Zechariah 3

1 and to see: see me [obj] Joshua [the] priest [the] great: large to stand: stand to/for face: before messenger: angel LORD and [the] Satan to stand: stand upon right his to/for to oppose him

Then [Yahweh] showed me Joshua, the Supreme Priest, [who was] standing in front of the angel that Yahweh had sent. And Satan was standing at Joshua’s right side, [ready] to accuse him.

2 and to say LORD to(wards) [the] Satan to rebuke LORD in/on/with you [the] Satan and to rebuke LORD in/on/with you [the] to choose in/on/with Jerusalem not this firebrand to rescue from fire

But Yahweh said to Satan, “Satan, I am rebuking you! I [am the one] who has chosen Jerusalem [to be my special city, and I] am rebuking you! This [man, Joshua], [has been brought back from Babylonia]; he is surely [like] [MET, RHQ] a burning stick that has been snatched from a fire.”

3 and Joshua to be to clothe garment filthy and to stand: stand to/for face: before [the] messenger: angel

Joshua was wearing filthy clothes while he was standing in front of the angel.

4 and to answer and to say to(wards) [the] to stand: stand to/for face: before his to/for to say to turn aside: remove [the] garment [the] filthy from upon him and to say to(wards) him to see: behold! to pass: bring from upon you iniquity: crime your and to clothe [obj] you robe

The angel said to those [other angels] who were standing in front of him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” [After they did that, ] the angel said to Joshua, “Look! I have taken away [the guilt of] your sins, and I will put beautiful clothes on you.”

5 and to say to set: put turban pure upon head his and to set: put [the] turban [the] pure upon head his and to clothe him garment and messenger: angel LORD to stand: stand

Then I said to them, “Put a clean turban on his head!” So they put a clean turban on his head and put [new] on him, while the angel sent by Yahweh was standing there.

6 and to testify messenger: angel LORD in/on/with Joshua to/for to say

Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:

7 thus to say LORD Hosts if in/on/with way: conduct my to go: walk and if [obj] charge my to keep: obey and also you(m. s.) to judge [obj] house: home my and also to keep: guard [obj] court my and to give: give to/for you journey between [the] to stand: stand [the] these

“The Commander of the armies of angels says that if you do what I want you to do [IDM], and obey my instructions, you will (be in charge of/have authority over) [what is done in] my temple and its courtyard. And I will allow you to speak at any time to the angels who are standing near to me.

8 to hear: hear please Joshua [the] priest [the] great: large you(m. s.) and neighbor your [the] to dwell to/for face: before your for human wonder they(masc.) for look! I to come (in): bring [obj] servant/slave my branch

Joshua, [you are] the Supreme Priest, and your (associates/fellow priests) are sitting in front of you. They symbolize/represent things that will happen in the future. [Some day] I am going to bring someone who will work for me, someone who will be called the Branch.

9 for behold [the] stone which to give: put to/for face: before Joshua upon stone one seven eye look! I to engrave engraving her utterance LORD Hosts and to remove [obj] iniquity: crime [the] land: country/planet [the] he/she/it in/on/with day one

Look at the stone that I have put in front of Joshua. There are seven sides on the stone. I will engrave a message on that stone, and in one day I will remove the guilt of [all the people of] this country.

10 in/on/with day [the] he/she/it utterance LORD Hosts to call: call to man: anyone to/for neighbor his to(wards) underneath: under vine and to(wards) underneath: under fig

At that time, each of you will invite his friends [to come and sit] under his grapevine and under his fig tree. [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels declares.”
