Zacharias (Zechariah) 4
4
1And the angel that spoke in me came again: and he waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
2And he said to me: What seest thou? And I said: I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, and its lamp upon the top of it: and the seven lights thereof upon it: and seven funnels for the lights that were upon the top thereof.
3And two olive trees over it: one upon the right side of the lamp, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4And I answered, and said to the angel that spoke in me, saying: What are these things, my lord?
5And the angel that spoke in me answered, and said to me: Knowest thou not what these things are? And I said: No, my lord.
6And he answered, and spoke to me, saying: This is the word of the Lord to Zorobabel, saying: Not with an army, nor by might, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
7Who art thou, O great mountain, before Zorobabel? thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring out the chief stone, and shall give equal grace to the grace thereof.
8And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
9The hands of Zorobabel have laid the foundations of this house, and his hands shall finish it: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me to you.
10For who hath despised little days? and they shall rejoice, and shall see the tin plummet in the hand of Zorobabel. These are the seven eyes of the Lord, that run to and fro through the whole earth.
11And I answered, and said to him: What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick, and upon the left side thereof?
12And I answered again, and said to him: What are the two olive branches, that are by the two golden beaks, in which are the funnels of gold?
13And he spoke to me, saying: Knowest thou not what these are? And I said: No, my lord.
14And he said: These are two sons of oil who stand before the Lord of the whole earth.

Zecharyah 4
4
1And the malach that spoke with me returned, and awakened me, like a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
2And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and hinei a menorat zahav, solid gold, with an oil vessel upon the top of it, and shivah nerot (lamps) thereon, and shivah tubes to the shivah nerot (lamps), which are upon the top thereof:
3And two zeytim (olive trees) by it, one upon the right side of the oil vessel, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4So I answered and spoke to the malach that spoke with me, saying, What are these, adoni?
5Then the malach that spoke with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, Lo (no), adoni.
6Then he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the Devar Hashem unto Zerubavel, saying, Not by might, nor by ko'ach (power), but by My Ruach,#4:6 Hakodesh saith Hashem Tzva'os.
7Who art thou, O har hagadol (great mountain), before Zerubavel? Thou shalt become a plain; and he shall bring forth the even haroshah (cornerstone) thereof with shoutings, crying, Chen, chen (Grace, grace) unto it.
8Moreover the Devar Hashem came unto me, saying,
9The hands of Zerubavel have laid the Yesod (foundation) of this Beis;#4:9 HaMikdash his hands shall also finish it; then thou shalt know that Hashem Tzva'os hath sent me unto you.
10For who hath despised the Yom Ketannot (day of small things)? For they shall have simcha, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubavel with these shivah; they are the eyes of Hashem, which run to and fro throughout kol ha'aretz.
11Then I replied by asking him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the menorah and upon the left side thereof?
12And I asked again, and said unto him, What are these two branches of the zeytim which through the two golden sprouts pour the gold-colored oil out of themselves?
13And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, Lo (no), adoni.
14Then said he, These are the two bnei hayitzhar (sons of oil), that stand by Adon Kol Ha'aretz.#4:14 T.N. See Mal 3:1 where Moshiach is referred to similarly
