³ and two olive-trees `are' by it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on its left.'

⁴ these are the two olive `trees', and the two lamp-stands that before the God of the earth do stand;

⁹ And the olive saith to them, Have I ceased from my fatness, by which they honour gods and men, that I have gone to stagger over the trees?

¹¹ And I answer and say unto him, `What `are' these two olive-trees, on the right of the candlestick, and on its left?'

¹² And I answer a second time, and say unto him, `What `are' the two branches of the olive trees that, by means of the two golden pipes, are emptying out of themselves the oil?'

¹⁴ And he saith, `These `are' the two sons of the oil, who are standing by the Lord of the whole earth.'

¹⁷ And if certain of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wast graffed in among them, and a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree didst become --

²⁴ for if thou, out of the olive tree, wild by nature, wast cut out, and, contrary to nature, wast graffed into a good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who `are' according to nature, be graffed into their own olive tree?
