ZecharyahChapter 3
Filthy Garments Removed, Clean Robes Given
Joshua the high priest in filthy garments, the adversary accusing, Elohim silencing the accuser and clothing Joshua in clean robes — the justification Yeshua grants to every accused believer.
- The High Priest Cleansed
Joshua the high priest stands accused by Satan, but Elohim rebukes the accuser and clothes Joshua in clean garments.
- 1He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before YHWH’s malak, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.
- 2YHWH said to Satan, “YHWH rebuke you, Satan! Yes, YHWH who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?”
- 3Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the malak.
- 4He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, “Take the filthy garments off him.” To him he said, “Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing.”
- 5I said, “Let them set a clean turban on his head.” So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him; and YHWH’s malak was standing by.
- 6YHWH’s malak solemnly assured Joshua, saying,
- 7“YHWH Tzeva'ot 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 amongst these who stand by.
- The Branch — Mashiach the Servant
Behold, My servant the Branch. The Mashiach is a servant who grows from humble roots into greatness.
- 8Hear 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.Fulfilled · Hitgalut 22:16
- 9For, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua: on one stone are seven eyes; behold, I will engrave its inscription,’ says YHWH Tzeva'ot, ‘and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
- 10In that day,’ says YHWH Tzeva'ot, ‘you will invite every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.’”
