Zechariah 6
1 And I turned, and I lifted up my eyes and I saw. And behold, four four-horse chariots went out from the middle of two mountains. And the mountains were mountains of brass.
Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.
2 In the first chariot were red horses, and in the second chariot were black horses,
In the first chariot were red horses; in the second chariot black horses;
3 and in the third chariot were white horses, and in the fourth chariot were speckled horses, and they were strong.
in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled horses, all of them powerful.
4 And I responded and said to the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these, my lord?”
Then I asked the angel who 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 to stand in the presence of the Sovereign of all the earth.”
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 The one with the black horses was departing into the land of the North, and the white went forth after them, and the speckled went forth towards the land of the South.
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."
7 Yet those who were the most strong, went out, and sought to go and to roam quickly through all the earth. And he said, “Go, walk throughout the earth.” And they walked throughout the earth.
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.
8 And he called me and spoke with me, saying, “Behold, those who go forth to the land of the North, have quieted my spirit in the land of the North.”
Then he called to me, and spoke to me, saying, "Look, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country."
9 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
The word of YHWH came to me, saying,
10 From those of the captivity, take from Heldai, and from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah. You will approach in that day, and you will go into the house of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah, who came from Babylon.
"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.
11 And you will take gold and silver; and you will make crowns, and you will set them on the head of Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest.
Take silver and gold, and make a crown, and set it on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
12 And you will speak to him, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts, saying: Behold, a man; the Rising is his name. And under him, he will rise up, and he will build a temple to the Lord.
and speak to him, saying, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts, "Look, 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 And he will raise a temple to the Lord. And he will carry the glory, and he will sit and rule upon his throne. And he will be a priest upon his throne, and a counsel of peace will be between the two of them.
even he shall build the temple of YHWH; 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.
14 And the crowns will be to Heldai, and Tobijah, and Jedaiah, as well as to Hem, the son of Zephaniah, as a memorial in the temple of the Lord.
And the crown shall be to Heldai, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Josiah the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of YHWH.
15 And those who are far away, will approach, and will build in the temple of the Lord. And you will know that the Lord of hosts sent me to you. Yet this shall be only if, when hearing, you will have heeded the voice of the Lord your God.
Those who 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. This will happen, if you will diligently obey the voice of YHWH your God."'"
