1 He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of
Yahweh, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary. 2 Yahweh
said to Satan, �Yahweh rebuke you, Satan! Yes, Yahweh who has chosen
Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn�t this a burning stick plucked out of 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, �Behold, I have caused
your iniquity to pass 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
Yahweh was standing by. 6 The angel of Yahweh protested to Joshua, saying,
7 �Thus says Yahweh of hosts: �If you will walk in my ways, and if you
will keep my charge, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep
my courts, and I will give you a place of access among these who stand by.
8 Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before
you; for they are men who are a sign: for, behold, I will bring forth my
servant, the Branch. 9 For, behold, the stone that I have set before
Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the engraving of
it,� says Yahweh of Hosts, �and I will remove the iniquity of that land in
one day. 10 In that day,� says Yahweh of hosts, �you will invite
every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.��
