          DASV: Zechariah 6    

1 Again I lifted up my eyes and saw four chariots coming out
from between two mountains, mountains of bronze.
2 With the first chariot were red horses, and with the second
chariot black horses,
3 with the third chariot white horses, and with the fourth
chariot strong spotted horses.
4 Then I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these,
my lord?"
5 The angel replied, "These are the four spirits of heaven
going out after having stood before the Lord of all the earth."
6 The chariot with the black horses is going toward the north
country; and the white one is going toward the west; and the
spotted one is going toward the south country."
7 These strong steeds went forth eager to patrol throughout
the earth. Then he ordered, "Go patrol throughout the earth."
So they walked around patrolling the earth.
8 Then he cried out to me, "Look, those going toward the north
country have put my spirit at rest in the north country."

9 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
10 "Take from the exiles Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah who have
come from Babylon; and come the same day and enter the house
of Josiah the son of Zephaniah.
11 Take their silver and gold, and make a crown and set it on
the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest.
12 Tell him, 'This is what the LORD of hosts says, Look, here is
the man whose name is the Branch. He will branch out of his
place and will build the temple of the LORD.
13 Yes, he will be the one to build the temple of the LORD, and
he will bear the honor, and will sit on his throne and rule.
There will be a priest with him on his throne and there will
be perfect harmony between the two of them.'
14 Then the crown will be given to Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah,
and to Josiah the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the
temple of the LORD.
15 Those who are far off 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 occur, if you will diligently obey the voice of the
LORD your God."
