¹The angel who talked with me came again and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.

KJVAnd the angel^H4397 that talked^H1696^(H8802) with me came again^H7725^(H8799), and waked^H5782^(H8686) me, as a man^H376 that is wakened^H5782^(H8735) out of his sleep^H8142,

² He said to me, “What do you see?” I said, “I have seen, and behold, a lamp stand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps on it; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps which are on the top of it;

KJVAnd said^H559^(H8799) unto me, What seest^H7200^(H8802) thou? And I said^H559^(H8799), I have looked^H7200^(H8804), and behold a candlestick^H4501 all of gold^H2091, with a bowl^H1531 upon the top^H7218 of it, and his seven^H7651 lamps^H5216 thereon, and seven^H7651 pipes^H4166 to the seven^H7651 lamps^H5216, which are upon the top^H7218 thereof:

³ and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it.”

KJVAnd two^H8147 olive trees^H2132 by it, one^H259 upon the right^H3225 side of the bowl^H1543, and the other^H259 upon the left^H8040 side thereof.

⁴ I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”

KJVSo I answered^H6030^(H8799) and spake^H559^(H8799) to the angel^H4397 that talked^H1696^(H8802) with me, saying^H559^(H8800), What are these, my lord^H113?

⁵ Then the angel who talked with me answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”

KJVThen the angel^H4397 that talked^H1696^(H8802) with me answered^H6030^(H8799) and said^H559^(H8799) unto me, Knowest^H3045^(H8804) thou not what these be? And I said^H559^(H8799), No, my lord^H113.

⁶ Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, “This is Yahweh’s word to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says Yahweh of Armies.

KJVThen he answered^H6030^(H8799) and spake^H559^(H8799) unto me, saying^H559^(H8800), This is the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 unto Zerubbabel^H2216, saying^H559^(H8800), Not by might^H2428, nor by power^H3581, but by my spirit^H7307, saith^H559^(H8804) the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635.

⁷ 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!’”

KJVWho art thou, O great^H1419 mountain^H2022? before^H6440 Zerubbabel^H2216 thou shalt become a plain^H4334: and he shall bring forth^H3318^(H8689) the headstone^H68^H7222 thereof with shoutings^H8663, crying, Grace^H2580, grace^H2580 unto it.

⁸ Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

KJVMoreover the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me, saying^H559^(H8800),

⁹ “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.

KJVThe hands^H3027 of Zerubbabel^H2216 have laid the foundation^H3245^(H8765) of this house^H1004; his hands^H3027 shall also finish^H1214^(H8762) it; and thou shalt know^H3045^(H8804) that the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635 hath sent^H7971^(H8804) me unto you.

¹⁰ 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 Yahweh’s eyes, which run back and forth through the whole earth.”

KJVFor who hath despised^H936^(H8804) the day^H3117 of small things^H6996? for they shall rejoice^H8055^(H8804), and shall see^H7200^(H8804) the plummet^H68^H913 in the hand^H3027 of Zerubbabel^H2216 with those seven^H7651; they are the eyes^H5869 of the LORD^H3068, which run to and fro^H7751^(H8789) through the whole earth^H776.

¹¹ Then I asked him, “What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lamp stand and on the left side of it?”

KJVThen answered^H6030^(H8799) I, and said^H559^(H8799) unto him, What are these two^H8147 olive trees^H2132 upon the right^H3225 side of the candlestick^H4501 and upon the left^H8040 side thereof?

¹² I asked him the second time, “What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts that pour the golden oil out of themselves?”

KJVAnd I answered^H6030^(H8799) again^H8145, and said^H559^(H8799) unto him, What be these two^H8147 olive^H2132 branches^H7641 which through^H3027 the two^H8147 golden^H2091 pipes^H6804 empty^H7324^(H8688) the golden^H2091 oil out of themselves?

¹³ He answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”

KJVAnd he answered^H559^(H8799) me and said^H559^(H8800), Knowest^H3045^(H8804) thou not what these be? And I said^H559^(H8799), No, my lord^H113.

¹⁴ Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”

KJVThen said^H559^(H8799) he, These are the two^H8147 anointed^H3323 ones^H1121, that stand^H5975^(H8802) by the Lord^H113 of the whole earth^H776.

WEB·Zechariah 3

¹He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before Yahweh’s angel, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.

KJVAnd he shewed^H7200^(H8686) me Joshua^H3091 the high^H1419 priest^H3548 standing^H5975^(H8802) before^H6440 the angel^H4397 of the LORD^H3068, and Satan^H7854 standing^H5975^(H8802) at his right hand^H3225 to resist^H7853^(H8800) him.

² Yahweh said to Satan, “Yahweh rebuke you, Satan! Yes, Yahweh who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?”

KJVAnd the LORD^H3068 said^H559^(H8799) unto Satan^H7854, The LORD^H3068 rebuke^H1605^(H8799) thee, O Satan^H7854; even the LORD^H3068 that hath chosen^H977^(H8802) Jerusalem^H3389 rebuke^H1605^(H8799) thee: is not this a brand^H181 plucked^H5337^(H8716) out of the fire^H784?

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

KJVNow Joshua^H3091 was clothed^H3847^(H8803) with filthy^H6674 garments^H899, and stood^H5975^(H8802) before^H6440 the angel^H4397.

⁴ He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, “Take the filthy garments off him.” To him he said, “Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing.”

KJVAnd he answered^H6030^(H8799) and spake^H559^(H8799) unto those that stood^H5975^(H8802) before^H6440 him, saying^H559^(H8800), Take away^H5493^(H8685) the filthy^H6674 garments^H899 from him. And unto him he said^H559^(H8799), Behold^H7200^(H8798), I have caused thine iniquity^H5771 to pass^H5674^(H8689) from thee, and I will clothe^H3847^(H8687) thee with change of raiment^H4254.

⁵ I said, “Let them set a clean turban on his head.” So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him; and Yahweh’s angel was standing by.

KJVAnd I said^H559^(H8799), Let them set^H7760^(H8799) a fair^H2889 mitre^H6797 upon his head^H7218. So they set^H7760^(H8799) a fair^H2889 mitre^H6797 upon his head^H7218, and clothed^H3847^(H8686) him with garments^H899. And the angel^H4397 of the LORD^H3068 stood by^H5975^(H8802).

⁶ Yahweh’s angel solemnly assured Joshua, saying,

KJVAnd the angel^H4397 of the LORD^H3068 protested^H5749^(H8686) unto Joshua^H3091, saying^H559^(H8800),

⁷ “Yahweh of Armies says: ‘If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, 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.

KJVThus saith^H559^(H8804) the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635; If thou wilt walk^H3212^(H8799) in my ways^H1870, and if thou wilt keep^H8104^(H8799) my charge^H4931, then thou shalt also judge^H1777^(H8799) my house^H1004, and shalt also keep^H8104^(H8799) my courts^H2691, and I will give^H5414^(H8804) thee places to walk^H4108^(H8688) among these that stand by^H5975^(H8802).

⁸ 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 out my servant, the Branch.

KJVHear^H8085^(H8798) now, O Joshua^H3091 the high^H1419 priest^H3548, thou, and thy fellows^H7453 that sit^H3427^(H8802) before^H6440 thee: for they are men^H582 wondered at^H4159: for, behold, I will bring forth^H935^(H8688) my servant^H5650 the BRANCH^H6780.

⁹ For, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua: on one stone are seven eyes; behold, I will engrave its inscription,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

KJVFor behold the stone^H68 that I have laid^H5414^(H8804) before^H6440 Joshua^H3091; upon one^H259 stone^H68 shall be seven^H7651 eyes^H5869: behold, I will engrave^H6605^(H8764) the graving^H6603 thereof, saith^H5002^(H8803) the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, and I will remove^H4185^(H8804) the iniquity^H5771 of that land^H776 in one^H259 day^H3117.

¹⁰ In that day,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘you will invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.’”

KJVIn that day^H3117, saith^H5002^(H8803) the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, shall ye call^H7121^(H8799) every man^H376 his neighbour^H7453 under the vine^H1612 and under the fig tree^H8384.
