The Cleansing of Joshua the High Priest and the Promised Branch
Zechariah 3:1-10
1And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the messenger of the LORD, and the Satan standing at his right hand to oppose him.2And the LORD said to the Satan, 'May the LORD rebuke you, Satan; may the LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you. Is this not a firebrand plucked from the fire?'3And Joshua was clothed in filthy garments and standing before the messenger.4And he answered and said to those standing before him, saying, 'Remove the filthy garments from him.' And he said to him, 'See, I have taken away your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with robes.'5And I said, 'Let them place a pure turban on his head.' So they placed the pure turban on his head and clothed him with garments, while the messenger of the LORD stood by.6And the messenger of the LORD testified to Joshua, saying,7'Thus says the LORD of Hosts: If you walk in my ways and if you keep my charge, then you shall also judge my house and keep my courts, and I will give you access among these who stand here.'8Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your companions who sit before you, for they are men of portent; for behold, I am bringing my servant the Branch.9For behold the stone that I have set before Joshua; on a single stone are seven eyes. Behold, I am engraving its engraving, declares the LORD of Hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in a single day.10On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, every man will call to his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.
