Zechariah:5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And I again lifted up my eyes ,
and looked ,
and behold there was a flying roll .
*
And he said unto me ,
What seest thou ?
And I answered ,
I see a flying roll ,
its length is twenty cubits ,
and its breadth ten cubits .
*
Then said he unto me ,
This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of all the earth ;
for every one that stealeth as it is on this side shall be in an equal degree entirely destroyed ,
as also every one that sweareth as it is on that side shall be likewise entirely destroyed .
*
I 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 .
*
Then went forth the angel that spoke with me ,
and said unto me ,
Do but lift up thy 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 appearance through all the earth .
*
And ,
behold ,
there was lifted up a heavy of lead :
and there was a certain woman sitting in the midst of the ephah .
*
And he said ,
This is the wickedness .
And he cast her into the midst of the ephah ;
and he cast the weighty lead cover upon the mouth thereof .
*
Then did I lift up my eyes ,
and looked ,
and ,
behold ,
there came out two women ,
having the wind in their wings ,
and 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 spoke with me ,
Whither are these bearing away the ephah ?
*
And he said unto me ,
To build for it a house in the land of Shin
ar :
and when this is erected ,
then will the other be set there upon its own base .
