Chapter 5 Then I turned and lifted up mine eyes and looked, and behold, a flying
roll.
And he said unto me, What seest thou?
And I answered, I see a flying roll, the length thereof is twenty cubits,
and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the
whole earth.
For every one that stealeth shall be cut off, as on this side according to it.
And every one that sweareth shall be cut off, as on that side according to it.
I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house
of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name.
And it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the
timber thereof, and the stones thereof.
Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine
eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.
And I said, What is it?
And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth.
He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.
And behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead, and this is a woman that sitteth
in the midst of the ephah.
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 thereof.
Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and behold, there came out two women,
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.
Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar, and it shall be
established, and set there upon her own base.
