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.”

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. Alternate translation: “serving the Lord of all the earth”
