Zechariah 5

1 And I returned and I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! a scroll flying.

And I turned and lifted up my eyes. And I saw, and behold, a book flying.

2 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.

And he said to me, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a book flying. Its length is twenty cubits, and its width is ten cubits.”

3 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.

And he said to me, “This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth. For every thief will be judged, just as it has been written there, and everyone who swears by this, will be judged in like manner.”

4 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.

I will bring it forth, says the Lord of hosts, and it will approach to the house of the thief, and to the house of him who swears falsely by my name, and it will remain in the midst of his house and will consume it, with its wood and its stones.

5 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.

And the angel had departed, who was speaking with me. And he said to me, “Lift up your eyes, and see what this is, that goes forth.”

6 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.

And I said, “What, then, is it?” And he said, “This is a container going forth.” And he said, “This is their eye in all the earth.”

7 And there! a round cover of lead [was] raised and this woman one [was] sitting in [the] midst of the ephah.

And behold, a talent of lead was being carried; and behold, one woman sitting in the middle of the container.

8 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.

And he said, “This is impiety.” And he cast her into the middle of the container, and he sent the weight of lead into its mouth.

9 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.

And I lifted up my eyes and I saw. And behold, two women were departing, and a spirit was in their wings, and they had wings like the wings of a kite, and they lifted up the container between earth and heaven.

10 And I said to the angel who was speaking with me where? [are] they taking the ephah.

And I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the container?”

11 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.

And he said to me, “To a house that may be built for it in the land of Shinar, and so that it may be established and set there upon its own base.”
