Zechariah 4:3

And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.

And the two olive trees by it,.... Which are explained in,

See Gill on "Zechariah 4:14":

one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof; in Zechariah 4:11 they are said to be on the right and left sides of the bowl or candlestick, which is the same; for the situation of them was alike, with respect to the one and the other: according to Fortunatus Scacchus, these two olive trees did not arise out of the earth, and the top of the candlestick; but out of the base of the candlestick, one on the right hand of the bowl, which hung in the middle of the candlestick; and the other on the left {o}, of which he has given the figure.


{o} Ibid. (Sacer. Elaeochrism, Myrothec. l. 1.) c. 12. p. 62.
