{The two olive trees} (hai duo elaiai). The article seems
to point to what is known. For this original use of elaia see
 Ro 11:17,24 . In  Zec 4:2,3,14  the lampstand or candlestick
(luchnia) 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} (hest(9374)es). Masculine perfect active participle
agreeing with houtoi instead of hest(9373)ai (read by P and
cursives) agreeing with elaiai kai luchniai, even though hai
(feminine plural article) be accepted before en(9370)ion tou kuriou
(before the Lord).
