Zechariah 6
1¶ 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.
2In the first chariot were red horses and in the second chariot black horses;
3in the third chariot white horses and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.
4Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What is this, my lord?
5And 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.
6The 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.
7And 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.
8Then 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¶ And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
10Take 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.
11Thou shalt take silver and gold and make crowns and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest,
12and 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.
13He 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.
14And Helem and Tobijah and Jedaiah and Hen the son of Zephaniah shall have crowns for a memorial in the temple of the Lord.
15And 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.

Zecharyah 6
6
1And I looked again, and lifted up mine eyes, and, hinei, there came arbah merkavot (four chariots) and they were coming out from between two harim (mountains); and the harim were harim of nechoshet (bronze).
2In the merkavah harishonah were red-brown susim; and in the merkavah hashenit susim shechorim (black horses);
3And in the merkavah hashlishit susim levanim (white horses); and in the merkavah harevi'it speckled, powerful susim.
4Then I answered and said unto the malach that spoke with me, What are these, adoni?
5And the malach answered and said unto me, These are the arba ruchot HaShomayim, which go forth from standing before Adon Kol HaAretz.#6:5 T.N. See Mal 3:1 where Moshiach is referred to similarly
6The one with the susim shechorim (black horses) go forth toward the eretz tzafon (land of the north); and the levanim (white ones) go forth after them; and the speckled go forth toward the eretz hateyman (land of the south).
7And the powerful ones went forth, and strained to go around to and fro throughout ha'aretz; and He said, Get you hence, go to and fro throughout ha'aretz. So they went to and fro throughout ha'aretz.
8Then called He to me, and spoke unto me, saying, Look, these that go toward the eretz tzafon have given rest to My Ruach#6:8 HaKodesh in the eretz tzafon.
9And the Devar Hashem came unto me, saying,
10Take of them of the Golus, even of Cheldai, of Toviyah, and of Yedayah, which have arrived from Babylon, and thou go into the bais of Yoshiyah ben Tzephanyah;
11Then take kesef and zahav, and make atarot (crowns), and set them upon the rosh Yehoshua ben Yehotzadak, the Kohen HaGadol,
12And speak unto him, saying, Thus saith Hashem Tzva'os: Hinei Ish, TZEMACH Shmo;#6:12 Yehoshua is said to be the namesake of the coming Moshiach Ben Dovid; see Ezra 3:8 for the Aramaic translation of Yehoshuaʼs name, Yeshua; see Jer 23:5; 30:9; 33:15; Ezra 3:8; Zech 3:8; Mt 2:23; Isa 4:2; 9:2-7; 11:1-12; 53:2,11; Moshiach the new “Joshua” Isa 49:8 and out of his place yitzmach (he [Moshiach] shall sprout up),#6:12 Isa 53:2 and he shall build the Heikhal Hashem.
13It is he who shall build the Heikhal Hashem; and he shall carry hod (majesty), and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a kohen#6:13 Ps 110:4 upon his throne; and the atzat shalom (counsel of peace) shall be between them both.
14And the atarot (crowns) shall be to Chelem, and to Toviyah, and to Yedayah, and to Chen ben Tzephanyah, for a memorial in the Heikhal Hashem.
15And they that are far off shall come and build the Heikhal Hashem, and ye shall know that Hashem Tzva'os hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the kol (voice) Hashem Eloheichem.
