Zechariah 5

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

Then again I looked up and saw 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; twenty cubits long, ten cubits wide.”

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 over the whole land. Every thief will be banished according to the writing on one side and everyone who lies under oath shall be banished according to the writing 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 have sent it out, says the Lord of hosts, and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of anyone who swears falsely by my name. It will remain in the midst of his house and will consume 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 messenger who talked with me came forward, and said to me, “Look up and see what is now coming.”

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, “It is a measuring basket, full of the guilt of the land.”

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

A round leaden cover was lifted up, and there was a woman sitting in the middle of the 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.” He thrust her down into the midst of the basket and he pushed the round leaden cover back 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 looked up and saw two women, and the wind was in their wings. They had wings like the wings of a stork and they lifted up the basket between them.

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

Then I said to the messenger who talked with me, “Where are they taking the 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, they will rest the basket there.”
