white horse, and he that sat on it had a bow, and a
crown was given him, and he went forth conquering and to conquer.

2 [6:3]And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second cherub
say, Come. [6:4]And there went out another fiery horse, and it was
given to him that sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that they
should kill one another, and there was given him a great sword.

3 [6:5]And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third cherub say,
Come. And I saw, and behold, a black horse, and he that sat on it had a
pair of scales in his hand. [6:6]And I heard a voice in the midst of
the four cherubs, saying, A choenix [a quart] of wheat for a denarius
[14 cents], and three choenices of barley for a denarius; and injure
