Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Zechariah 3:4

_ _ those that stood before him — the ministering angels (compare the phrase in 1 Kings 10:8; Daniel 1:5).

_ _ Take away the filthy garments — In Zechariah 3:9 it is “remove the iniquity of that land”; therefore Joshua represents the land.

_ _ from him — literally, “from upon him”; pressing upon him as an overwhelming burden.

_ _ change of raiment — festal robes of the high priest, most costly and gorgeous; symbol of Messiah’s imputed righteousness (Matthew 22:11). The restoration of the glory of the priesthood is implied: first, partially, at the completion of the second temple; fully realized in the great High Priest Jesus, whose name is identical with Joshua (Hebrews 4:8), the Representative of Israel, the “kingdom of priests” (Exodus 19:6); once clad in the filthy garments of our vileness, but being the chosen of the Father (Isaiah 42:1; Isaiah 44:1; Isaiah 49:1-3), He hath by death ceased from sin, and in garments of glory entered the heavenly holy place as our High Priest (Hebrews 8:1; Hebrews 9:24). Then, as the consequence (1 Peter 2:5), realized in the Church generally (Luke 15:22; Revelation 19:8), and in Israel in particular (Isaiah 61:10; compare Isaiah 3:6; Isaiah 66:21).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Zechariah 3:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Zechariah 3:4

And he — Christ. Unto those — Ministerial angels. I have caused — What angels could not take away, Christ did; he removed the filth of sin, the guilt and stain of it. With change of raiment — Clean and rich, the emblem of holiness.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Zechariah 3:4

And he answered and spoke to those that stood before him, saying, Take away the (e) filthy garments from him. And to him he said, Behold, I have (f) caused thy iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.

(e) See Zechariah 3:3

(f) He shows of what apparel he speaks, which is, when our filthy sins are taken away, and we are clothed with God's mercies, which refers to the spiritual restitution.
