The High Priest and a Branch

¹ Then he showed me ^(C1)Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Yahweh, and ^(F1)(C2)Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.² And Yahweh said to Satan, "^(C1)Yahweh rebuke you, Satan! Indeed, Yahweh who has ^(C2)chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a ^(C3)brand delivered from the fire?"³ Now Joshua was clothed with ^(C1)filthy garments and standing before the angel.⁴ And he answered and spoke to those who were standing before him, saying, "^(C1)Remove the filthy garments from him." Again he said to him, "See, I have ^(C2)made your iniquity pass away from you and ^(F1)will ^(C3)clothe you with festal robes."⁵ Then I said, "Let them put a clean ^(C1)turban on his head." So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments, while the angel of Yahweh was standing by.

⁶ And the angel of Yahweh testified to Joshua, saying,⁷ "Thus says Yahweh of hosts, 'If you will ^(C1)walk in My ways and if you will keep the responsibility given by Me, then you will also ^(C2)render justice in My house and also keep My ^(C3)courts, and I will grant you ^(F1)access to walk among these who are standing here.⁸ 'Now listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who are sitting in front of you—indeed they are men who are a ^(C1)wondrous sign, for behold, I am going to bring in My servant the ^(F1)(C2)Branch.⁹ 'For behold, the stone that I have put before Joshua; on one stone are ^(C1)seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave an inscription on it,' declares Yahweh of hosts, 'and I will ^(C2)remove the iniquity of that land in one day.¹⁰ 'In that day,' declares Yahweh of hosts, 'every one of you will call for his neighbor to sit under his ^(C1)vine and under his fig tree.'"
