The Vision of Joshua the High Priest 1And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel† of YHWH, and Satan† was standing at his right hand to oppose him. 2And YHWH said to Satan, “YHWH rebukes you, Satan! And may YHWH who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you. Is not this a firebrand† snatched from the fire?” 3And Joshua was there, dressed in filthy garments, and he was standing before the angel. 4And he answered and spoke to those standing before Him, saying, “Take away the filthy garments from him.” And he said to him, “See, your iniquity I have made pass from you, and I will clothe you with splendid robes.” 5And I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” And they put a clean turban on his head, and they clothed him with garments, and the angel of YHWH was standing by. 6And the angel of YHWH testified to Joshua, saying, 7“Thus says YHWH of Hosts, ‘If you will walk in My ways and if you will keep My command, then you will judge My house, and also guard My courts, and I will give to you goings among these ones standing by. 8Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your companions sitting before you, for they are men of a sign: Now behold, I am bringing forth My Servant the Branch. 9For behold, the stone that I have given before the face of Joshua, upon a single stone with seven eyes,† behold, I am engraving its inscription, a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. 10On that day, a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, each man will call his neighbor to be under his vine and under his fig tree.’” Footnotes: 1 Or Angel; also in verses 3, 4, 5, and 6; corresponding pronouns may also be capitalized. 1 That is, the Accuser or the Adversary; also in verse 2 2 Or a burning stick 9 Or facets Berean Literal Bible This is the first draft of the Berean Literal Bible.
