“1 And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, 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 grisled and bay horses.
4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What
[are] these, my lord? 5 And the angel answered and said unto me, These
[are] the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing
before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The black horses which [are] therein
go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and
the grisled go forth toward the south country. 7 And the bay 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 upon me, and spake
unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have
quieted my spirit in the north country.”
“9 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 10 Take of [them of]
the captivity, [even] of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are
come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of
Josiah the son of Zephaniah; 11 Then take silver and gold, and make
crowns, and set [them] upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the
high priest; 12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD 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 the LORD: 13
Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; 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 the LORD. 15 And
they [that are] far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD,
and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And
[this] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the
LORD your God.” (Zechariah 6:1-15 AV)
