Zechariah 5 — Context

5

Vision Seven: The Ephah After this the angelic messenger who had been speaking to me went out and said,“Look, see what is leaving.”

6

I asked,“What is it?” And he replied,“It is a basket for measuring grain that is moving away from here.” Moreover, he said,“This is their‘eye’ throughout all the earth.”

7

Then a round lead cover was raised up, revealing a woman sitting inside the basket.

8

He then said,“This woman represents wickedness,” and he pushed her down into the basket and placed the lead cover on top.

9

Then I looked again and saw two women going forth with the wind in their wings(they had wings like those of a stork) and they lifted up the basket between the earth and the sky.

10

I asked the messenger who was speaking to me,“Where are they taking the basket?”

11

He replied,“To build a temple for her in the land of Babylonia. When it is finished, she will be placed there in her own residence.”
