大祭司約書亞的異象

耶和華又使我看見大祭司約書亞站在耶和華的使者面前,撒但也站在約書亞右邊控告他。 耶和華對撒但說:“撒但哪!耶和華斥責你,那揀選了耶路撒冷的耶和華斥責你。這個人不是從火中抽出來的一根柴嗎?”

那時,約書亞穿著污穢的衣服,站在使者的面前。 使者吩咐那些侍立在他面前的說:“你們要脫去他污穢的衣服。”又對約書亞說:“看哪!我已經除去了你的罪孽,要給你穿上華美的禮服。”

我說:“你們要把潔淨的冠冕戴在他的頭上。”他們就把潔淨的冠冕戴在他的頭上,又給他穿上華美的衣服。那時,耶和華的使者正在旁邊站著。

耶和華的使者勸戒約書亞說: “萬軍之耶和華這樣說:‘你若遵行我的道,謹守我的吩咐,你就必治理我的家,看守我的院子,我必賜你特權,可以在這些侍立在我面前的使者中間自由出入。 大祭司約書亞啊!你和坐在你面前的眾同伴都要聽,(他們都是預表將來奇事的人,)我必使我的僕人,就是大衛的苗裔出生。 看我在約書亞面前所立的石頭,在這一塊石頭上有七眼。看哪!我要親自雕琢這石頭(這是萬軍之耶和華的宣告)。在一日之內,我要除去這地的罪孽。 10 到那日(這是萬軍之耶和華的宣告),你們各人要邀請自己的鄰舍來,坐在葡萄樹下和無花果樹下。’”

大祭司约书亚的异象

耶和华又使我看见大祭司约书亚站在耶和华的使者面前,撒但也站在约书亚右边控告他。 耶和华对撒但说:“撒但哪!耶和华斥责你,那拣选了耶路撒冷的耶和华斥责你。这个人不是从火中抽出来的一根柴吗?”

那时,约书亚穿著污秽的衣服,站在使者的面前。 使者吩咐那些侍立在他面前的说:“你们要脱去他污秽的衣服。”又对约书亚说:“看哪!我已经除去了你的罪孽,要给你穿上华美的礼服。”

我说:“你们要把洁净的冠冕戴在他的头上。”他们就把洁净的冠冕戴在他的头上,又给他穿上华美的衣服。那时,耶和华的使者正在旁边站着。

耶和华的使者劝戒约书亚说: “万军之耶和华这样说:‘你若遵行我的道,谨守我的吩咐,你就必治理我的家,看守我的院子,我必赐你特权,可以在这些侍立在我面前的使者中间自由出入。 大祭司约书亚啊!你和坐在你面前的众同伴都要听,(他们都是预表将来奇事的人,)我必使我的仆人,就是大卫的苗裔出生。 看我在约书亚面前所立的石头,在这一块石头上有七眼。看哪!我要亲自雕琢这石头(这是万军之耶和华的宣告)。在一日之内,我要除去这地的罪孽。 10 到那日(这是万军之耶和华的宣告),你们各人要邀请自己的邻舍来,坐在葡萄树下和无花果树下。’”

約書亞大祭司

耶和華又讓我看見約書亞大祭司站在祂的天使面前,撒旦站在約書亞的右邊要控訴他。 耶和華對撒旦說:「撒旦啊,耶和華斥責你!揀選耶路撒冷的耶和華斥責你!這人豈不像從火中抽出來的一根柴嗎?」 那時,約書亞穿著污穢的衣服站在天使面前。 天使對侍立在周圍的說:「脫掉他污穢的衣服。」他又對約書亞說:「看啊,我已除掉你的罪,我要給你穿上華美的衣服。」

我說:「要給他戴上潔淨的禮冠。」他們便給他戴上潔淨的禮冠、穿上華美的衣服。那時,耶和華的天使站在旁邊。

耶和華的天使告誡約書亞: 「萬軍之耶和華說,『你若遵行我的道,謹守我的吩咐,便可以管理我的家,看守我的院宇。我必讓你在這些侍立的天使中間自由出入。 約書亞大祭司啊,你和坐在你面前的同伴們聽著,你們都是將來之事的預兆——我將使我僕人大衛的苗裔興起。 看啊,這是我在約書亞面前安置的石頭,它有七眼[a],我要在上面刻上字,並在一天之內除掉這地方的罪。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。 10 到那天,你們將各自邀請鄰居坐在葡萄樹和無花果樹下。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。』」

Clean Garments for the High Priest

Then he showed me Joshua(A) the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan[a](B) standing at his right side to accuse him. The Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you,(C) Satan! The Lord, who has chosen(D) Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick(E) snatched from the fire?”(F)

Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. The angel said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.”

Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken away your sin,(G) and I will put fine garments(H) on you.”

Then I said, “Put a clean turban(I) on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the Lord stood by.

The angel of the Lord gave this charge to Joshua: “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘If you will walk in obedience to me and keep my requirements,(J) then you will govern my house(K) and have charge(L) of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.(M)

“‘Listen, High Priest(N) Joshua, you and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic(O) of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.(P) See, the stone I have set in front of Joshua!(Q) There are seven eyes[b](R) on that one stone,(S) and I will engrave an inscription on it,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will remove the sin(T) of this land in a single day.

10 “‘In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit(U) under your vine and fig tree,(V)’ declares the Lord Almighty.”

And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.

And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?

Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.

And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.

And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord stood by.

And the angel of the Lord protested unto Joshua, saying,

Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.

Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch.

For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

10 In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
