# a brand pulled from the fire
A brand is a burning piece of wood. The angel of Yahweh speaks of Joshua being rescued from captivity in Babylon as if he were a piece of wood that someone pulls from a fire before the wood is completely burned. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
# Joshua was dressed in filthy garments
In this vision "filthy garments" are symbolic of sinfulness. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-symlanguage]])
