Read Zechariah 3 in full →The High Priest and a Branch
3Then he showed me aJoshua the high priest standing before the angel of Yahweh, and 1,bSatan standing at his right hand to accuse him. 2And Yahweh said to Satan, “aYahweh rebuke you, Satan! Indeed, Yahweh who has bchosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a cbrand delivered from the fire?” 3Now Joshua was clothed with afilthy garments and standing before the angel. 4And he answered and spoke to those who were standing before him, saying, “aRemove the filthy garments from him.” Again he said to him, “See, I have bmade your iniquity pass away from you and 1will cclothe you with festal robes.” 5Then I said, “Let them put a clean aturban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments, while the angel of Yahweh was standing by.
6And the angel of Yahweh testified to Joshua, saying, 7“Thus says Yahweh of hosts, ‘If you will awalk in My ways and if you will keep the responsibility given by Me, then you will also brender justice in My house and also keep My ccourts, and I will grant you 1access to walk among these who are standing here.
