Chapter 3
Fourth vision: the investiture of Joshua
1
He[*a] showed me Joshua the high priest, standing before the angel of Yahweh, with Satan standing on his right to accuse him.
2
The angel of Yahweh said to Satan, ‘May Yahweh rebuke you, Satan, may Yahweh rebuke you, he who has made Jerusalem his very own. Is not this man a brand snatched from the fire?'[*b]
3
Now Joshua was dressed in dirty clothes[*c] as he stood before the angel of Yahweh.
3:4a The angel said these words to those who stood before him, ‘Take off his dirty clothes and clothe him in splendid robes of state,
5
and put a clean turban on his head’. They clothed him in splendid robes of state and put a clean turban on his head.[*d] The angel of Yahweh was standing there and said to him,
3:4b ‘Look, I have taken away your iniquity from you’.
6
The angel of Yahweh then proclaimed to Joshua:
7
‘Yahweh Sabaoth says this, “If you walk in my ways and keep my ordinances, you shall govern my house, you shall watch over my courts, and I will give you free access among those who stand here.
The coming of the ‘Branch’
8
“Now listen, High Priest Joshua, you and the friends who sit before you – for you are men of good omen. I now mean to raise my servant Branch,
3:9b and I intend to put aside the iniquity of this land in a single day.
10
On that day-it is Yahweh Sabaoth who speaks-you will entertain each other under your vine and fig tree.”
