**man.** Heb, *'ish.* App-14 .

**What seest thou?** The fifth vision.
**I said.** Heb, text reads "he". Some codices, with four early printed editions, are without the Hebrew margin, "I"
**behold** . Figure of speech *Asterismos.* App-6 .
**candlestick** = a single seven-branched lampstand, as in the Tabernacle and in the second Temple (1 Macc. 1.21; 4.49; as seen in the Arch *of* Titus, in Rome). The reference is to the Pentateuch ([Exodus 25:31](../../../kjv/exodus/25/31) ); not to Solomon's Temple, in which there were ten separate lampstands ([1 Kings 7:49](../../../kjv/1-kings/7/49) ). Compare [Jeremiah 52:19](../../../kjv/jeremiah/52/19) . App-92 .
**and his seven lamps.** *Reference to* Pentateuch (Ex, Zec 25:37 ).
**seven pipes** . This looks forward to the future, as described in [Revelation 11:3-12](../../../kjv/revelation/11/3-12) .

**my lord.** Hebrew 'adon. See App-4 .

**the LORD** . Hebrew. *Jehovah.* App-4 .
**might** = might [of man].
**nor** = and not.
**power** = power [of flesh].
**but by** , &c. i.e. as in the lampstand the oil flowed silently, without help from man,
**Spirit.** Hebrew. *ruach* App-9 .
**the LORD of hosts.** See note on [Zechariah 1:3](../../../kjv/zechariah/1/3) .

**O great mountain?** Add, by supplying the Ellip sis ( App-6 ), "[that standest in the way of Zerubbebel? ]"

**The hands,** &c. Here is the explanation *of* the vision.
**thou shalt know** . Some codices, with Aramaean, Syriac, and Vulgate, read "ye shall know".

**plummet.** Hebrew stone of tin = tin weight used as a plummet,
**with those seven** = these seven [lamps which thou seest these [are] the eyes", &c.; as in [Zechariah 3:9](../../../kjv/zechariah/3/9) .

**empty the golden oil out of themselves** = empty out of themselves [and fill] the golden [bowls],

**the two anointed ones** . Heb, the two sons *of* oil; looking forward again to the future, to "the two witnesses" *of* [Revelation 11:3-13](../../../kjv/revelation/11/3-13) .
**the Lord of the whole earth.** The Hebrew *adon* App-4 ., is here specially associated with Messiah's dominion *in the* earth. Compare [Zechariah 6:5](../../../kjv/zechariah/6/5) ; [Zechariah 14:9](../../../kjv/zechariah/14/9) . [Joshua 3:11-13](../../../kjv/joshua/3/11-13) .[Psalms 8:1](../../../kjv/psalms/8/1) , [Psalms 8:6](../../../kjv/psalms/8/6) , [Psalms 8:9](../../../kjv/psalms/8/9) ; [Psalms 97:5](../../../kjv/psalms/97/5) .[Micah 4:13](../../../kjv/micah/4/13) .
