9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. 10 For who hath despised the day of small things? even they shall see with joy the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel, even these seven, which are the eyes of the LORD, that run to and fro through the whole earth.' 11 Then answered I, and said unto him: 'What are these two olive-trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?' 12 And 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?' 13 And he answered me and said: 'Knowest thou not what these are?' And I said: 'No, my lord.' 14 Then said he: 'These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.' Zechariah 4:9-14, JPS Tanakh 1917. Public domain.
