The Key Word — אֲמֻצִּֽים, 'a.mu.Tzimgenerated
The word אָמֹץ (amots) is an adjective meaning 'strong.' It describes something that possesses strength or power. In this context, it emphasizes the might of the horses, which are integral to the chariots they pull.
The parsing indicates that it is used in the plural form, אֲמֻצִּים, referring to all the horses collectively. This highlights that each horse is strong, reinforcing the idea that they are capable and powerful in their purpose.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
Where the translations differ is with אֲמֻצִּֽים: powerful (WEB) contrasts with strong (BSB, ASV, KJV, YLT). This shows a slight variation in the emphasis on the horses' capabilities.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause is structured around the noun phrase that identifies the horses, with two numeral phrases indicating their order: הַשְּׁלִשִׁ֖ית (the third) and הָרְבִעִ֔ית (the fourth). The structure emphasizes the sequence and the characteristics of each group of horses.
The Hebrew word order places the horses at the forefront, highlighting their significance in the vision. The phrases that follow describe their colors and strength, creating a vivid image of their appearance and purpose.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew מֶרְכָּבָה is rendered as ἅρματι, which also means 'chariot.' This choice maintains the original meaning while adapting to the Greek audience's understanding.
The Greek term ψαροί for אֲמֻצִּֽים indicates a focus on strength, aligning with the Hebrew meaning but potentially broadening its interpretation to include a sense of vigor or robustness.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text describes the third chariot as having strong white horses and the fourth chariot as having strong dappled horses. The Septuagint agrees with the Masoretic Text in content, as it matches nine of the nine words, although the word order and articles differ due to its translation style. The Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q80) also align with the Masoretic Text, but some words are partially restored or supplied by an editor, indicating that while the overall message remains consistent, there are some textual variations in the preservation of the words.
וּבַמֶּרְכָּבָ֥ה הַשְּׁלִשִׁ֖ית סוּסִ֣ים לְבָנִ֑ים וּבַמֶּרְכָּבָה֙ הָרְבִעִ֔ית סוּסִ֥ים בְּרֻדִּ֖ים אֲמֻצִּֽים׃
9 of the 9 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.

Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.

It is to the chariots of ancient Egypt that reference is first made in Scripture. Joseph was honored by being made to ride in the second chariot of King Pharaoh (Ge 41:43).

Chariot
A vehicle generally used for warlike purposes. Sometimes, though but rarely, it is spoken of as used for peaceful purposes.
The first mention of the chariot is when Joseph, as a mark of distinction, was placed in Pharaoh’s second state chariot (Gen. 41:43); and the next, when he went out in his own chariot to meet his father Jacob (46:29). Chariots formed part of the funeral procession of Jacob (50:9). When Pharaoh pursued the Israelites he took 600 war-chariots with him (Ex. 14:7). The Canaanites in the valleys of Palestine had chariots of iron (Josh. 17:18; Judg. 1:19). Jabin, the king of Canaan, had 900 chariots (
a vehicle used either for warlike or peaceful purposes, but most commonly the former. The Jewish chariots were patterned after the Egyptian, and consisted of a single pair of wheels on an axle, upon which was a car with high front and sides, but open at the back.

(Genesis 41:43) Later on we find mention of Egyptian chariots for a warlike purpose. (Exodus 14:7) In this point of view chariots among some nations of antiquity, as elephants among others, may be regarded as filling the place of heavy artillery in modern times, so that the military power of a nation might be estimated by the number of its chariots.
