1 And the messenger who is speaking with me doth turn back, and stir me up as one who is stirred up out of his sleep,
2 and he saith unto me, `What art thou seeing?' And I say, `I have looked, and lo, a candlestick of gold -- all of it, and its bowl [is] on its top, and its seven lamps [are] upon it, and twice seven pipes [are] to the lights that [are] on its top,
3 and two olive-trees [are] by it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on its left.'
4 And I answer and speak unto the messenger who is speaking with me, saying, `What [are] these, my lord?'
5 And the messenger who is speaking with me answereth and saith unto me, `Hast thou not known what these [are]?' And I say, `No, my lord.'
