Zech 6
1
And again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came four chariots out
from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
2
In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
3
and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grizzled strong horses.
4
Then I answered and said to the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?
5
And the angel answered and said to me, These are the four winds of heaven, which go
forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6
[The chariot] wherein are the black horses goes forth toward the north country; and
the white went forth after them; and the grizzled went forth toward the south country.
7
And the strong went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through
the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they
walked to and fro through the earth.
8
Then cried he to me, and spoke to me, saying, Behold, they that go toward the north
country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
9
And the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
10
Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and come
you the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they
are come from Babylon;
11
yea, take [of them] silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of
Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
12
and speak to him, saying, Thus speaks YHWH of hosts, saying, Behold, the man whose
name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build the
temple of YHWH;
13
even he shall build the temple of YHWH; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit
and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne; and the counsel
of peace shall be between them both.
14
And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son
of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of YHWH.
15
And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of YHWH; and you shall
know that YHWH of hosts has sent me to you. And [this] shall come to pass, if you
will diligently obey the voice of YHWH your God.
