Zechariah 3
1 And 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 And Yahweh said to Satan, Yahweh rebuke you, O Satan; yes, Yahweh that has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel.4 And he answered and spoke to those that stood before him, saying, Take the filthy garments from off him. And to him he said, Look, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich apparel.5 And I said, Let them set a clean turban on his head. So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him with garments; and the angel of Yahweh was standing by.6 And 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 that stand by.
8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows that sit before you; for they are men that are a sign: for, look, I will bring forth my slave the Branch.9 For, look, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: look, I will engrave the engraving thereof, 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 shall invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig-tree.
