| |
| | Zec 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.
| |
| | Zec 6:2 | In the first chariot were red horses; in the second chariot black horses;
| |
| | Zec 6:3 | in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled horses, all of them powerful.
| |
| | Zec 6:4 | Then I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"
| |
| | Zec 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.
| |
| | Zec 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."
| |
| | Zec 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.
| |
| | Zec 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."
| |
| | Zec 6:9 | The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
| |
| | Zec 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.
| |
| | Zec 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;
| |
| | Zec 6:12 | and speak to him, saying, 'Thus says Yahweh of Hosts, "Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build the temple of Yahweh;
| |
| | Zec 6:13 | even he shall build the temple of Yahweh; 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.
| |
| | Zec 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 the temple of Yahweh.
| |
| | Zec 6:15 | Those who are far off shall come and build in the temple of Yahweh; and you shall know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey the voice of Yahweh your God."'"
