Zechariah Chapter 6 Back Next{6:1} Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four
chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of
brass.
{6:2} In the first chariot were red
horses; in the second chariot black horses;
{6:3} in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled horses, all of them powerful.
{6:4} Then I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"
{6:5} The angel answered me, "These are the four winds of the sky, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the
earth.
{6:6} The one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went forth toward the south country."
{6:7} The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth: and he said, "Go around and through the earth!" So they walked back and forth through the earth.
{6:8} Then he called to me, and spoke to me, saying, "Behold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country."
{6:9} The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
{6:10} "Take of them of the
captivity, even of
Heldai, of Tobijah, and of
Jedaiah; and come the same day, and go into the house of
Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from
Babylon.
{6:11} Yes, take silver and
gold, and make
crowns, and set them on the head of
Joshua the son of
Jehozadak, the
high priest;
{6:12} and speak to him, saying, 'Thus says Yahweh of Armies, "Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build Yahweh's temple;
{6:13} even he shall build Yahweh's temple; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on his throne; and he shall be a priest on his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
{6:14} The crowns shall be to
Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in Yahweh's temple.
{6:15} Those who are far off shall come and build in Yahweh's temple; and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey the voice of Yahweh your
God."'"
