- Kapitel 6 -

1
And again I lifted up my eyes and saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze.
2
The first chariot had red horses, the second black horses,
3
the third white horses, and the fourth dappled horses—all of them strong.
4
So I inquired of the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5
And the angel told me, “These are the four spirits (a) of heaven, going forth from their station before the Lord of all the earth.
6
The one with the black horses is going toward the land of the north, the one with the white horses toward the west,(b) and the one with the dappled horses toward the south.”
7
As the strong horses went out, they were eager to go and patrol the earth; and the LORD said, “Go and patrol the earth.” So they patrolled the earth.
8
Then the LORD summoned me and said, “Behold, those going to the land of the north have given rest to My Spirit in the land of the north.”

The Crown and the Temple

9
The word of the LORD also came to me, saying,
10
“Take an offering from the exiles—from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, who have arrived from Babylon—and go that same day to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah.
11
Take silver and gold, make an ornate crown, and set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua son of Jehozadak.(c)
12
And you are to tell him that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Here is a man whose name is the Branch, and He will branch out from His place and build the temple of the LORD.
13
Yes, He will build the temple of the LORD; He will be clothed in splendor and will sit on His throne and rule. And He will be a priest on His throne,(d) and there will be peaceful counsel between the two.’
14
The crown will reside in the temple of the LORD as a memorial to Helem,(e) Tobijah, Jedaiah, and the gracious (f) son of Zephaniah.
15
Even those far away will come and build the temple of the LORD, and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me to you. This will happen if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.”

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 bronze.
2
In the first chariot were red horses. In the second chariot were black horses.
3
In the third chariot were white horses. In the fourth chariot were dappled horses, all of them powerful.
4
Then I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5
The angel answered me, “These are the four winds of the sky, which go out from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6
The one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went out toward the south country.”
7
The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth. He said, “Go around and through the earth!” So they walked back and forth through the earth.
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.”

The Crown and the Temple

9
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
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.
11
Yes, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
12
and speak to him, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies says, “Behold, the man whose name is the Branch! He will grow up out of his place; and he will build the LORD’s temple.
13
He will build the LORD’s temple. He will bear the glory, and will sit and rule on his throne. He will be a priest on his throne. The counsel of peace will be between them both.
14
The crowns shall be to Helem, to Tobijah, to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the LORD’s temple.
15
Those who are far off shall come and build in the LORD’s temple; and you shall know that the LORD of Armies has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey the LORD your God’s voice.”’”(a)
