Joshua the high priest stands before the Angel of the LORD in filthy garments while Satan accuses him; the LORD rebukes Satan, calling Joshua a brand plucked from the fire. Joshua's filthy clothes are removed and replaced with rich apparel and a clean turban, symbolizing iniquity removed. God promises to bring forth His servant the Branch and remove the land's iniquity in a single day.
