Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Joshua was so here, for the law made men priests that had infirmity, Heb. vii. And, as to both, we have relief from Jesus Christ, who is made of God to us both righteousness and sanctification. Joshua is accused as a criminal, but is justified.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Antitypically, the (foundation) stone alluded to is Christ, before called "the Branch."
