A Flying Scroll

¹ Then I lifted up my eyes again and saw, and behold, a flying ^(C1)scroll.² And he said to me, "^(C1)What do you see?" And I said, "I see a flying scroll; its length is ^(F1)twenty cubits and its width ten cubits."³ Then he said to me, "This is the ^(C1)curse that is going forth over the face of the whole ^(F1)land; surely everyone who ^(C2)steals will be ^(F2)purged away according to ^(F3)the writing on one side, and everyone who ^(C3)swears will be ^(F2)purged away according to the writing on the other side.⁴ "I will ^(C1)make it go forth," declares Yahweh of hosts, "and it will ^(C2)enter the house of the ^(C3)thief and the house of the one who swears falsely by My name; and it will spend the night within that house and ^(C4)consume it with its timber and stones."

A Woman in an Ephah

⁵ Then ^(C1)the angel who was speaking with me went out and said to me, "Lift up now your eyes and see what this is going forth."⁶ So I said, "What is it?" And he said, "This is the ^(F1)(C1)ephah going forth." Again he said, "This is their ^(F2)appearance in all the ^(F3)land⁷ (and behold, a lead cover was lifted up); and this is a woman sitting inside the ephah."⁸ Then he said, "This is ^(C1)Wickedness!" And he threw her down into the middle of the ephah and threw the lead weight on its ^(F1)opening.⁹ Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, two women were coming out with the wind in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a ^(C1)stork, and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens.¹⁰ And I said to the angel who was speaking with me, "Where are they taking the ephah?"¹¹ Then he said to me, "To build a ^(F1)house for her in the land of ^(C1)Shinar; and when it is prepared, she will be set there on her own pedestal."
