He showed me Y’hoshua the cohen hagadol standing before the angel of Adonai, with the Accuser [a] standing at his right to accuse him. Adonai said to the Accuser, “May Adonai rebuke you, Accuser! Indeed, may Adonai, who has made Yerushalayim his choice, rebuke you! Isn’t this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?” Y’hoshua was clothed in garments covered with dung; and he was standing before the angel, who said to those standing in front of him, “Take those filthy garments off of him.” Then to him he said, “See, I am taking your guilt away. I will clothe you in fine robes.” I said, “They should put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and gave him fine robes to wear, while the angel of Adonai stood by. Then the angel of Adonai gave Y’hoshua this warning: Adonai-Tzva’ot says this: ‘If you will walk in my ways, obey my commission, judge my house and guard my courtyards; then I will give you free access among these who are standing here. Listen, cohen gadol Y’hoshua, both you and your colleagues seated here before you, because these men are a sign that I am going to bring my servant Tzemach [Sprout]. For look at the stone I have put in front of Y’hoshua: on one stone are seven eyes; I will engrave what is to be written on it,’ says Adonai-Tzva’ot; ‘and I will remove the guilt of this land in one day. 10 When that time comes,’ says Adonai-Tzva’ot, ‘you will all invite each other to join you under your vines and fig trees.’”

  1. Zechariah 3:1 Hebrew: Satan

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。』」
