Zecharyah 6:4 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 6:4

Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with
me
After he had seen the chariots come out, and had observed the different colours of the horses in them: what [are] these, my lord?

Zecharyah 6:4 In-Context

2 In the merkavah harishonah were red-brown susim; and in the merkavah hashenit susim shechorim (black horses);

3 And in the merkavah hashlishit susim levanim (white horses); and in the merkavah harevi’it speckled, powerful susim.

4 Then I answered and said unto the malach that spoke with me, What are these, adoni?

5 And the malach answered and said unto me, These are the arba ruchot HaShomayim, which go forth from standing before Adon Kol HaAretz [T.N. See Malachi 3:1 where Moshiach is referred to similarly].

6 The one with the susim shechorim (black horses) go forth toward the eretz tzafon (land of the north); and the levanim (white ones) go forth after them; and the speckled go forth toward the eretz hateyman (land of the south).
