Zechariah 6

Four Chariots

Then I lifted up my eyes again and saw, and behold, ^afour chariots were coming forth from between the two mountains; and the mountains were bronze mountains. 2 With the first chariot were ^ared horses, with the second chariot ^bblack horses, 3 with the third chariot ^awhite horses, and with the fourth chariot ^bdappled horses—all of them mighty. 4 Then I answered and said to the angel who was speaking with me, “^aWhat are these, my lord?” 5 And the angel answered and said to me, “These are the ^afour spirits of heaven, going forth after standing before the Lord of all the earth, 6 with one of which the black horses are going forth to the ^anorth country; and the white ones go forth after them, and the dappled ones go forth to the ^bsouth country. 7 Now the mighty ones went out, and they sought to go to ¹^apatrol the earth.” And He said, “Go, ¹patrol the earth.” So they ²patrolled the earth. 8 Then He cried out to me and spoke to me saying, “See, those who are going to the land of the north have ^acaused My Spirit to have rest in the land of the north.”

The Crown and the Temple

9 And the ^aword of Yahweh came to me, saying, 10 “^aTake an offering from the exiles, from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah; and you come the same day and come into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon. 11 And take silver and gold, make an ornate ^acrown, and set it on the head of ^bJoshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest. 12 Then you will say to him, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “Behold, a man whose name is ¹^aBranch, and He will ²^bbranch out from where He is; and He will ^cbuild the temple of Yahweh. 13 Indeed, it is He who will build the temple of Yahweh, and He who will ^abear the splendor and sit and ^brule on His throne. Thus, He will be a ^cpriest on His throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the two ¹offices.”’ 14 Now the ^acrown will become a memorial in the temple of Yahweh to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and ¹Hen the son of Zephaniah. 15 ^aAnd those who are far off will come and ¹build the temple of Yahweh.” Then you will ^bknow that Yahweh of hosts has sent me to you. And it will happen if you utterly ^clisten to the voice of Yahweh your God.
