Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
וָאֹמַ֕ר
and,I_said
The pronoun I refers to Zechariah, who is interjecting into the vision. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [Then I, Zechariah, said]
Note 2 topic: translate-symaction
וַיָּשִׂימוּ֩ הַצָּנִ֨יף הַטָּה֜וֹר עַל־רֹאשׁ֗וֹ וַיַּלְבִּשֻׁ֨הוּ֙ בְּגָדִ֔ים
and,they_put the,turban (the),clean on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in his/its=head and,they,clothed_him garments
Setting a clean turban on Joshua’s head and clothing him with garments was a symbolic action by which the angels showed that Joshua was being restored to his priestly office. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text of your translation or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [they set the clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments, showing that Joshua was being restored to his priestly office]
Note 3 topic: writing-background
וּמַלְאַ֥ךְ יְהוָ֖ה עֹמֵֽד
and,the_angel_of YHWH standing_by
Zechariah is providing background information to help readers understand what happens next in the story. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
