1 And again my eyes lifted up and looked, and, behold, four chariots were coming from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze. 2 With the first chariot were red horses, and with the second chariot black horses, 3 and with the third chariot white horses, and with the fourth dappled and strong colored horses. 4 And I answered and said to the angel who was talking with me, What are these, my lord? 5 And the angel answered and said to me, These are the four spirits of Heaven who go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The black horses in it go into the north country, and the white go after them; and the dappled ones go toward the south country. 7 And the strong colored ones went forth and sought to go, to walk to and fro in the earth. And he said, Go! Walk to and fro in the earth. So they walked to and fro in the earth. 8 And he cried out to me, and spoke to me, saying, Behold, these who go toward the north country have caused My Spirit to rest in the north country.
