Zechariah:5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then I turned ,
and lifted up my eyes ,
and looked ,
and behold a flying scroll .
*
And he said to me ,
What seest thou ?
And I answered ,
I see a flying scroll ;
its length twenty cubits ,
and its breadth ten cubits .
*
Then said he to me ,
This the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth :
for every one that stealeth shall be cut off on this side according to it ;
and every one that sweareth shall be cut off on that side according to it . (
note :)
every one that stealeth …:
or ,
every one of this people that stealeth holdeth himself guiltless ,
as it doth (:
note )
*
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 .
*
Then the angel that talked with me went forth ,
and said to me ,
Lift up now thy eyes ,
and see what this that goeth forth .
*
And I said ,
What it ?
And he said ,
This an ephah that goeth forth .
He said moreover ,
This their resemblance through all the earth .
*
And ,
behold ,
there was lifted up a talent of lead :
and this a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah . (
note :)
talent :
or ,
weighty piece (:
note )
*
And he said ,
This wickedness .
And he cast it into the midst of the ephah ;
and he cast the weight of lead upon its mouth .
*
Then I lifted up my eyes ,
and looked ,
and ,
behold ,
there came out two women ,
and the wind 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 ,
Where do these bear the ephah ?
*
And he said to me ,
To build for it an house in the land of Shinar :
and it shall be established ,
and set there upon her own base .
