Zechariah 6:7

And the 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.

And the bay {H554} went forth {H3318}, and sought {H1245} to go {H3212} that they might walk to and fro {H1980} through the earth {H776}: and he said {H559}, Get you hence {H3212}, walk to and fro {H1980} through the earth {H776}. So they walked to and fro {H1980} through the earth {H776}.

Then the gray ones went out and were seeking to go and wander throughout the whole earth, when he said, "Wander throughout the whole earth"; and they did wander throughout the whole earth.

As the strong horses went out, they were eager to go and patrol the earth; and the LORD said, “Go and patrol the earth.” So they patrolled the earth.

And the strong 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.
