Yahweh’s angel protested to Joshua, saying, “Yahweh of Armies says: ‘If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you a place of access among these who stand by. Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you; for they are men who are a sign: for, behold, I will bring out my servant, the Branch. For, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: behold, I will engrave its engraving,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. 10 In that day,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘you will invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.’”

The Lord’s Charge to Joshua

Then the angel of the Lord gave this charge to Joshua: “This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says: ‘If you will live according to my ways, and if you will keep what I have entrusted to you,[a] then you will also administer my Temple, and you will also guard my courtyards. And I will give you access to these who serve[b] here.

“‘Listen, High Priest Joshua, you and those companions of yours who sit with you,[c] for these men are a sign that I am presenting my servant, the Branch.[d] Look, the stone that I put in place in Joshua’s presence—on that one stone are seven eyes.[e] And look, I will do the engraving myself,’ declares the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, ‘and I will remove the perversity of that land in a single day. 10 At that time,’[f] declares the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, ‘you will invite each of your neighbors to join you[g] under the vine and fig tree.’”
