Zechariah 3

The High Priest and a Branch

Then he showed me ^aJoshua the high priest standing before the angel of Yahweh, and ¹^bSatan standing at his right hand to accuse him. 2 And Yahweh said to Satan, “^aYahweh rebuke you, Satan! Indeed, Yahweh who has ^bchosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a ^cbrand delivered from the fire?” 3 Now Joshua was clothed with ^afilthy garments and standing before the angel. 4 And he answered and spoke to those who were standing before him, saying, “^aRemove the filthy garments from him.” Again he said to him, “See, I have ^bmade your iniquity pass away from you and ¹will ^cclothe you with festal robes.” 5 Then I said, “Let them put a clean ^aturban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments, while the angel of Yahweh was standing by.
6 And the angel of Yahweh testified to Joshua, saying, 7 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts, ‘If you will ^awalk in My ways and if you will keep the responsibility given by Me, then you will also ^brender justice in My house and also keep My ^ccourts, and I will grant you ¹access to walk among these who are standing here. 8 Now listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who are sitting in front of you—indeed they are men who are a ^awondrous sign, for behold, I am going to bring in My servant the ¹^bBranch. 9 For behold, the stone that I have put before Joshua; on one stone are ^aseven eyes. Behold, I will engrave an inscription on it,’ declares Yahweh of hosts, ‘and I will ^bremove the iniquity of that land in one day. 10 In that day,’ declares Yahweh of hosts, ‘every one of you will call for his neighbor to sit under his ^avine and under his fig tree.’”
