Discovery BoxZechariah 6:3 
Context6:3 to the third white horses, and to the fourth spotted horses, all of them strong. 1
Zechariah 10:6
Context10:6 “I (says the Lord) will strengthen the kingdom 2 of Judah and deliver the people of Joseph 3 and will bring them back 4 because of my compassion for them. They will be as though I had never rejected them, for I am the Lord their God and therefore I will hear them.
1 tc For the MT reading אֲמֻצִּים (’amutsim, “strong”) Aquila and Syriac presuppose אֲדֻמִּים (’adummim, “red”), thus giving the red horse an assignment and eliminating the problem of a fifth, “spotted” horse. The fourth would be a mottled red horse according to this view. There is, however, no manuscript support for this interpretation.
2 tn Heb “the house.”
3 tn Or “the kingdom of Israel”; Heb “the house of Joseph.”
sn Joseph is mentioned here instead of the usual Israel (but see 2 Sam 19:20; Ps 78:67; 80:1; 81:5; Ezek 37:16; Amos 5:6, 15; 6:6) because of the exodus motif that follows in vv. 8-11.
4 tc The anomalous MT reading וְחוֹשְׁבוֹתִים (vÿkhoshÿvotim) should probably be וַהֲשִׁי בוֹתִם (vahashi votim), the Hiphil perfect consecutive of שׁוּב (shuv), “return” (cf. Jer 12:15).
