6. After this, the angel encouraged Joshua by telling him that the Lord All-Powerful had promised:
7. If you truly obey me, I will put you in charge of my temple, including the courtyard around it, and you will be allowed to speak at any time with the angels standing beside me.
8. Listen carefully, High Priest Joshua and all you other priests. You are a sign of things to come, because I am going to bring back my servant, the Chosen King.
9. Joshua, I have placed in front of you a stone with seven sides. I will engrave something on that stone, and in a single day I will forgive this guilty country.
10. Then each of you will live at peace and entertain your friends in your own vineyard and under your own fig trees.
