‏ Revelation of John 11:4

The two olive trees ( α δυο ελαια ). The article seems to point to what is known. For this original use of ελαια see Ro 11:17, 24. In Zec 4:2, 3, 14 the lampstand or candlestick ( λυχνια ) is Israel, and the two olive trees apparently Joshua and Zerubbabel, but John makes his own use of this symbolism. Here the two olive trees and the candlesticks are identical.

Standing ( εστωτες ). Masculine perfect active participle agreeing with ουτο instead of εστωσα (read by P and cursives) agreeing with ελαια κα λυχνια, even though α (feminine plural article) be accepted before ενωπιον του κυριου (before the Lord).
