Joshua, the High Priest

1Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and [a]Satan standing at his right to accuse him. 2And the LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, Satan! Indeed, the LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a log snatched from the fire?” 3Now Joshua was clothed in filthy garments and was standing before the angel. 4And he responded and said to those who were standing before him, saying, “Remove the filthy garments from him.” Again he said to him, “See, I have taken your guilt away from you and [b]will clothe you with festive robes.” 5Then I said, “Have them put a clean headband on his head.” So they put the clean headband on his head and clothed him with garments, while the angel of the LORD was standing by.

6And the angel of the LORD admonished Joshua, saying, 7“The LORD of armies says this: ‘If you walk in My ways and perform My service, then you will both govern My house and be in charge of My courtyards, and I will grant you [c]free access among these who are standing here.

The Branch

8Now listen, Joshua, you high priest, you and your friends who are sitting in front of you—indeed they are men who are a sign: for behold, I am going to bring in My servant the [d]Branch. 9For behold, the stone that I have put before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I am going to engrave an inscription on it,’ declares the LORD of armies, ‘and I will remove the guilt of that land in one day. 10On that day,’ declares the LORD of armies, ‘every one of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and under his fig tree.’”



[a] 1 Satan is Heb for Adversary; or Accuser
[b] 4 Lit to clothe
[c] 7 Lit goings
