thereon; there are seven pipes to each of the Êamps, which are upon the top

it, one upon the right side of the bowÊ, and the
other upon the Êeft side thereof.

5 Then the angeÊ that taÊked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou
not what these are? And I said, No, my Êord.
6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah unto
ZerubbabeÊ, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith Jehovah of
hosts.
7 11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two oÊive-trees upon the
