Zec 5:11 | NET2full | STEP | He replied , “To build a temple for her in the land of Babylonia . When it is finished , she will be placed there in her own residence .”

‏ Zechariah 5:11

11 He replied, “To build a temple ^{▼▼tn Heb “house” (so NIV, NRSV, CEV).} for her in the land of Babylonia. ^{▼▼sn The land of Babylonia (Heb “the land of Shinar”) is another name for Sumer and Akkad, where Babylon was located (Gen 10:10). Babylon throughout the Bible symbolizes the focus of anti-God sentiment and activity (Gen 11:4; 14:1; Isa 13-14; 47:1-3; Jer 50-51; Rev 14:8; 17:1, 5, 18; 18:21).} When it is finished, she will be placed there in her own residence.”
