² He asked me, “What do you see?”

I replied, “I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top. The lampstand also has seven lamps at the top with seven spouts for each of^[a] the lamps.

³ There are also two olive trees beside it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.”

¹¹ I asked him, “What are the two olive trees on the right and left of the lampstand?” ¹² And I questioned him further, “What are the two streams^[a] of the olive trees, from which the golden oil is pouring through the two golden conduits?”

¹³ Then he inquired of me, “Don’t you know what these are?”

“No, my lord,” I replied.
