Zechariah 6
1 And I returned and I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! four chariots [were] coming forth from between [the] two the mountains and the mountains [were] mountains of bronze.
And again I lifted up my eyes and saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze.
2 [were] with the Chariot first horses red and [were] with the chariot second horses black.
The first chariot had red horses, the second black horses,
3 And [were] with the chariot third horses white and [were] with the chariot fourth horses dappled strong.
the third white horses, and the fourth dappled horses—all of them strong.
4 And I answered and I said to the angel who was speaking with me what? [are] these O lord my.
So I inquired of the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 And he answered the angel and he said to me these [are] [the] four [the] winds of the heavens going forth from when presented themselves on [the] lord of all the earth.
And the angel told me, “These are the four spirits of heaven, going forth from their station before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Which with it the horses black [are] going out to [the] land of [the] north and the white [horses] they have gone out to after them and the dappled [horses] they have gone out to [the] land of the south.
The one with the black horses is going toward the land of the north, the one with the white horses toward the west, and the one with the dappled horses toward the south.”
7 And the strong [horses] they have gone out and they have sought to go to go about on the earth and he said go go about on the earth and they went about on the earth.
As the strong horses went out, they were eager to go and patrol the earth; and the LORD said, “Go and patrol the earth.” So they patrolled the earth.
8 And he called out to with me and he spoke to me saying see those [which] are going out to [the] land of [the] north they have caused to rest spirit my in [the] land of [the] north.
Then the LORD summoned me and said, “Behold, those going to the land of the north have given rest to My Spirit in the land of the north.”
9 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
The word of the LORD also came to me, saying,
10 Take from with the exile[s] from Heldai and from with Tobiah and from with Jedaiah and you will go you on the day that and you will go [the] house Josiah [the] son of Zephaniah who they have come from Babylon.
“Take an offering from the exiles—from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, who have arrived from Babylon—and go that same day to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah.
11 And you will take silver and gold and you will make a crown and you will put [it] on [the] head of Joshua [the] son of Jehozadak the priest great.
Take silver and gold, make an ornate crown, and set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua son of Jehozadak.
12 And you will say to him saying thus he says Yahweh of hosts saying there! a man [is] Branch name his and from under him he will sprout and he will build [the] temple of Yahweh.
And you are to tell him that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Here is a man whose name is the Branch, and He will branch out from His place and build the temple of the LORD.
13 And he he will build [the] temple of Yahweh and he he will bear majesty and he will sit and he will rule on throne his and he will be a priest on throne his and a counsel of peace it will be between [the] two of them.
Yes, He will build the temple of the LORD; He will be clothed in splendor and will sit on His throne and rule. And He will be a priest on His throne, and there will be peaceful counsel between the two.’
14 And the crown it will be to Helem and to Tobiah and to Jedaiah and to Hen [the] son of Zephaniah to a memorial in [the] temple of Yahweh.
The crown will reside in the temple of the LORD as a memorial to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and the gracious son of Zephaniah.
15 And distant [ones] - they will come and they will build [the] temple of Yahweh and you will know that Yahweh of hosts he has sent me to you and it will be certainly [if] you will listen! to [the] voice of Yahweh God your.
Even those far away will come and build the temple of the LORD, and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me to you. This will happen if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.”
