1Then I turned <07725> to look <07200>, and there was a flying <05774> scroll <04039>!
2Someone asked <0559> me, “What <04100> do you <0859> see <07200>?” I replied <0559>, “I <0589> see <07200> a flying <05774> scroll <04039> thirty feet <0520> <06242> long <0753> and fifteen feet <0520> <06235> wide <07341>.”
3The speaker went on to <0413> say <0559>, “This <02063> is a curse <0423> traveling <03318> across <05921> the whole <03605> earth <0776>. For example, according to the curse <02088> whoever <03605> steals <01589> will be removed <05352> from the community; or on the other <03644> hand (according to the curse <02088>) whoever <03605> swears <07650> falsely will suffer <05352> the same fate.”
4“I will send <03318> it out <03318>,” says <05002> the Lord <03069> who rules over all <06635>, “and it will enter <0935> the house <01004> of the thief <01590> and of the person who swears <07650> falsely <08267> in my name <08034>. It will land <03885> in the middle <08432> of his house <01004> and destroy <03615> both timber <06086> and stones <068>.”
5After this the angelic messenger <04397> who had been speaking <01696> to me went out <03318> and said <0559>, “Look <05869> <05375>, see <07200> what <04100> is leaving <03318>.”
6I asked <0559>, “What <04100> is it?” And he <01931> replied <0559>, “It <02063> is a basket for measuring grain <0374> that is moving away <03318> from here.” Moreover, he said <0559>, “This <02063> is their ‘eye <05869>’ throughout all <03605> the earth <0776>.”
7Then a round <03603> lead <05777> cover was raised up <05375>, revealing a <0259> woman <0802> sitting <03427> inside <08432> the basket <0374>.
8He then said <0559>, “This <02063> woman represents wickedness <07564>,” and he pushed <07993> her down <07993> into <08432> <0413> the basket <0374> and placed <07993> the lead <05777> cover <068> on <0413> top <06310>.
9Then I looked <05869> <05375> again and saw <07200> two <08147> women <0802> going forth <03318> with the wind <07307> in their wings <03671> (they <02007> had wings <03671> like those <03671> of a stork <02624>) and they lifted up <05375> the <0853> basket <0374> between <0996> the earth <0776> and the sky <08064>.
10I asked <0559> the messenger <04397> who was speaking <01696> to me, “Where <0575> are they <01992> taking <01980> the basket <0374>?”
11He replied <0559>, “To <0413> build <01129> a temple <01004> for her in the land <0776> of Babylonia <08152>. When it is finished <03559>, she will be placed <03240> there <08033> in <05921> her own residence <04369>.”
