Zechariah 5

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

Then again I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll.

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.

He said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its width 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.

Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land, for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it on the one side; and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off according to it on the other side.

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 cause it to go out,” says the LORD of Armies, “and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the middle of his house, and will destroy it with its timber 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.

Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, “Lift up now your eyes and see what this is that is appearing.”

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.

I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is the ephah basket that is appearing.” He said moreover, “This is their appearance in all the land—

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 lead cover weighing one talent was lifted up—and there was a woman sitting in the middle of the ephah basket.”

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.

He said, “This is Wickedness;” and he threw her down into the middle of the ephah basket; and he threw the lead weight on 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.

Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, there were two women; and the wind was in their wings. Now they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah basket between earth and the sky.

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

Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are these carrying the ephah basket?”

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.

He said to me, “To build her a house in the land of Shinar. When it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place.”
