The Man Among the Myrtle Trees

⁷ On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berekiah, the son of Iddo.^(A)

⁸ During the night I had a vision, and there before me was a man mounted on a red^(A) horse. He was standing among the myrtle trees in a ravine. Behind him were red, brown and white horses.^(B)

³ the third white,^(A) and the fourth dappled—all of them powerful.

⁶ The one with the black horses is going toward the north country, the one with the white horses toward the west,^[a] and the one with the dappled horses toward the south.”
