Again I asked him, “What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?”
And I answered the second time and said to him, “What are the two olive branches which are beside the two golden pipes, which empty the golden oil from themselves?”
He replied, “Do you not know what these are?”
“No, my lord,” I said.
“No, my lord,” I said.
So he answered me, saying, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
