The Vision of the Woman in the Basket (ZEC 5:5-11)

[5:5] The angel appeared again and said, “Look! Something else is coming!”

[5:6] “What is it?” I asked. He replied, “It is a basket, and it stands for the sin of the whole land.”

[5:7] The basket had a lid made of lead. As I watched, the lid was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman!

[5:8] The angel said, “This represents wickedness.” Then he pushed her down into the basket and put the lid back down.

[5:9] I looked up and saw two women flying toward me with powerful wings like those of a stork. They picked up the basket and flew off with it.

[5:10] I asked the angel, “Where are they taking it?”

[5:11] He answered, “To Babylonia, where they will build a temple for it. When the temple is finished, the basket will be placed there to be worshiped.”
