Dual Panel1Once more I looked <05375>, and this time I saw <07200> four <0702> chariots <04818> emerging <03318> from between <0996> two <08147> mountains <02022> <02022> <02022> of bronze <05178>.
2Harnessed to the first <07223> chariot <04818> were red <0122> horses <05483>, to the second <08145> black <07838> horses <05483>,
3to the third <07992> white <03836> horses <05483>, and to the fourth <07243> spotted <01261> horses <05483>, all of them strong <0554>.
4Then I asked <06030> the angelic messenger <04397> who was speaking <01696> with me, “What <04100> are these <0428>, sir <0113>?”
5The messenger <04397> replied <06030>, “These <0428> are the four <0702> spirits <07307> of heaven <08064> that have been presenting <03320> <03318> themselves before <05921> the Lord <0113> of all <03605> the earth <0776>.
6The chariot with the black <07838> horses <05483> is going <03318> to <0413> the north <06828> country <0776> and the white <03836> ones are going <03318> after <0310> them, but the spotted <01261> ones are going <03318> to <0413> the south <08486> country <0776>.
7All these strong ones <0554> are scattering <03318>; they have sought <01245> permission to go <01980> and walk <01980> about over the earth <0776>.” The Lord had said <0559>, “Go <01980>! Walk <01980> about over the earth <0776>!” So they are doing so.
8Then he cried out <02199> to <0413> me, “Look <07200>! The ones going <03318> to <0413> the northland <06828> <0776> have brought me peace <07307> <05117> about the northland <06828> <0776>.”
9The word <01697> of the Lord <03068> came <01961> to <0413> me as follows:
10“Choose <03947> some people from among the exiles <01473>, namely, Heldai <02469>, Tobijah <02900>, and Jedaiah <03048>, all of whom <0834> have come <0935> from Babylon <0894>, and when you <0859> have done so go <0935> to the house <01004> of Josiah <02977> son <01121> of Zephaniah <06846>.
11Then take <03947> some silver <03701> and gold <02091> to make <06213> a crown <05850> and set <07760> it on the head <07218> of Joshua <03091> son <01121> of Jehozadak <03087>, the high <01419> priest <03548>.
12Then say <0559> to <0413> him, ‘The Lord <03068> who rules over all <06635> says <0559>, “Look <02009>– here is the man <0376> whose name <08034> is Branch <06780>, who will sprout up <06779> from his place <08478> and build <01129> the temple <01964> of the Lord <03068>.
13Indeed, he <01931> will build <01129> the temple <01964> of the Lord <03068>, and he <01931> will be clothed <05375> in splendor <01935>, sitting <03427> as king <04910> on <05921> his throne <03678>. Moreover, there will be <01961> a priest <03548> with him on <05921> his throne <03678> and they <07965> <06098> will see eye to eye <08147> <0996> <01961> on everything.
14The crown <05850> will then be turned over to Helem <02494>, Tobijah <02900>, Jedaiah <03048>, and Hen <02581> son <01121> of Zephaniah <06846> as a memorial <02146> in the temple <01964> of the Lord <03068>.
15Then those who are far <07350> away will come <0935> and build <01129> the temple <01964> of the Lord <03068> so that you may know <03045> that <03588> the Lord <03068> who rules over all <06635> has sent <07971> me to <0413> you. This will all come to <01961> pass if <0518> you completely obey <08085> the voice <06963> of the Lord <03068> your God <0430>.”’”
