Zecharyah 4:3-10 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

3. And two zeytim (olive trees) by it, one upon the right side of the oil vessel, and the other upon the left side thereof.

4. So I answered and spoke to the malach that spoke with me, saying, What are these, adoni?

5. Then the malach that spoke with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, Lo (no), adoni.

6. Then he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the Devar Hashem unto Zerubavel, saying, Not by might, nor by ko'ach (power), but by My Ruach [Hakodesh], saith Hashem Tzva'os.

7. Who art thou, O har hagadol (great mountain), before Zerubavel? Thou shalt become a plain; and he shall bring forth the even haroshah (cornerstone) thereof with shoutings, crying, Chen, chen (Grace, grace) unto it.

8. Moreover the Devar Hashem came unto me, saying,

9. The hands of Zerubavel have laid the Yesod (foundation) of this Beis [HaMikdash]; his hands shall also finish it; then thou shalt know that Hashem Tzva'os hath sent me unto you.

10. For who hath despised the Yom Ketannot (day of small things)? For they shall have simcha, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubavel with these shivah; they are the eyes of Hashem, which run to and fro throughout kol ha'aretz.
