John Trapp Complete Commentary - Zechariah 3:2

Zec 3:2 And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: [is] not this a brand plucked out of the fire? Ver. 2. And the Lord said unto Satan ] The Lord Christ that died, yea, rather that is risen again, who is even at the right hard of God, who also maketh intercessionfor us.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Zechariah 3:3

Zec 3:3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. Ver. 3. Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments ] The tattered rags of the old Adam, the nasty filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness that yet remained in him (though in part regenerate), and intermingled with his best works. Sin is the devil’s excrement; it defiles the soul worse than any jakes can do the body (as the Hebrew word here signifieth, and as our Saviour shows, Mar 7:20 ), or than the sanies of... read more

And he answered and spake to those that stood before him ] i.e. To the angels that waited upon him. Est autem hoc humanitus dictum, saith Junius.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Zechariah 3:5

Zec 3:5 And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by. Ver. 5. And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head ] Who said this? The prophet, grounding his speech on the last precious words of the angel, taketh the boldness to interpose his request for the bestowing of the priestly ornaments upon Joshua, and accordingly it is done. This the prophet knew would be a comfort to the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Zechariah 3:6

Zec 3:6 And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying, Ver. 6. And the angel of the Lord protested ] Either with an oath or some deep asseveration, or both as 1 Samuel 25:26 "As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth," &c. The former is an oath, the latter an asseveration or obtestation only, conjoined with that oath. Among the heathens Ex animo seu sententia was instead of an oath; and, rather than swear or say more, in a matter of no great moment, Chinias, the Pythagorean,... read more
