Zechariah 3 has a vision of Joshua the High Priest standing before the angel of the Lord while Satan is near at hand to accuse him. "The Lord said to Satan - the Lord rebuke you Satan!" Joshua was wearing filthy clothes so the angel ordered their removal. "See, I have taken away your sin, said the angel, and I will put rich garments on you". Then they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him. And the angel said "walk in my ways and keep my requirements and you will govern my house". Then he said "I am going to bring my servant, the Branch... and I will remove the sin of the land in a single day". Thus was symbolized the renewal of the priesthood post exile.
