George Lamsa Translation

Zechariah 3

1 THEN he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to harm him.2 And the angel of the LORD said to Satan, The LORD rebuke you, O Satan; even the LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you. Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel of the LORD.4 And the angel answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And to him he said, Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with good raiment.5 And he said, Let them put a clean mitre on his head and clothe him with good garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.6 And the angel of the LORD charged Joshua, saying,7 Thus says the LORD of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and keep my commandments, then you shall also judge my house and keep my courts, and I will grant you to walk among these that stand by.

8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who stand before you; for you are marvelous men: Behold, I will bring forth the rising of the sun upon my servant.9 For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven facets; behold, I will open its gates, says the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in that day.10 In that day, says the LORD of hosts, every man shall invite his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.
