5Then 1the angelH4397 who had been speakingH1696 with me wentH3318 outH3318 and saidH559 to me, “NowH4994 raiseH5375 your eyesH5869 and seeH7200 whatH4100 thisH2088 is that is goingH3318 forthH3318.”
6And I saidH559, “WhatH4100 is it?” Then he saidH559, “ThisH2088 is the 23ephahH374 goingH3318 forthH3318.” Again he saidH559, “ThisH2088 is their 4appearanceH5869 in allH3605 the 5landH776.
7And beholdH2009, a leadH5777 coverH3603 was liftedH5375 upH5375.” He continued, “And thisH2088 is a womanH802 sittingH3427 insideH8432 the ephahH374.”
8Then he saidH559, “ThisH2088 is 6WickednessH7564!” And he thrustH7993 her into the middleH8432 of the ephahH374 and threwH7993 the leadH5777 weightH68 on its 7openingH6310.
