NASB Bible

Zechariah 5

The Flying Scroll

1

Then I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold, there was a flying  ascroll.

2

And he said to me, " aWhat do you see?" And I answered, "I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty  1cubits and its width ten cubits."

3

Then he said to me, "This is the  acurse that is going forth over the face of the whole  1land; surely everyone who  bsteals will be purged away according to  2the writing on one side, and everyone who  cswears will be purged away according to  2the writing on the other side.

4

"I will  amake it go forth," declares the LORD of hosts, "and it will  benter the house of the  cthief and the house of the one who swears falsely by My name; and it will spend the night within that house and  dconsume it with its timber and stones."

5

Then  athe angel who was speaking with me went out and said to me, "Lift up now your eyes and see what this is going forth."

6

I said, "What is it?" And he said, "This is the  1 aephah going forth." Again he said, "This is their  2appearance in all the  3land

7

(and behold, a lead cover was lifted up); and this is a woman sitting inside the ephah."

8

Then he said, "This is  aWickedness!" And he threw her down into the middle of the ephah and cast the lead weight on its  1opening.

9

Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and there two women were coming out with the wind in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a  astork, and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens.

10

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

11

Then he said to me, "To build a  1temple for her in the land of  aShinar; and when it is prepared, she will be set there on her own pedestal."
