Zakharia 4:1-2

Vision Five: The Menorah

4:1 The angelic messenger ¹  who had been speaking with me then returned and woke me, as a person is wakened from sleep. 4:2 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.

[4:1]  ¹ tn See the note on the expression “angelic messenger” in 1:9.

[4:2]  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.”
