A Vision of a Woman in a Basket (ZEC 5:5-11)

[5:5] Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, “Lift your eyes and see what this is that is going out.”

[5:6] And I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is the basket that is going out.” And he said, “This is their iniquity in all the land.”

[5:7] And behold, the leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the basket!

[5:8] And he said, “This is Wickedness.” And he thrust her back into the basket, and thrust down the leaden weight on its opening.

[5:9] Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, two women coming forward! The wind was in their wings. They had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.

[5:10] Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they taking the basket?”

[5:11] He said to me, “To the land of Shinar, to build a house for it. And when this is prepared, they will set the basket down there on its base.”
