1 And the angel who was speaking with me returned and awakened me, as a man is awakened out of his sleep.

2 And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I see, and behold, a lampstand, all of it gold, and a bowl on its top, and its seven lamps on it, and seven spouts which are to the seven lamps on its top;

3 and two olive trees are beside it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on its left.
