V. Then I turned, and lift up mine eyes, and looked, and behold, a flying aroll. 2 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. 3 Then said he unto me,

This is bthe curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth:

For * cevery one that stealeth dshall be cut off as eon this side according to it;

And gevery one that sweareth dshall be cut off as eon that side according to it.

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 ghhim that sweareth hfalsely by my name:

And iit shall remain in the midst of his house,

And jshall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.

5 Then kthe angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth. 6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is lan ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their mresemblance through all the earth. 7 And behold, there was lift up a * ntalent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah. 8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast othe weight of lead upon the mouth thereof. 9 Then lift I up mine eyes, and looked, and behold, there came out two women, and pthe wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of qa stork: and they lift up the ephah between the earth and the heaven. 10 Then said I to kthe angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah? 11 And he said unto me, To build it a house in rthe land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
