- I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.
- Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
- And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.

- 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.
- During the night I had a vision--and there before me was a man riding a red horse! He was standing among the myrtle trees in a ravine. Behind him were red, brown and white horses.
- I asked, "What are these, my lord?" The angel who was talking with me answered, "I will show you what they are."
- Then the man standing among the myrtle trees explained, "They are the ones the LORD has sent to go throughout the earth."
