¹¹ As they were going along and talking, behold, there appeared ^(A)a chariot of fire and horses of fire which separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a ^[a]whirlwind to heaven.

The Four Chariots

6 Now I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold, ^(A)four chariots were coming forth from between the two mountains; and the mountains were bronze mountains. ² With the first chariot were ^(B)red horses, with the second chariot ^(C)black horses, ³ with the third chariot ^(D)white horses, and with the fourth chariot strong ^(E)dappled horses. ⁴ Then I spoke and said to the angel who was speaking with me, “^(F)What are these, my lord?” ⁵ The angel replied to me, “These are the ^(G)four spirits of heaven, going forth after standing before the Lord of all the earth, ⁶ with one of which the black horses are going forth to the ^(H)north country; and the white ones go forth after them, while the dappled ones go forth to the ^(I)south country. ⁷ When the strong ones went out, they ^[a]were eager to go to ^[b](J)patrol the earth.” And He said, “Go, ^[c]patrol the earth.” So they ^[d]patrolled the earth.
