Clean Garments for the High Priest

¹ Then he showed me Joshua^(a) the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan^[a](b) standing at his right side to accuse him. ² The Lord said to Satan, "The Lord rebuke you,^(c) Satan! The Lord, who has chosen^(d) Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick^(e) snatched from the fire?"^(f)

³ Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. ⁴ The angel said to those who were standing before him, "Take off his filthy clothes."

Then he said to Joshua, "See, I have taken away your sin,^(g) and I will put fine garments^(h) on you."

⁵ Then I said, "Put a clean turban⁽ⁱ⁾ on his head." So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the Lord stood by.

⁶ The angel of the Lord gave this charge to Joshua: ⁷ "This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘If you will walk in obedience to me and keep my requirements,^(j) then you will govern my house^(k) and have charge^(l) of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.^(m)

⁸ "‘Listen, High Priest⁽ⁿ⁾ Joshua, you and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic^(o) of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.^{(p) 9} See, the stone I have set in front of Joshua!^(q) There are seven eyes^[b](r) on that one stone,^(s) and I will engrave an inscription on it,' says the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will remove the sin^(t) of this land in a single day.

¹⁰ "‘In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit^(u) under your vine and fig tree,^(v)' declares the Lord Almighty."
