Zechariah 3 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Zec 3:1And the Lord shewed me Jesus the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and the [fn]Devil stood on his right hand to resist him. And the Lord said to the Devil,
Zec 3:2[fn] The Lord rebuke thee, O Devil, even the Lord that has chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: behold! is not this as a brand plucked from the fire?
Zec 3:3Now Jesus was clothed in [fn]filthy raiment, and stood before the angel.
Zec 3:4And the Lord answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy raiment from him: and he said to him, Behold, I have taken away thine iniquities: and clothe ye him with a [fn]long robe,
Zec 3:5and place a pure mitre upon his head. So they placed a pure mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments: and the angel of the Lord stood by.
Zec 3:6And the angel of the Lord testified to Jesus, saying,
Zec 3:7Thus saith the Lord Almighty; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and take heed to my charges, then shalt thou judge my house: and if thou wilt diligently keep my court, then will I give thee men to walk in the midst of these that stand here.
Zec 3:8Hear now, Jesus the high priest, thou, and thy neighbours that are sitting before thee: for they are diviners, for, behold, I bring forth my servant The [fn]Branch.
Zec 3:9For as for the stone which I have set before the face of Jesus, on the one stone are seven eyes: behold, I am digging a trench, saith the Lord Almighty, and I will search out all the iniquity of that land in one day.
Zec 3:10In that day, saith the Lord Almighty, ye shall call together every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig-tree.
