Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Zechariah 3:5

_ _ And I said — Here the prophet, rejoicing at the change of raiment so far made, interposes to ask for the crowning assurance that the priesthood would be fully restored, namely, the putting the miter or priestly turban on Joshua: its fair color symbolizing the official purity of the order restored. He does not command, but prays; not “Set,” but “Let them set.” Vulgate and Syriac version read it, “He then said,” which is the easier reading; but the very difficulty of the present Hebrew reading makes it less likely to come from a modern corrector of the text.

_ _ angel of ... Lord stood by — the Divine Angel had been sitting (the posture of a judge, Daniel 7:9); now He “stands” to see that Zechariah’s prayer be executed, and then to give the charge (Zechariah 3:6, Zechariah 3:7).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Zechariah 3:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Zechariah 3:5

I said — Zechariah takes the boldness to desire that for Joshua, which might add to his authority, and he asks the thing of Christ. A fair mitre — The proper ornament for the head of the high — priest. With garments — All the garments which appertained to the high priest. The angel — Christ.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Zechariah 3:5

And I said, Let them (g) set a clean mitre upon his head. So they set a clean mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.

(g) The Prophet prays that besides the raiment, the Priest might also have attire for his head accordingly, that is, that the dignity of the priesthood might be perfect: and this was fulfilled in Christ, who was both Priest and King. And here all those are condemned, that can content themselves with any average reformation in religion, seeing the Prophet desires the perfection, and obtains it.
