Zechariah 3:1-2 Samuel : . The Trial of Joshua.— Several corrections are necessary in this paragraph, some of which are confirmed by the LXX. In Zechariah 3:2 read, “ And the angel of the Lord said.” In Zechariah 3:4 f. read with LXX, “ Take the filthy garments from off him (And he said unto him, Behold I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee); and clothe him with rich apparel, and set a fair mitre,” etc. In Zechariah 3:8 we should probably read, “ Thou and thy fellows which sit... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Zechariah 3:1

And he; the Lord of hosts, whose servant Zechariah was, and in whose name he spake. Showed me; in vision represented to me, Zechariah. Joshua the high priest; for that office was by hereditary right descended on him, and how mean soever his state was, yet still he was that great officer of the church.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Zechariah 3:1

Zechariah 3:1 The vision of Zechariah appears to us in its secondary and broader interpretation to be a solemn picture of what is now going on in the Church of Christ. We may trace its reality in the dispensation of the Gospel. I. Our first illustration of the text will be taken from the manifestation of Christ to the Gentile world. The visit of the three wise men from lands beyond the limits of Israel, and the acceptance of their offerings and homage, was a type of the drawing into Christ not... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Zechariah 3:1

Joshua The fifth vision discloses: (1) The change from self-righteousness to the righteousness of God (See Scofield " :-") of which Paul's experience, Philippians 3:1-9 is the illustration, as it is also the foreshadowing of the conversion of Israel. (2) In type, the preparation of Israel for receiving Jehovah's "BRANCH" (See Scofield " :-") . The refusal of the Jews to abandon self-righteousness for the righteousness of God blinded them to the presence of the BRANCH in their midst at His first... read more
