The chariots symbolize the four winds of heaven, but they are not literally the four winds. Alternate translation: “These chariots represent the four winds of heaven”

This phrase refers to the four directions from which the wind blows: north, east, south, and west. However, some modern versions interpret this Hebrew expression to mean “four spirits.”

(Occurrence 0) standing before the Lord of all the earth
(Some words not found in UHB: and,answered the,angel and=he/it_said to,me these four spirits_of the=heavens going_out after,presenting_themselves on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in master_of all/each/any/every the=earth/land )
The idiom to “stand before” means to be in a person’s presence and to serve him. See how you translated this in [Zechariah 4:14](../04/14.md). Alternate translation: “serving the Lord of all the earth”
6:5 The four spirits (or the four winds) of heaven are divine council members who report to God on their reconnaissance missions to the four compass points (see 2:6). The whole world is under God’s dominion. The teams of chariot horses are agents of God’s judgment.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
