Zechariah 1:8

At night I saw, and behold (Hebr. vehinneh)! [Change of perspective, we see through Zechariah's eyes:] A man was riding a red horse and stood among the myrtle trees in the ravine. Behind him were red, brownish (the changing green-brown color of the vine) and white horses.
[In chapter 6, Zechariah sees four chariots drawn by red, black, white, and speckled horses. In Revelation, John sees a white, fiery red, black, and greenish horse, see Rev 6:1–8. The word for vine is used here to describe the brownish color of the horse. The vine is first light green when it sprouts, then darkens, and finally turns brownish. This brownish horse corresponds to the speckled horse in Zech. 6:2 and the greenish one in Rev 6:8.]
