1 I looked up again and saw four war-wagons coming out from between the two mountains. The mountains were made of brass.

¶ And I turned and lifted up my eyes and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains, and those mountains were of brass.

2 T he first war-wagon had red horses. The second war-wagon had black horses.

In the first chariot were red horses and in the second chariot black horses;

3 T he third war-wagon had white horses, and the fourth war-wagon had strong horses with spots.

in the third chariot white horses and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.

4 T hen I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these, my lord?”

Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What is this, my lord?

5 T he angel said to me, “These are the four spirits of heaven, going away from standing before the Lord of All the earth.

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 T he war-wagon with the black horses is going toward the north country. The white ones follow them. And the horses with spots go toward the south country.

The one with the black horses went forth towards the north country, and the white went forth after them, and the grisled went forth toward the south country.

7 W hen the strong horses went out, they were in a hurry to look over all the earth.” And he said, “Go, look over all the earth.” So they went over the whole earth.

And the bay went forth and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth, and he said, Go from here; walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.

8 T hen he called to me, “See, those who are going to the land of the north have given My Spirit rest in the north country.” The Crown on Joshua

Then he called me and spoke unto me, saying, Behold, those that went toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.

9 T he Word of the Lord came to me saying,

¶ And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

10 “ Take the gifts from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, who have returned from Babylon. And go the same day to the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah.

Take of those of that returned from the captivity, of the lineage of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, and come thou the same day and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, whom are come from Babylon.

11 T ake the silver and gold and make a crown, and set it on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the head religious leader.

Thou shalt take silver and gold and make crowns and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest,

12 T hen tell him, ‘The Lord of All says, “See, the man whose name is the Branch, for He will branch out from where He is. And He will build the house of the Lord.

and speak unto him, saying, Thus spoke the LORD of the 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 Y es, He is the One Who will build the house of the Lord. He will be honored as King, and sit and rule on His throne. And He will be a religious leader on His throne, and there will be peace between the two.”’

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 T he crown will be in the Lord’s house, that people may remember Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Hen the son of Zephaniah.

And Helem and Tobijah and Jedaiah and Hen the son of Zephaniah shall have crowns for a memorial in the temple of the LORD.

15 T hose who are far away will come to build the house of the Lord. Then you will know that the Lord of All has sent me to you. This will happen if you are careful to obey the Lord your God.”

And those that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of the hosts has sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass if ye will obediently hear the voice of the LORD our God.
