[1] The angel who talked with me came again and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep. [2] He said to me, “What do you see?”I said, “I have seen, and behold, a lamp stand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps on it; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps which are on the top of it; [3] and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it.” [4] I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?” [5] Then the angel who talked with me answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?”I said, “No, my lord.” [6] Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, “This is Yahweh’s word to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says Yahweh of Armies. [7] Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of ‘Grace, grace, to it!’ ” [8] Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, [9] “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you. [10] Indeed, who despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are Yahweh’s eyes, which run back and forth through the whole earth.” [11] Then I asked him, “What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lamp stand and on the left side of it?” [12] I asked him the second time, “What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts that pour the golden oil out of themselves?” [13] He answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?”I said, “No, my lord.” [14] Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord§ of the whole earth.”

A Golden Candlestick
[1] And the angel H4397 that talked H1696 (QalActPtc) with me came again, H7725 (QalImpf) and waked H5782 (HiphImpf) me, as a man H376 that is wakened H5782 (NiphImpf) out of his sleep, H8142 [2] and said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, What seest H7200 (QalActPtc) thou? And I said, H559 (QalImpf) I have looked, H7200 (QalPerf) and behold a candlestick H4501 all of gold, H2091 with a bowl H1531§ upon the top H7218 of it, and his seven H7651 lamps H5216 thereon, and seven H7651 pipes H4166§ to the seven H7651 lamps, H5216 which are upon the top H7218 thereof: [3] and two H8147 olive trees H2132 by it, one H259 upon the right H3225 side of the bowl, H1543 and the other H259 upon the left H8040 side thereof. [4] So I answered H6030 (QalImpf) and spake H559 (QalImpf) to the angel H4397 that talked H1696 (QalActPtc) with me, saying, H559 (QalInf) What are these, my lord? H113 [5] Then the angel H4397 that talked H1696 (QalActPtc) with me answered H6030 (QalImpf) and said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, Knowest H3045 (QalPerf) thou not what these be? And I said, H559 (QalImpf) No, my lord. H113 [6] Then he answered H6030 (QalImpf) and spake H559 (QalImpf) unto me, saying, H559 (QalInf) This is the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 unto Zerubbabel, H2216 saying, H559 (QalInf) Not by might, H2428§ nor by power, H3581 but by my spirit, H7307 saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H3068 of hosts. H6635 [7] Who art thou, O great H1419 mountain? H2022 before H6440 Zerubbabel H2216 thou shalt become a plain: H4334 and he shall bring forth H3318 (HiphPerf) the headstone H68 thereof with shoutings, H8663 crying, Grace, H2580 grace H2580 unto it. [8] Moreover the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came unto me, saying, H559 (QalInf) [9] The hands H3027 of Zerubbabel H2216 have laid the foundation H3245 (PielPerf) of this house; H1004 his hands H3027 shall also finish H1214 (PielImpf) it; and thou shalt know H3045 (QalPerf) that the Lord H3068 of hosts H6635 hath sent H7971 (QalPerf) me unto you. [10] For who hath despised H936 (QalPerf) the day H3117 of small things? H6996 for they shall rejoice, H8055 (QalPerf) and shall see H7200 (QalPerf) the plummet H68§ in the hand H3027 of Zerubbabel H2216 with those seven; H7651 they are the eyes H5869 of the Lord, H3068 which run to and fro H7751 (PolePtc) through the whole earth. H776 [11] Then answered H6030 (QalImpf) I, and said H559 (QalImpf) unto him, What are these two H8147 olive trees H2132 upon the right H3225 side of the candlestick H4501 and upon the left H8040 side thereof? [12] And I answered H6030 (QalImpf) again, H8145 and said H559 (QalImpf) unto him, What be these two H8147 olive H2132 branches H7641 which through H3027§ the two H8147 golden H2091 pipes H6804 empty H7324 (HiphPtc) the golden H2091§ oil out of themselves? [13] And he answered H559 (QalImpf) me and said, H559 (QalInf) Knowest H3045 (QalPerf) thou not what these be? And I said, H559 (QalImpf) No, my lord. H113 [14] Then said H559 (QalImpf) he, These are the two H8147 anointed H3323 ones, H1121§ that stand H5975 (QalActPtc) by the Lord H113 of the whole earth. H776Footnotes
