Then he said to me, Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that thou set thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard. And I have come for thy words' sake.

And, behold, somebody in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me, O my lord, because of the vision my pains have turned upon me, and I retain no strengt

Then I answered, and said to him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side of it?

And I answered the second time, and said to him, What are these two olive-branches, which are beside the two golden spouts that empty the golden [oil] out of themselves?
