1 A nd I turn back, and lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, four chariots are coming forth from between two of the mountains, and the mountains mountains of brass.

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

2 I n the first chariot red horses, and in the second chariot brown horses,

The first war-wagon had red horses. The second war-wagon had black horses.

3 a nd in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot strong grisled horses.

The third war-wagon had white horses, and the fourth war-wagon had strong horses with spots.

4 A nd I answer and say unto the messenger who is speaking with me, `What these, my lord?'

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

5 A nd the messenger answereth and saith unto me, `These four spirits of the heavens coming forth from presenting themselves before the Lord of the whole earth.

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

6 T he brown horses that therein, are coming forth unto the land of the north; and the white have come forth unto their hinder part; and the grisled have come forth unto the land of the south;

The 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.

7 a nd the strong ones have come forth, and they seek to go to walk up and down in the earth;' and he saith, `Go, walk up and down in the earth;' and they walk up and down in the earth.

When 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.

8 A nd he calleth me, and speaketh unto me, saying, `See, those coming forth unto the land of the north have caused My Spirit to rest in the land of the north.'

Then 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

9 A nd there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

The Word of the Lord came to me saying,

10 t o take of the captivity (who came from Babylon) from Heldai, from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah, `and thou hast come in -- thou, in that day, yea, thou hast come into the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah,

“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.

11 a nd thou hast taken silver and gold, and hast made a crown, and hast placed on the head of Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest,

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

12 a nd hast spoken unto him, saying: Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, saying: Lo, a man! A Shoot -- his name, And from his place he doth shoot up, And he hath built the temple of Jehovah.

Then 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.

13 Y ea, he doth build the temple of Jehovah, And he doth bear away honour, And he hath sat and ruled on His throne, And hath been a priest on His throne, And a counsel of peace is between both.

Yes, 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.”’

14 A nd the crown is to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah.

The crown will be in the Lord’s house, that people may remember Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Hen the son of Zephaniah.

15 A nd the far-off come in, and they have built in the temple of Jehovah, and ye have known that Jehovah of Hosts hath sent me unto you, yea, it hath come to pass, if ye do certainly hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God.'

Those 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.”
