Zech 5
1
Then again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a flying roll.
2
And he said to me, What see you? And I answered, I see a flying roll; its length
is twenty cubits, and its breadth ten cubits.
3
Then said he to me, This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole land:
for every one that steals shall be cut off on the one side according to it; and every
one that swears shall be cut off on the other side according to it.
4
I will cause it to go forth, says YHWH of hosts, and it shall enter into the house
of the thief, and into the house of him whom swears falsely by my name; and it shall
abide in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with its timber and
its stones.
5
Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up now your eyes,
and see what is this that goes forth.
6
And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goes forth. He said moreover,
This is their appearance in all the land
7
(and, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead); and this is a woman sitting in
the midst of the ephah.
8
And he said, This is Wickedness: and he cast her down into the midst of the ephah;
and he cast the weight of lead upon its mouth.
9
Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came forth two women, and
the wind was in their wings; now they had wings like the wings of a stork; and they
lifted up the ephah between earth and heaven.
10
Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Where do these bear the ephah?
11
And he said to me, To build her a house in the land of Shinar: and when it is prepared,
she shall be set there in her own place.
