Zechariah Capítulo 3

Like Haggai, Zechariah urged the people to rebuild the temple, assuring them of God's help and blessings. His visions pointed to a bright future.

A Conservative Version

3 : 1 And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the agent of Jehovah, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.

3 : 2 And Jehovah said to Satan, Jehovah rebuke thee, O Satan. Yea, Jehovah who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee. Is this not a brand plucked out of the fire?

3 : 3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the agent.

3 : 4 And he answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, Take the filthy garments from off him. And to him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with rich apparel.

3 : 5 And I said, Let them set a clean miter upon his head. So they set a clean miter upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the agent of Jehovah was standing by.

3 : 6 And the agent of Jehovah testified to Joshua, saying,

3 : 7 Thus says Jehovah of hosts: If thou will walk in my ways, and if thou will keep my charge, then thou also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give thee a place of access among these who stand by.

3 : 8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou and thy fellows who sit before thee, for they are men who are a sign. For, behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch.

3 : 9 For, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua. Upon one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave the graving of it, says Jehovah of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

3 : 10 In that day, says Jehovah of hosts, ye shall invite each man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.
