Revelation 6

The Third Seal

5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come! " And I looked, and there was a black horse.  * 6:5 Zch 6:2,6 Its rider held a set of scales in his hand.  * 6:5 1Sm 2:3; Jb 6:2; 31:6; Ps 62:9; Pr 16:26 Then I heard something like a voice among the four living creatures say, "A quart of wheat for a denarius,  * 6:6 A denarius = one day’s wage and three quarts of barley for a denarius,  * 6:6 2Kg 6:25; 7:1 but do not harm the oil and the wine."  * 6:6 Rv 7:3; 9:4
