pipes, channels (for conducting oil to lamps)
This masculine plural construct noun refers to pipes or channels, appearing in Zechariah 4:12 in the golden lampstand vision. The prophet sees 'two golden pipes' that empty golden oil from the olive trees to the lamp. These channels conducted oil from source to light, sustaining the flame. The formation involves an inserted 'ת' according to Hebrew grammar patterns. The image emphasizes continuous supply—the pipes ensure unending flow from divine source to illuminating function.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Pipes or channels that conduct liquid, specifically in Zechariah 4:12's vision of the golden lampstand: 'the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil.' These channels connect the olive trees to the lamp, ensuring continuous oil supply. The pipes represent the means by which divine empowerment (oil symbolizing the Spirit) flows constantly to enable Israel's light-bearing mission. Without these channels, the lamp would empty; with them, supply is perpetual. 1×
