1. And the messenger who was speaking to me came back and woke me up as a man is awakened from sleep.
2. And he said to me, “What do you see?” So I said, “I have looked, and see: a lampstand all of gold with a bowl on top of it, and on the stand seven lamps with seven spouts to the seven lamps.
3. “And two olive trees are by it, one at the right of the bowl and the other at its left.”
4. Then I responded and spoke to the messenger who was speaking to me, saying, “What are these, my master?”
5. And the messenger who was speaking to me answered and said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my master.”
6. And he answered and said to me, “This is the word of יהוה to Zerubbaḇel, ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ said יהוה of hosts.
7. ‘Who are you, great mountain, before Zerubbaḇel? A plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of “Favour, favour to it!” ’ ”
