Then I lifted up my eyes
again
and looked
, and behold
, there was a flying
ascroll
.
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
."
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
.
"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
."
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
."
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
(and behold, a lead
cover
was lifted
up); and this
is a woman
sitting
inside
the ephah
."
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
.
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
.
I said to the angel
who was speaking
with me, "Where
are they taking
the ephah
?"
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
."
