1    ^noteThe angel who talked with me came back and roused me as a man is roused from sleep. 2   He asked me what I saw, and I answered, ‘A lampstand all of gold with a bowl on it; it holds seven lamps, and there are seven pipes ^note for the lamps on top of it, 3   with two olive-trees standing by it, one on the right of the bowl and another on the left.’ 11    ^noteI asked him, ‘What are these two olive-trees, the one on the right and the other on the left of the lamp-stand?’ 12   I asked also another question, ‘What are the two sprays of olive beside the golden pipes which discharge the golden oil from their bowls ^note?’ 13   He said, ‘Do you not know what these mean?’ 14   ‘No, sir’, I answered. ‘These two’, he said, ‘are the two consecrated with oil ^note who attend the Lord of all the earth.’
