< Zechariah 3 >

1 And he showed me Joshua the priest great standing before [the] angel of Yahweh and the accuser [was] standing at right [hand] his to accuse him.
He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of YHWH, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.
2 And he said Yahweh to the accuser may he rebuke Yahweh you O accuser and may he rebuke Yahweh you who has chosen Jerusalem ¿ not [is] this a piece of firewood plucked out from a fire.
YHWH said to Satan, "YHWH rebuke you, Satan. Yes, YHWH who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you. Isn't this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?"
3 And Joshua he was clothed garments filthy and standing before the angel.
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel.
4 And he answered and he said to those [who] were standing before him saying remove the garments filthy from on him and he said to him see I have taken away from on you iniquity your and I will clothe you robes.
He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, "Take the filthy garments off of him." To him he said, "Look, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing."
5 And I said let them put a turban clean on head his and they put the turban clean on head his and they clothed him garments and [the] angel of Yahweh [was] standing.
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 YHWH was standing by.
6 And he admonished [the] angel of Yahweh Joshua saying.
The angel of YHWH protested to Joshua, saying,
7 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts if in ways my you will walk and if charge my you will keep and also you you will govern house my and also you will guard courts my and I will give to you goings between those [who] are standing these.
"Thus says YHWH of hosts: 'If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, 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 please O Joshua - the priest great you and companions your who sit before you for [are] men of sign they for here I [am] about to bring servant my branch.
Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you; for they are men who are a sign: for, look, I will bring forth my servant, the Branch.
9 For - there! the stone which I have set before Joshua [are] on a stone one seven eyes here I [am] about to engrave engraving its [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts and I will remove [the] iniquity of the land that in a day one.
For, look, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: look, I will engrave its engraving,' says YHWH of hosts, 'and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
10 In the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts you will invite each neighbor his to under a vine and to under a fig tree.
In that day,' says YHWH of hosts, 'you will invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.'"
