³ And two olive-trees by it, one on the right side of the cup and one on the left.

⁴ These are the two olive-trees and the two lights, which are before the Lord of the earth.

⁹ But the olive-tree said to them, Am I to give up my wealth of oil, by which men give honour to God, and go waving over the trees?

¹¹ And I made answer and said to him, What are these two olive-trees on the right side of the light-support and on the left?

¹² And answering a second time, I said to him, What are these two olive branches, through whose gold pipes the oil is drained out?

¹⁴ And he said, These are the two sons of oil, whose place is by the Lord of all the earth.

¹⁷ But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, an olive-tree of the fields, were put in among them, and were given a part with them in the root by which the olive-tree is made fertile,

²⁴ For if you were cut out of a field olive-tree, and against the natural use were united to a good olive-tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be united again with the olive-tree which was theirs?
