Zechariah 3:1-7 ▼

1 He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, 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 of him.| To him he said, |Look, 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 the LORD was standing by.

6 The angel of the LORD protested to Joshua, saying,

7 |Thus says the LORD of hosts: '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.
