1. And I looked again, and lifted up mine eyes, and, hinei, there came arbah merkavot (four chariots) and they were coming out from between two harim (mountains); and the harim were harim of nechoshet (bronze).
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].
