2 With the first chariot were ^ared horses, with the second chariot ^bblack horses,  ‡

3 with the third chariot white horses, and with the fourth chariot dappled horses—strong steeds.

5 And the angel answered and said to me, ^a“These are four spirits of heaven, who go out from their ^bstation before the Lord of all the earth.  ‡

6 The one with the black horses is going to ^athe north country, the white are going after them, and the dappled are going toward the south country.”  ‡
