3 a nd two olive-trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.

4 A nd I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?

So I asked the angel who talked with me, What are these, my lord?

5 T hen the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

6 T hen he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith Jehovah of hosts.

Then he said to me, This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.

7 W ho art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain; and he shall bring forth the top stone with shoutings of Grace, grace, unto it.

For who are you, O great mountain ? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain '> molehill]! And he shall bring forth the finishing gable stone with loud shoutings of the people, crying, Grace, grace to it!

8 M oreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

9 T he hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you.

The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundations of this house; his hands shall also finish it. Then you shall know (recognize and understand) that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.

Who despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice when they see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel. are the eyes of the Lord which run to and fro throughout the whole earth.

Then I said to him, What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on the left side of it?

12 A nd I answered the second time, and said unto him, What are these two olive-branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that empty the golden oil out of themselves?

And a second time I said to him, What are these two olive branches which are beside the two golden tubes or spouts by which the golden oil is emptied out?

13 A nd he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

And he answered me, Do you not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

14 T hen said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

Then said he, These are the two sons of oil who stand before the Lord of the whole earth.
