5:1 Then I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold
a flying roll.
5:2 And he said to me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a
flying roll; its length [is] twenty cubits, and its breadth ten
cubits.
5:3 Then said he to 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.
5:4 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 its timber and
its stones.
5:5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said to
me, Lift up now thy eyes, and see what [is] this that goeth
forth.
5:6 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.
5:7 And behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this
[is] a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
5:8 And he said, This [is] wickedness. And he cast it into the
midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon its
mouth.
5:9 Then I lifted up my 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.
5:10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do
these bear the ephah?
5:11 And he said to me, To build for it a house in the land of
Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own
base.
