Matthew Poole and continuators on Zechariah 3:4

4 And he answered , and spake unto those that stood before him , saying, Take away the filthy garments from him . And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee , and I will clothe thee with change of raiment .

The Lord Christ who purifieth his Church, who purgeth away her sin, and clothes her with rich and clean garments.

So the Heb. and so this Prophet speaks, though no question went before. It is an Idiom of that Language.

Commanded.

Some of the attendants, those Ministerial Angels, who were Christs Servants, and as such are represented standing before him.

Remove, or cause them to be removed, from him as altogether unbeseeming his Person, Office and employment; These filthy Garments those Angels took away, but another hand takes away what is signified by this Emblem.

From this High-priest Ioshua.

Christ the Lamb of God.

What Angels could not take away, Christ did, he removed the filth of Sin, the guilt and stain of it.

Adorn and beautifie.

O Ioshua.

Clean and Rich, Emblem of Graces, and spiritual Excellencies given to him.
