Clean Garments for Joshua the High Priest
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! Is this man not a burning stick snatched from 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, “I have removed your iniquity 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 “The Lord of Hosts says: ‘If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, then you shall judge my house and keep my courts, and I will bestow to you access to a place among those who are standing here.
8 Hear now, Joshua, high priest, you and your fellow priests who sit before you. These men are a wondrous sign, for I will bring forth my Servant, the Branch. 9 For the stone that I have set before Joshua: I will inscribe an engraving in one stone with seven facets,’ says the Lord of Hosts, ‘and in one day, I will remove the iniquity of that land. 10 On that day,’ says the Lord of Hosts, ‘you will each invite your neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.’ ”
