Zechariah 5

1 Then I turned and lifted my eyes, and I saw, behold, a flying scroll!

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

2 The angel said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll, twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.”

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 he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land. For every thief will be cut off according to what it says on the one side, and everyone who swears a false oath will be cut off according to what it says on the other side.

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 send it out—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—so it will enter into the house of the thief and into the house of the one that swears falsely by my name. It will remain in his house and consume its timber and stones.”

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 was speaking with me went out and said to me, “Raise your eyes and see what is coming!”

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 I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is a basket containing an ephah that is coming. This is their iniquity in the whole 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 Then a lead covering was lifted off the basket and there was a woman under it sitting in it!

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

8 The angel said, “This is Wickedness!” He threw her back inside the basket, and he threw the lead cover over its opening.

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 I lifted my eyes and saw two women coming toward me, and wind was in their wings—for they had wings like a stork's wings. They lifted up the basket between 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 So I said to the angel who was talking to me, “Where are they taking the basket?”

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

11 He said to me, “To build a temple in the land of Shinar for it, so that when the temple is ready, the basket will be set there on its prepared 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.
