A Flying Scroll
I looked up again and saw a scroll flying through the air.
I looked up again and saw a scroll flying through the air.
The Flying Scroll
And I lifted up mine eyes again, and saw, and behold, a flying roll.
And I lifted up mine eyes again, and saw, and behold, a flying roll.
And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I see a flying roll: the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
Then he said to me, “This scroll contains the curse that is going out over the entire land. One side of the scroll says that those who steal will be banished from the land; the other side says that those who swear falsely will be banished from the land.
And he said unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole land: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off according to it on this side; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off according to it on that side.
And this is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies says: I am sending this curse into the house of every thief and into the house of everyone who swears falsely using my name. And my curse will remain in that house and completely destroy it — even its timbers and stones.”
I will cause it to go forth, saith Jehovah 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 lodge in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
A Woman in a Basket
Then the angel who was talking with me came forward and said, “Look up and see what’s coming.”
The Woman in a Basket
And 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.
And 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.
And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goeth forth. And he said, This is their resemblance in all the land.
Then the heavy lead cover was lifted off the basket, and there was a woman sitting inside it.
And behold, there was lifted up a round plate of lead; and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
The angel said, “The woman’s name is Wickedness,” and he pushed her back into the basket and closed the heavy lid again.
And he said, This is Wickedness: and he cast her into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
Then I looked up and saw two women flying toward us, gliding on the wind. They had wings like a stork, and they picked up the basket and flew into the sky.
And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork; and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens.
“Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel.
And I said to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these carry the ephah?
