3:6-7 Lest the people become presumptuous on God’s gift of forgiveness, the angel of the Lord charged (or “admonished solemnly”) Joshua that obedience was a prerequisite if he were to enjoy God’s favor and perform his duties as high priest, including having access to God’s presence.
3:8-10 Not only was the priesthood restored and forgiveness granted, but a descendant of David would become their ruler, as indicated by my servant, the Branch, probably a reference to Zerubbabel (Hg 2:23; see notes at Zch 4:11-14; 6:12-13; cp. Jr 33:15). The same is true for the stone of Zch 3:9 (see Is 8:14; 28:16). Seven eyes probably evoked an image of a foundation stone for a sacred site.
