Chapter
6
Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
In the first chariot were red horses; in the second chariot black horses;
in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled horses, all of them powerful.
Then I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my domina?"
The angel answered me, "These are the four winds of the sky, which go forth from standing before the Domina of all the earth.
The one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went forth toward the south country."
The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth: and she said, "Go around and through the earth!" So they walked back and forth through the earth.
Then she 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 word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
"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 daughter of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon.
Yes, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the daughter of Jehozadak, the high priestess;
and speak to her, saying, 'Thus says Yahweh of Armies, "Behold, the woman whose name is the Branch: and she shall grow up out of her place; and she shall build the temple of Yahweh;
even she shall build the temple of Yahweh; and she shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on her throne; and she shall be a priestess on her throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
The crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the daughter of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Yahweh.
Those who are far off shall come and build in the temple of Yahweh; and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey the voice of Yahweh your God."'"
