1 Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains. And the mountains were mountains of bronze. 2 The first chariot had ^ered horses, the second ^fblack horses, 3 the third ^gwhite horses, and the fourth chariot ^hdappled horses—all of them strong.¹ 4 Then I answered and said to the ⁱangel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?” 5 And the angel answered and said to me, “These are going out to the ^jfour winds of heaven,² after presenting themselves before the ^kLord of all the earth. 6 The chariot with the black horses goes toward the north country, the white ones go after them, and the dappled ones go toward the south country.” 7 When the strong horses came out, they were impatient to go and ^lpatrol the earth. And he said, “Go, patrol the earth.” So they patrolled the earth. 8 Then he cried to me, “Behold, those who go toward the north country have set my Spirit at rest in the north country.”
