Zechariah 4:12

4:12 Before he could reply I asked again, “What are these two extensions ¹  of the olive trees, which are emptying out the golden oil through the two golden pipes?”

Zechariah 9:2

9:2 as are those of Hamath also, which adjoins Damascus, and Tyre ²  and Sidon, ³  though they consider themselves to be very wise.

¹ tn The usual meaning of the Hebrew term שְׁבֹּלֶת (shÿbolet) is “ears” (as in ears of grain). Here it probably refers to the produce of the olive trees, i.e., olives. Many English versions render the term as “branches,” but cf. NAB “tufts.”
