Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Zechariah 4:3

_ _ two olive trees — supplying oil to the bowl. The Holy Ghost, who fills with His fullness Messiah (the anointed: the “bowl”), from whom flow supplies of grace to the Church.

_ _ by it — literally, “upon it,” that is, growing so as somewhat to overtop it. For the explanation of the “two” see Zechariah 4:12, Zechariah 4:14.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Zechariah 4:1-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Zechariah 4:3

Two olive — trees by it — All which is an emblem of the church, made of pure gold; to be a light in the world; to shine as lamps that continually burn, maintained with pure oil, distilled from the olive — trees, not pressed out by man, but continually, abundantly, and freely flowing from God.
