Zechariah 4:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 For who hath despised the day of the [a]small things? but they shall rejoice, and shall see the stone of [b]tin in the hand of Zerubbabel: [c]these seven are the eyes of the Lord, which go through the whole world.
11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right and upon the left side thereof?
12 And I spake moreover, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches, which through the two golden pipes empty themselves into the gold?
