Then I asked the messenger who spoke with me, “What are these, ¹  sir?”

Next I asked the messenger, “What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the menorah?”

Then I asked the angelic messenger ¹  who was speaking with me, “What are these, sir?”

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?”

Then I will keep the promise I swore on oath to your ancestors to give them a land flowing with milk and honey.” ¹  That is the very land that you still live in today.’” ²  And I responded, “Amen! Let it be so, ³  Lord!”
