Clean Garments for Joshua the High Priest

1And he sheweth me Joshua the high priest standing before the messenger of Jehovah, and the Adversary standing at his right hand, to be an adversary to him. 2And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary: 'Jehovah doth push against thee, O Adversary, Yea, push against thee doth Jehovah, Who is fixing on Jerusalem, Is not this a brand delivered from fire?' 3And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and is standing before the messenger. 4And he answereth and speaketh unto those standing before him, saying: 'Turn aside the filthy garments from off him.'
