Dual Panel1The angelic messenger <04397> who had been speaking <01696> with me then returned <07725> and woke <05782> me, as <0834> a person <0376> is wakened <05782> from sleep <08142>.
2He asked <0559> me, “What <04100> do you <0859> see <07200>?” I replied <0559>, “I see <07200> a menorah <04501> of pure gold <02091> with a receptacle <01543> at <05921> the top <07218> and seven <07651> lamps <05216>, with <05921> fourteen <07651> <07651> pipes <04166> going to <05921> the lamps <05216>.
3There are also two <08147> olive trees <02132> beside it, one <0259> on <05921> the right <03225> of the receptacle <01543> and the other <0259> on <05921> the left <08040>.”
4Then I asked <0559> the messenger <04397> who spoke <01696> with me, “What <04100> are these <0428>, sir <0113>?”
5He <04397> replied <0559> <01696> <06030>, “Don’t <03808> you know <03045> what <04100> these <0428> are?” So I responded <0559>, “No <03808>, sir <0113>.”
6Therefore he told <06030> me, “These <02088> signify <0559> the word <01697> of the Lord <03068> to <0413> Zerubbabel <02216>: ‘Not <03808> by strength <02428> and not <03808> by power <03581>, but by my Spirit <07307>,’ says <0559> the Lord <03068> who rules over all <06635>.”
7“What <04310> are you <0859>, you great <01419> mountain <02022>? Because <06440> of Zerubbabel <02216> you will become a level plain <04334>! And he will bring forth <03318> the temple capstone <068> with shoutings <08663> of ‘Grace <02580>! Grace <02580>!’ because of this.”
8Moreover, the word <01697> of the Lord <03068> came <01961> to <0413> me as follows <0559>:
9“The hands <03027> of Zerubbabel <02216> have laid the foundations <03248> of this <02088> temple <01004>, and his hands <03027> will complete <01214> it.” Then you will know <03045> that <03588> the Lord <03068> who rules over all <06635> has sent <07971> me to <0413> you.
10For <03588> who <04310> dares <0937> make light of small <06996> beginnings <03117>? These seven <07651> eyes will joyfully <08055> look <07200> on the tin <0913> tablet <068> in Zerubbabel’s <02216> hand <03027>. (These <0428> are the eyes <05869> of the Lord <03068>, which constantly range across <07751> the whole <03605> earth <0776>.)
11Next I asked <06030> the messenger, “What <04100> are these <0428> two <08147> olive trees <02132> on <05921> the right <03225> and the left <08040> of <05921> the menorah <04501>?”
12Before he could reply <06030> I asked <0559> again <08145>, “What <04100> are these two <08147> extensions <07641> of the olive trees <02132>, which <0834> are emptying out <07324> the golden <02091> oil through <03027> the two <08147> golden <02091> pipes <06804>?”
13He replied <0559>, “Don’t <03808> you know <03045> what <04100> these <0428> are?” And I said <0559>, “No <03808>, sir <0113>.”
14So he said <0559>, “These <0428> are the two <08147> anointed <03323> ones <01121> who stand <05975> by the Lord <0113> of the whole <03605> earth <0776>.”
