Zechariah 5

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

And he said to me, “What are you seeing?” And I said, “I am seeing a flying scroll. Its length is 20 cubits and its width is ten cubits.” \*

And he said to me, “This {is} the curse that is going out over the face of all of the earth, for everyone who is stealing from this {side,} according to it, has been cleared, and everyone who is swearing from this {side,} according to it, has been cleared.

I have brought it out”—the declaration of God of Armies—“and it will come to the house of the thief and to the house of the one swearing by my name to falsehood. And it will spend the night in the midst of his house and will consume it, and its timbers, and its stones.” \*

And the angel who was speaking with me went out, and he said to me, “Lift up now your eyes and see what this {is} that is going out.”

And I said, “What {is} it?” And he said, “This {is} the ephah that is going out.” And he said, “This {is} their eye in all of the earth.”

And behold, a disk of lead was being lifted up, and this {was} one woman sitting in the midst of the ephah. \*

And he said, “This {is} the wickedness.” And he threw her into the midst of the ephah, and he threw the stone of lead to its mouth.

And I lifted up my eyes and I saw, and behold, two women were going out, and wind {was} in their wings. And they had wings like the wings of the stork. And they lifted up the ephah between the earth and between the heavens. \*

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

And he said to me, “To build for her a house in the land of Shinar. And it will be established, and she will be set down there on her base.” \*
