Zechariah 5:5-11
A Vision of a Woman in a Basket
5 aThen the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, b“Lift your eyes and see what this is that is going out.” 6And I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is cthe basket ▼▼Hebrew ephah; also verses 7–11. An ephah was about 3/5 bushel or 22 liters
that is going out.” And he said, “This is their iniquity ▼▼One Hebrew manuscript, Septuagint, Syriac; most Hebrew manuscripts eye
in all the land.” 7And behold, the leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the basket! 8And he said, “This is Wickedness.” And he thrust her back into the basket, and thrust down fthe leaden weight on its opening. 9Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, two women coming forward! gThe wind was in their wings. They had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven. 10Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they taking the basket?” 11He said to me, “To the hland of Shinar, to build a house for it. And when this is prepared, they will set the basket down there on its base.”
