And they that were most strong, went out, and sought to go, and to run to and fro through all the earth. And he said: Go, walk throughout the earth: and they walked throughout the earth.
וְהָאֲמֻצִּ֣ים יָצְא֗וּ וַיְבַקְשׁוּ֙ לָלֶ֙כֶת֙ לְהִתְהַלֵּ֣ך בָּאָ֔רֶץ וַיֹּ֕אמֶר לְכ֖וּ הִתְהַלְּכ֣וּ בָאָ֑רֶץ וַתִּתְהַלַּ֖כְנָה בָּאָֽרֶץ׃
2 Church Fathers comment on this verse
The men with red hair surveyed their surroundings, and they received the command, "Explore the land." This aligns with the declaration, "I will bring vengeance upon Edom." By instructing them to "search the land," the prophet signals to the Israelites that the moment has arrived for retribution against their adversaries, including the Idumeans and various other nations.
When referring to "earth," he is indicating the entirety of creation rather than just the territory of Israel. He describes the horses as diverse in color, as they fulfill various roles, administering discipline when appropriate and bestowing blessings when required.
