"And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by."
In the first reading of this verse, one might be led to suppose that Zechariah is the speaker. And I said, let them set a fair mitre upon his head. But Zechariah is a spectator, not an actor, in this wonderful vision. The command here given when Joshua was made clean, and fitted by Christ himself for the priestly office, must have been the Lord. And this is most agreeable to the general sense of the covenant. It is Jesus who makes his people Kings and Priests unto God and the Father. Revelation 1:6.
