Zechariah 3:3

Context
3:3 Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes 1  as he stood there before the angel.

Zechariah 7:6

Context
7:6 And now when you eat and drink, are you not doing so for yourselves?’”

1 sn The Hebrew word צוֹאִים (tsoim) means “excrement.” This disgusting figure of speech suggests Joshua’s absolute disqualification for priestly service in the flesh, but v. 2 speaks of his having been rescued from that deplorable state by God’s grace. He is like a burning stick pulled out of the fire before it is consumed. This is a picture of cleansing, saving grace.
