Zacharias (Zechariah) 6
6
1And I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and saw: and behold four chariots came out from the midst of two mountains: and the mountains were mountains of brass.
2In the first chariot were red horses, and in the second chariot black horses.
3And in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot grisled horses, and strong ones.
4And I answered, and said to the angel that spoke in me: What are these, my lord?
5And the angel answered, and said to me: These are the four winds of the heaven, which go forth to stand before the Lord of all the earth.
6That in which were the black horses went forth into the land of the north, and the white went forth after them: and the grisled went forth to the land of the south.
7And they that were most strong, went out, and sought to go, and to run to and fro through all the earth. And he said: Go, walk throughout the earth: and they walked throughout the earth.
8And he called me, and spoke to me, saying: Behold they that go forth into the land of the north, have quieted my spirit in the land of the north.
9And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
10Take of them of the captivity, of Holdai, and of Tobias, and of Idaias; thou shalt come in that day, and shalt go into the house of Josias, the son of Sophonias, who came out of Babylon.
11And thou shalt take gold and silver: and shalt make crowns, and thou shalt set them on the head of Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest.
12And thou shalt speak to him, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: BEHOLD A MAN, THE ORIENT IS HIS NAME: and under him shall he spring up, and shall build a temple to the Lord.
13Yea, he shall build a temple to 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 the crowns shall be to Helem, and Tobias, and Idaias, and to Hem, the son of Sophonias, a memorial in the temple of the Lord.
15And they that are far off, shall come and shall build in the temple of the Lord: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts sent me to you. But this shall come to pass, if hearing you will hear the voice of the Lord your 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.
