003:004 He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying,
"Take the filthy garments off of him." To him he said,
"Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you,
and I will clothe you with rich clothing."
003:005 I said, "Let them set a clean turban on his head."
So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him;
and the angel of Yahweh was standing by.
003:006 The angel of Yahweh protested to Joshua, saying,
003:007 "Thus says Yahweh of Armies: 'If you will walk in my ways,
and if you will keep my charge, then you also shall judge
my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you
a place of access among these who stand by.
003:008 Hear 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 forth my servant, the Branch.
003:009 For, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone
are seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the engraving of it,'
says Yahweh of Armies, 'and I will remove the iniquity
of that land in one day.
003:010 In that day,' says Yahweh of Armies, 'you will invite every
man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.'"
004:001 The angel who talked with me came again, and wakened me,
as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.
004:002 He said to me, "What do you see?" I said, "I have seen,
and behold, a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl on the top
of it, and its seven lamps thereon; there are seven pipes
to each of the lamps, which are on the top of it;
004:003 and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl,
and the other on the left side of it."
004:004 I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying,
"What are these, my lord?"
004:005 Then the angel who talked with me answered me, "Don't you know
what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."
004:006 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, "This is the word
of Yahweh to Zerubbabel, saying, 'Not by might, nor by power,
but by my Spirit,' says Yahweh of Armies.
004:007 Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain;
and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of 'Grace,
grace, to it!'"
004:008 Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
004:009 "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house.
His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that Yahweh
of Armies has sent me to you.
004:010 Indeed, who despises the day of small things?
For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line
in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the eyes of Yahweh,
which run back and forth through the whole earth."
004:011 Then I asked him, "What are these two olive trees on the right
side of the lampstand and on the left side of it?"
