Zechariah 6 from Scroll 4Q80 Minor Prophetse 1 Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze. 2 In the first chariot were red horses; in the second chariot black horses; 3 in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled horses, all of them powerful. [..] 5 The angel answered me, These are the four winds of the sky, which go out from standing before the Lord of all the earth.

How to read these pages: The
translation to the left is based on the World English Bible. Words in regular
black font are words in the scrolls matching the traditional text for that
passage. Words
in italics cannot be seen in the scroll, since the scroll is
fragmentary. These words are supplied for readability by the World English
Bible translation. Words
present in the scroll but with some letters unreadable or missing are in blue
like this: blue. One Hebrew word often is
translated into multiple English words, and when this occurs, all the English
words are in blue. Words
present in the scroll but with spelling differences that do not affect the
meaning are in green like this: green. This
is common in Hebrew. If
the scroll is different from the traditional text, words in the traditional
text that are missing from the text of the scroll are marked through in red
like this: If the scroll is different from the traditional text, words in the scroll that are not in the traditional text are underlined in red like this: new words.
