5 Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, “Lift your eyes, and see what this is that goes forth.” 6 And I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is the ephah that goes forth.” And he said, “This is their iniquity* in all the land.” 7 And behold, the leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the ephah! 8 And he said, “This is Wickedness.” And he thrust her back into the ephah, and thrust down the leaden weight upon its mouth. 9 Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, two women coming forward! The wind was in their wings; they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between earth and heaven. 10 Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they taking the ephah?” 11 He said to me, “To the land of Shinar, to build a house for it; and when this is prepared, they will set the ephah down there on its base.”
