## The High Priest and a Branch
###### 1
Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Yahweh, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.
###### 2
And Yahweh said to Satan, "Yahweh rebuke you, Satan! Indeed, Yahweh who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand delivered from the fire?"
###### 3
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and standing before the angel.
###### 4
And he answered and spoke to those who were standing before him, saying, "Remove the filthy garments from him." Again he said to him, "See, I have made your iniquity pass away from you and will clothe you with festal robes."
###### 5
Then I said, "Let them put a clean turban 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.
###### 6
And the angel of Yahweh testified to Joshua, saying,
###### 7
"Thus says Yahweh of hosts, 'If you will walk in My ways and if you will keep the responsibility _given by_ Me, then you will also render justice in My house and also keep My courts, and I will grant you access to walk among these who are standing _here_.
###### 8
Now listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who are sitting in front of you--indeed they are men who are a wondrous sign, for behold, I am going to bring in My servant the Branch.
###### 9
For behold, the stone that I have put before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave an inscription on it,' declares Yahweh of hosts, 'and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
###### 10
In that day,' declares Yahweh of hosts, 'every one of you will call for his neighbor to _sit_ under _his_ vine and under _his_ fig tree.'"
