Clean Garments for the High Priest
3:1 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.
3:2 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?
3:3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood
before the angel.
3:4 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.
3:5 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.
3:6 And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua,
saying,
3:7 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.
3:8 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.
3:9 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.
3:10 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call
every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig
tree. |
