The flying scroll
5
📚✭Then I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and looked, and saw a flying scroll.2 📚And he said to me, “What do you see?” And 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 face of the whole earth: according to one side of it, everyone who steals will be banished; and according to the other side of it, everyone who commits perjury✭ will be banished✭. 4 📚✭‘I will send it out’, says the LORD of hosts, ‘and it will enter the house of the thief, and the house of the one who swears falsely by my name, and it will remain inside his house, and consume it along with its wood and its stones✭.’ ”

5 📚✭Then the angel who talked with me went out, and said to me, “Now raise your eyes, and see what this is that is going out”.
6 📚✭And I said, “What is it?” And he said, “This is an ephah✭ that is going out”. He also said, “This is their appearance throughout the earth✭”.
7 📚And then a slab of lead was raised, and this woman was sitting in the middle of the ephah. 8 📚And he said, “This is wickedness”. And he shoved her into the middle of the ephah, and pushed the lead weight over its mouth.
9 📚Then I raised my eyes, looked and saw two women coming with 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 heavens.
10 Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they carrying the ephah?”
11 📚And he said to me, “To build a house for it in the land of Shinar✭. When it is prepared, it will be placed there on its own base”.
