30. What did the angel tell Zechariah that the two olive trees alongside the lampstand pictured?

³⁰ “And I proceeded to answer and say to him: ‘What do these two olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on its left side mean?’

Zechariah 4:11-14.

31. How was the supply of oil delivered to the lamps, why was the supply constant, and what did the oil picture?

³¹ Zechariah saw good to follow up his first question immediately with a second one, in order not to miss inquiring about a feature that he had not mentioned in his first question. Those two olive trees, we recall, stood to the right and the left of the golden bowl from which seven pipes extended out to the seven lamps on the lampstand in order to deliver to them oil from the central supply.
