6 Revised Standard Version Passage Biblia Hebraica

6 1And again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.The vision of the chariots. Zch.6.1-8וָאָשֻׁב וָאֶשָּׂא עֵינַי וָאֶרְאֶה וְהִנֵּה אַרְבַּע מַרְכָּבֹות יֹצְאֹות מִבֵּין שְׁנֵי הֶהָרִים וְהֶהָרִים הָרֵי נְחֹשֶׁת׃
2The first chariot had red horses, the second black horses, בַּמֶּרְכָּבָה הָרִאשֹׁנָה סוּסִים אֲדֻמִּים וּבַמֶּרְכָּבָה הַשֵּׁנִית סוּסִים שְׁחֹרִים׃
3the third white horses, and the fourth chariot dappled gray horses. וּבַמֶּרְכָּבָה הַשְּׁלִשִׁית סוּסִים לְבָנִים וּבַמֶּרְכָּבָה הָרְבִעִית סוּסִים בְּרֻדִּים אֲמֻצִּים׃
4Then I said to the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?" וָאַעַן וָאֹמַר אֶל־הַמַּלְאָךְ הַדֹּבֵר בִּי מָה־אֵלֶּה אֲדֹנִי׃
5And the angel answered me, "These are going forth to the four winds of heaven, after presenting themselves before the LORD of all the earth. וַיַּעַן הַמַּלְאָךְ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָי אֵלֶּה אַרְבַּע רֻחֹות הַשָּׁמַיִם יֹוצְאֹות מֵהִתְיַצֵּב עַל־אֲדֹון כָּל־הָאָרֶץ׃
6The chariot with the black horses goes toward the north country, the white ones go toward the west country, and the dappled ones go toward the south country." אֲשֶׁר־בָּהּ הַסּוּסִים הַשְּׁחֹרִים יֹצְאִים אֶל־אֶרֶץ צָפֹון וְהַלְּבָנִים יָצְאוּ אֶל־אַחֲרֵיהֶם וְהַבְּרֻדִּים יָצְאוּ אֶל־אֶרֶץ הַתֵּימָן׃
7When the steeds came out, they were impatient to get off and patrol the earth. And he said, "Go, patrol the earth." So they patrolled the earth. וְהָאֲמֻצִּים יָצְאוּ וַיְבַקְשׁוּ לָלֶכֶת לְהִתְהַלֵּךְ בָּאָרֶץ וַיֹּאמֶר לְכוּ הִתְהַלְּכוּ בָאָרֶץ וַתִּתְהַלַּכְנָה בָּאָרֶץ׃
8Then he cried to me, "Behold, those who go toward the north country have set my Spirit at rest in the north country." וַיַּזְעֵק אֹתִי וַיְדַבֵּר אֵלַי לֵאמֹר רְאֵה הַיֹּוצְאִים אֶל־אֶרֶץ צָפֹון הֵנִיחוּ אֶת־רוּחִי בְּאֶרֶץ צָפֹון׃ ס
