Zacarías 4,1-14
Chapter IIII.
1 By the golden Candlesticke is foreshewed the good successe of Zerubbabels foundation. 11 By the two Oliue trees the two anointed ones.
1 And the Angell that talked with me, came againe and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleepe:
2 And said vnto mee, What seest thou? and I said, I haue looked, and behold a candlesticke all of gold, [ Hebrew: with her bowle.] with a bowle vpon the top of it, and his seuen lampes thereon, and [ Or, seuen seuerall pipes to the lampes, etc.] seuen pipes to the seuen lampes, which were vpon the top thereof.
3 And two Oliue trees by it, one vpon the right side of the bowle, and the other vpon the left side thereof.
4 So I answered and spake to the Angell that talked with mee, saying: What are these, my Lord?
5 Then the Angel that talked with me, answered and said vnto me; Knowest thou not what these be? and I said; No, my Lord.
6 Then hee answered and spake vnto mee, saying; This is the word of the Lord vnto Zerubbabel, saying; Not by [ Or, armie.] might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hostes.
7 Who art thou, O great mountaine? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plaine, and he shall bring forth the head stone thereof with shoutings, crying; Grace, grace vnto it.
8 Moreouer the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying;
9 The hands of Zerubbabel haue layed the foundation of this house: his hands shall also finish it, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hostes hath sent me vnto you.
10 For who hath despised the day of small things? [ Or, sith the seuen eyes of the Lord shall reioyce.] for they shall reioyce and shall see the [ Hebrew: stone of tinne.] plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seuen: [ Zec_3:9.] they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
11 Then answered I, and said vnto
[A flying booke.]
him; What are these two oliue trees vpon the right side of the candlesticke, and vpon the left side thereof?
12 And I answered againe and said vnto him, What be these two oliue branches, which [ Hebrew: by the hand.] through the two golden pipes [ Or, emptie out of themselues oyle into the gold .] emptie [ Hebrew: the gold,] the golden oyle out of themselues?
13 And hee answered mee and said; Knowest thou not what these be? and I said, No, my Lord.
14 Then said he; These are the two [ Hebrew: sonnes of oyle.] annointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
