| 1 |
Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll! | The vision of the scroll. Zch.5.1-4 |
| 2 |
And he said to me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its breadth ten cubits." | |
| 3 |
Then he said to me, "This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole land; for every one who steals shall be cut off henceforth according to it, and every one who swears falsely shall be cut off henceforth according to it. | |
| 4 |
I will send it forth, says Yahweh of hosts, and it shall enter the house of the thief, and the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it shall abide in his house and consume it, both timber and stones." | |
| 5 |
Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, "Lift your eyes, and see what this is that goes forth." | The vision of the basket. Zch.5.5-11 |
| 6 |
And I said, "What is it?" He said, "This is the ephah that goes forth." And he said, "This is their iniquity in all the land." | |
| 7 |
And behold, the leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the ephah! | |
| 8 |
And he said, "This is Wickedness." And he thrust her back into the ephah, and thrust down the leaden weight upon its mouth. | |
| 9 |
Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, two women coming forward! The wind was in their wings; they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between earth and heaven. | |
| 10 |
Then I said to the angel who talked with me, "Where are they taking the ephah?" | |
| 11 |
He said to me, "To the land of Shinar, to build a house for it; and when this is prepared, they will set the ephah down there on its base." | |
