Zechariah 4:11 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 4:11

Then answered I, and said unto him
To the angel that talked with him, ( Zechariah 4:1 Zechariah 4:4 Zechariah 4:5 ) : What [are] these two olive trees upon the right [side] of the
candlestick, and upon the [left] side thereof?
in ( Zechariah 4:2 ) they are said to be on each side of the bowl. The mystery of the candlestick being explained to Zechariah by the angel, the prophet desires to know the meaning of the two olive trees that were on the right and left of it, one on one side, and the other on the other side.
