Chapter 3

1

And he sheweth me Joshua the high priest standing before the messenger of Yehovah, and the Adversary standing at his right hand, to be an adversary to him.

2

And Yehovah saith unto the Adversary: `Yehovah doth push against thee, O Adversary, Yea, push against thee doth Yehovah, Who is fixing on Jerusalem, Is not this a brand delivered from fire?`

3

And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and is standing before the messenger.

4

And he answereth and speaketh unto those standing before him, saying: `Turn aside the filthy garments from off him.` And he saith unto him, `See, I have caused thine iniquity to pass away from off thee, so as to clothe thee with costly apparel.`

5

He also said, `Let them set a pure diadem on his head. And they set the pure diadem on his head, and clothe him with garments. And the messenger of Yehovah is standing,

6

and the messenger of Yehovah doth protest to Joshua, saying:

7

`Thus said Yehovah of Hosts: If in My ways thou dost walk, And if My charge thou dost keep, Then also thou dost judge My house, And also thou dost keep My courts, And I have given to thee conductors among these standing by.

8

Hear, I pray thee, Joshua, the high priest, Thou and thy companions sitting before thee, (For men of type are they,) For lo, I am bringing in My servant -- a Shoot.

9

For lo, the stone that I put before Joshua, On one stone are seven eyes, Lo, I am graving its graving, An affirmation of Yehovah of Hosts, And I have removed the iniquity of that land in one day.

10

In that day -- an affirmation of Yehovah of Hosts, Ye do call, each unto his neighbour, Unto the place of the vine, And unto the place of the fig-tree!`
