Zechariah 3:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Zechariah 3:3

Vision of the High Priest

1 Then he showed me ^aJoshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the Lord, and ^bSatan standing at his right hand to oppose him.

2 And the Lord said to Satan, ^a“The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord who ^bhas chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! ^cIs this not a brand plucked from the fire?”

3 Now Joshua was clothed with ^afilthy garments, and was standing before the Angel.

4 Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, “Take away the filthy garments from him.” And to him He said, “See, I have removed your iniquity from you, ^aand I will clothe you with rich robes.”

5 And I said, “Let them put a clean ^aturban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head, and they put the clothes on him. And the Angel of the Lord stood by.
