Zechariah 3:1-8 ▼

1 And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of YHWH, and Satan was standing at his right hand to oppose him.

2 And YHWH said to Satan, “YHWH rebukes you, Satan! And may YHWH who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you. Is not this a firebrand snatched from the fire?”

3 And Joshua was there, dressed in filthy garments, and he was standing before the angel.

4 And he answered and spoke to those standing before Him, saying, “Take away the filthy garments from him.” And he said to him, “See, your iniquity I have made pass from you, and I will clothe you with splendid robes.”

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

6 And the angel of YHWH testified to Joshua, saying,

7 “Thus says YHWH of Hosts, ‘If you will walk in My ways and if you will keep My command, then you will judge My house, and also guard My courts, and I will give to you goings among these ones standing by.

8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your companions sitting before you, for they are men of a sign: Now behold, I am bringing forth My Servant the Branch.
