< Zechariah 5 >

1 And I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold, a flying roll.
And I returned and I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! a scroll flying.
2 And he said to me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
And he said to me what? [are] you seeing and I said I [am] seeing a scroll flying length its [is] twenty by the cubit and breadth its [is] ten by the cubit.
3 Then said he to me: — This is the curse that goeth forth Over the Face of the whole land; For every one who stealeth shall be cut off from hence, according to it, And every one who sweareth falsely shall be cut off from hence, according to it.
And he said to me this [is] the curse which is about to go forth over [the] surface of all the land for every [one who] steals from this according to it he will be purged and every [one who] swears an oath from this according to it he will be purged.
4 I will bring it forth, saith Jehovah of hosts, And it shall enter into the house of the thief, And into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name; And it shall abide in his house, And shall consume it, with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
I will send forth it [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts and it will go into [the] house of the thief and into [the] house of the [one who] swears an oath by name my to falsehood and it will lodge in [the] midst of house his and it will destroy it and wood its and stone its.
5 Then the angel who talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what this is which goeth forth.
And he went out the angel who was speaking with me and he said to me lift up please eyes your and see what? [is] the [thing which] is going forth this.
6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah which goeth forth. He said, moreover, This is their image through all the land.
And I said what? [is] it and he said this [is] the ephah which is going forth and he said this [is] appearance their in all the land.
7 And behold, a talent of lead was lifted up, and a woman was sitting upon the ephah.
And there! a round cover of lead [was] raised and this woman one [was] sitting in [the] midst of the ephah.
8 And he said, This is the Wickedness. And he cast her into the ephah, and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
And he said this [woman] [is] wickedness and he threw her into [the] midst of the ephah and he threw [the] weight of lead into mouth its.
9 Then lifted I up mine eyes and looked, and behold, there came forth two women, and wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and heaven.
And I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! two women [were] going forth and a wind [was] in wings their and [belonged] to them wings like [the] wings of stork and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and between the heavens.
10 Then said I to the angel who talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
And I said to the angel who was speaking with me where? [are] they taking the ephah.
11 And he said to me, To build it a house in the land of Shinar, that it may be fixed there, and set upon its base.
And he said to me to build for it a house in [the] land of Shinar and it will be prepared and it will be placed there on on own stand its.
