Зехарья 4:6 Комментарий: Rashi & Tze'enah Ure'enah

“This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel” This is a sign for you to promise Zerubbabel that just as the olives and this oil are finished by themselves in all respects, so will you not build My house with your [own] power or with your [own] strength.

but by My spirit I will place My spirit upon Darius, and he will command you to build and to pay all the building expenses from his [treasury]; and [he will] help you with wheat, wine, oil, and wood, as is explained in Ezra (6, 7): They required no aid from any man.

“Not by might, nor by power, but through My spirit, says the Lord” [4:6]. The angel responded: I will tell you what this means. Just like you see that the tree making oil run from itself into the bowl and the bowl causes the oil to flow by itself into the candelabrum, into each branch, so too, the Temple will be built by God himself, and not through the hands of the people. The tree and the candelabrum signify this.¹¹Radak, Zechariah, 4:6.
