Zechariah 6 :: Bible in Basic English (BBE)

The Four Chariots

Zec 6:1And again lifting up my eyes I saw four war-carriages coming out from between the two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.

Zec 6:2

Zec 6:2In the first war-carriage were red horses; and in the second, black horses;

Zec 6:3

Zec 6:3And in the third, white horses; and in the fourth, horses of mixed colour.

Zec 6:4

Zec 6:4And I made answer and said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these, my lord?

Zec 6:5

Zec 6:5And the angel, answering, said to me, These go out to the four winds of heaven from their place before the Lord of all the earth.

Zec 6:6

Zec 6:6The carriage in which are the black horses goes in the direction of the north country; the white go to the west; and those of mixed colour go in the direction of the south country.

Zec 6:7

Zec 6:7And the red ones go to the east; and they made request that they might go up and down through the earth: and he said, Go up and down through the earth. So they went up and down through the earth.

Zec 6:8

Zec 6:8Then crying out to me, he said, See, those who are going to the north country have given rest to the spirit of the Lord in the north country.

Zec 6:9

Zec 6:9And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Zec 6:10

Zec 6:10Take the offerings of those who went away as prisoners, from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, and from the family of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah, who have come from Babylon;

The Symbolic Crowns

Zec 6:11

Zec 6:11And take silver and gold and make a crown and put it on the head of Zerubbabel;

Zec 6:12

Zec 6:12And say to him, These are the words of the Lord of armies: See, the man whose name is the Branch, under whom there will be fertile growth.

Zec 6:13

Zec 6:13And he will be the builder of the Temple of the Lord; and the glory will be his, and he will take his place as ruler on the seat of power; and Joshua will be a priest at his right hand, and between them there will be a design of peace.

Zec 6:14

Zec 6:14And the crown will be for grace to Heldai and Tobijah and Jedaiah and the son of Zephaniah, to keep their memory living in the house of the Lord.

Zec 6:15

Zec 6:15And those who are far away will come and be builders in the Temple of the Lord, and it will be clear to you that the Lord of armies has sent me to you.
