1 Then I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and saw a flying roll.
2 And he said to me, What do you see? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length is twenty cubits, and the breadth ten cubits.
3 Then said he to me, This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole Earth: for everyone who steals shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and everyone who swears shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
4 I will bring it forth, says Jehovah of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber and the stones.
5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up now your eyes, and see what is this that goes forth.
6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goes forth. He said, This is their resemblance through all the Earth.
7 And, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sits in the midst of the ephah.
8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth.
9 Then lifted I up my eyes, and looked, and, out two women came, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the Earth and the heaven.
10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Where do these bear the ephah?
11 And he said to me, To build it a house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
