Then I
turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and
behold a flying roll.
02 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.
03 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that
goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for
every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on
this side according to it; and every one that
sweareth shall be cut off as on that side
according to it.
04 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 the
timber thereof and the stones thereof.
05 Then the angel that talked with me went forth,
and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see
what is this that goeth forth.

06 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is
an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This
is their resemblance through all the earth.
07 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of
lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the
midst of the ephah.
08 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast
it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the
weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
09 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and,
behold, there came out two women, and the wind
was 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.
10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me,
Whither do these bear the ephah?
11 And he said unto me, To build it an house in
the land of Shinar: and it shall be established,
and set there upon her own base.
