[Sidenote:  Zech. 4:1-6] Then the angel who talked with me came again and waked me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.  And he said to me, What seest thou?  And I said, I see midst there a candlestick, all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps upon it; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are upon the top of it, and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on its left side.  And I spoke and said to the angel who talked with me, What are these, my lord?  Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, Knowest thou not what these are?  And I said, No, my lord.  Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, The eyes of Jehovah, which rove to and fro through the whole earth.

[Sidenote:  Zech. 4:11-14] Then I answered, and said to him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon its left side?  And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these are?  And I said, No, my lord.  Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

[Sidenote:  Zech. 4:6b-10] This is the word of Jehovah regarding Zerubbabel, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith Jehovah of will I make the great mountain before Zerubbabel a plain; and he shall bring forth the top stones with shoutings of, ‘Grace, grace, to it.’  Moreover this word of Jehovah came to me:  The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundations of this temple; his hands shall also finish it; and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me to you.  For who hath despised the day of small things?  For they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel.

[Sidenote:  Zech. 6:9-11].  Now this word of Jehovah came to me:  Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, of Jedaiah and of Josiah the son of Zephaniah who have come from Babylon, yea, take of them silver and gold in order to make a crown and set it on the head of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel.

[Sidenote:  Zech. 6:12-15] Thou shalt also say to them:  ’Thus saith Jehovah of hosts:  “Behold, the man whose name is the Branch; and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build the temple of Jehovah; and he shall bear the glory and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and Joshua the son of Jehozadak shall be a priest upon his right, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.  And the crown shall be to Heldai and Tobijah and Jedaiah, and Josiah the son of Zephaniah, as a memorial in the temple of Jehovah.  And they who are far off shall come and build in the temple of Jehovah; and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me to you.  And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of Jehovah your God."’
