Zechariah 5:5-11

5Then 1the angel who had been speaking with me went out and said to me, “Now raise your eyes and see what this is that is going forth.”

6And I said, “What is it?” Then he said, “This is the 23ephah going forth.” Again he said, “This is their 4appearance in all the 5land.

7And behold, a lead cover was lifted up.” He continued, “And this is a woman sitting inside the ephah.”

8Then he said, “This is 6Wickedness!” And he thrust her into the middle of the ephah and threw the lead weight on its 7opening.

9Then I raised 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 the 8stork, and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens.

10So I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the ephah?”

11Then he said to me, “To build a 9temple for her in the land of 10Shinar; and when it is prepared, she will be set there on her own pedestal.”
