Contextual Overview
1 And once more the messenger who was speaking with me, roused me up, just as a man might be roused up out of his sleep. 2 Then said he unto me, What canst thou see? And I said - I have looked, and lo! a Lampstand - all of gold, with the Bowl thereof upon the top thereof, and its Seven Lamps upon it, Seven Pipes each, to the lamps which are upon the top thereof; 3 and, Two Olive-trees, by it, - one upon the right hand of the bowl, and one upon the left hand thereof. 4 Then responded I, and said unto the messenger who was speaking with me, saying, - What are these, my lord? 5 Then answered the messenger who was speaking with me, and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these, are? And I said, No my lord. 6 Then responded he, and spake unto me, saying, This, is the word of Yahweh, unto Zerubbabel, saying, - Not by wealth, nor by strength, but by my spirit, saith Yahweh of hosts. 7 Who, art, thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel, brought down to a plain! So shall he bring forth the headstone, with thundering shouts Beautiful! Beautiful! thereunto. 8 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying: 9 The hands of Zerubbabel, have founded this house, and, his hands, shall finish it, - So shalt thou know that, Yahweh of hosts, hath sent me unto you. 10 For who hath despised the day of small things? Yet shall they rejoice, when they see the plummet-stone in the hand of Zerubbabel, - these seven! The eyes of Yahweh, they are - running to and fro throughout all the earth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
So I answered, and spake to the angel that talked with me,.... The same that awoke him out of sleep, and asked him what he saw:
saying, What [are] these, my lord? that is, what do they signify? what do they represent? or what are they emblems of? for he knew what they were; that they were a candlestick, and two olive trees; but he was desirous of knowing what the meaning of them were.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Osorius: âAwakened from his state of sleep, even thus the prophet seemed slowly to understand what was shown him. He asks then of the instructing angel. The angel, almost amazed, asks if he knowns it not, and when he plainly declares his ignorance, makes clear the enigma of the vision.â
