Zechariah 3:1-7

Modern English Version

The Vision of Joshua the High Priest

3 Then he showed me Joshua, the high priest, standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. ² And the Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebukes you! Is this not a burning brand taken out of the fire?”

³ Now Joshua had on filthy garments and was standing before the angel. ⁴ And he said to those standing before him, “Take off his filthy garments.”

Then he said, “See that I have removed from you your iniquity, and I will clothe you with rich robes.”

⁵ And I said, “Let them place a pure turban on his head.” So they put a pure turban on his head and garments on him. And the angel of the Lord was standing by.

⁶ And the angel of the Lord admonished Joshua, saying, ⁷ “Thus says the Lord of Hosts: If you walk in My ways and keep My charge, then you will judge My house and guard My courts, and I will give to you access to these who are standing here.
