Discovery BoxZechariah 4:3 
Context4:3 There are also two olive trees beside it, one on the right of the receptacle and the other on the left.” 1
Zechariah 4:2
Context4:2 He asked me, “What do you see?” I replied, 2 “I see a menorah of pure gold with a receptacle at the top and seven lamps, with fourteen pipes going to the lamps.
1 sn The vision apparently describes two olive trees providing olive oil by pipes to a large basin atop the menorah. From this basin two pipes extend to each of the seven lamps of the menorah, for a total of fourteen pipes in all. See vv. 11-12.
2 tc The present translation (along with most other English versions) follows the reading of the Qere and many ancient versions, “I said,” as opposed to the MT Kethib “he said.”
