⁵ Then I said, “Put a clean turban^(C) on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the Lord stood by.

⁶ The angel of the Lord gave this charge to Joshua: ⁷ “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘If you will walk in obedience to me and keep my requirements,^(D) then you will govern my house^(E) and have charge^(F) of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.^(G)

⁸ “‘Listen, High Priest^(H) Joshua, you and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic^(I) of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.^{(J) 9} See, the stone I have set in front of Joshua!^(K) There are seven eyes^[a](L) on that one stone,^(M) and I will engrave an inscription on it,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will remove the sin^(N) of this land in a single day.
