And the priests answered and said, No. 13 Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean. 14 Then answered Haggai, and said, " So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.

AND I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, AN and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass. 2 In the first chariot were red horses; 18 and in the second chariot black horses; 3 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses. 4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord? 5 And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the F** heavens, which go forth from 37 standing before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country. 7 And the B bay went forth. and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth. 4 8 Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country. 9 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 10 Take of them of the captivity, eren of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thea the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah; 11 5 Then take 5 silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the al head of B Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest; 12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name 18 The m BRANCH6; and he shall grow up Soo Lake " VAR.
