Zechariah 5 - Hebrew Names version (HNV)

¹ Then again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a flying scroll.

² He said to me, *What do you see?* I answered, *I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its breadth ten cubits.*

³ Then he said to me, *This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land; for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it on the one side; and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off according to it on the other side.

⁴ I will cause it to go out,* says the LORD of Armies, *and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the midst of his house, and will destroy it with its timber and its stones.*

⁵ Then the angel who talked with me came forward, and said to me, *Lift up now your eyes, and see what is this that is appearing.*

⁶ I said, *What is it?* He said, *This is the efah basket that is appearing.* He said moreover, *This is their appearance in all the land

⁷ (and behold, a talent of lead was lifted up); and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the efah basket.*

⁸ He said, *This is Wickedness;* and he threw her down into the midst of the efah basket; and he threw the weight of lead on its mouth.

⁹ Then lifted I up my eyes, and saw, and behold, there were two women, and the wind was in their wings. Now they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the efah basket between earth and the sky.

¹⁰ Then said I to the angel who talked with me, *Where are these carrying the efah basket?*

¹¹ He said to me, *To build her a house in the land of Shin`ar. When it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place.*
