At si Josue ay nakadamit ng maruruming kasuotan, at nakatayo sa harap ng anghel.
Rashi
was wearing filthy garments This is to be explained according to the Targum: He had sons who had married women who were unfit [to marry into] the priesthood, and he was punished because he did not interfere with the [sons’ marriages].
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“Joshua was clothed in filthy garments” [3:3]. Joshua had filthy clothes. That is to say, transgressions that are like stains on the person. Joshua did not warn his children about not marrying divorcees. The angel shouted at Joshua that he should remove the garments. God will forgive your transgressions and you will don beautiful garments.5Radak, Zechariah, 3:3.
