Zechariah 3:4
Context3:4 The angel 1 spoke up to those standing all around, “Remove his filthy clothes.” Then he said to Joshua, “I have freely forgiven your iniquity and will dress you 2 in fine clothing.”
Zechariah 13:2
Context13:2 And also on that day,” says the Lord who rules over all, “I will remove 3 the names of the idols from the land and they will never again be remembered. Moreover, I will remove the prophets and the unclean spirit from the land.


[3:4] 1 tn Heb “and he”; the referent (the angel, cf. v. 1) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[3:4] 2 tn The occurrence of the infinitive absolute here for an expected imperfect 1st person common singular (or even imperative 2nd person masculine plural or preterite 3rd person masculine plural) is well-attested elsewhere. Most English translations render this as 1st person singular (“and I will clothe”), but cf. NAB “Take off…and clothe him.”
[13:2] 3 tn Heb “cut off” (so NRSV); NAB “destroy”; NIV “banish.”
