KJV translation of a term referring to horses in Zechariah 6:3 ,Zechariah 6:3,6:7 . The KJV took the term as referring to the color of the horses. The earliest translators had trouble with the word as do modern versions. Recent interpreters take the Hebrew word as referring to the strength of the horses (NIV, NAS), though NRSV reads “gray” in Zechariah 6:3 and “steeds” in Zechariah 6:7 , while REB omits the word in Zechariah 6:3 and emends the text in Zechariah 6:7 .
