New English Translation
3 There are also two olive trees beside it, one on the right of the receptacle and the other on the left.”[a] 4 Then I asked the messenger who spoke with me, “What are these,[b] sir?” 5 He replied, “Don’t you know what these are?” So I responded, “No, sir.”

- Zechariah 4:3 sn The vision apparently describes two olive trees providing olive oil by pipes to a large basin atop the menorah. From this basin two pipes extend to each of the seven lamps of the menorah, for a total of fourteen pipes in all. See vv. 11-12.
- Zechariah 4:4 sn Here these must refer to the lamps, since the identification of the olive trees is left to vv. 11-14.
