Zechariah 4

Evangelical Heritage Version

The Fifth Vision: A Lampstand and Two Olive Trees

4 Then the angel who was speaking with me returned and woke me up in the same way that a man is awakened from sleep. ² He said to me, “What do you see?”

I said, “Look! Right there, I see a lampstand, made entirely of gold, with a basin on top of it, with seven lamps on it, and there are seven channels leading to the lamps that are on top of it.^{[a] 3} There are two olive trees beside it, one to the right of the bowl, and one to its left.”

⁴ I asked the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these, my lord?”

⁵ The angel who was speaking with me answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?”

I answered, “No, my lord.”

⁶ So he said to me:

⁸ Then the word of the Lord came to me:

¹¹ Then I asked him, “What are these two olive trees to the right and left of the lampstand?” ¹² I asked him a second time, “What are the two olive branches that are beside the two gold conduits that pour out the golden oil?”

¹³ He said to me, “Don’t you know what these are?”

I said, “No, my lord.”

¹⁴ Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones^[c] who stand by the Lord of all the earth.”
