The Woman in an Ephah

5 Then the messenger who talked with me came forward, and said to me, ‘Look up and see what is now coming.’ 6 I said. ‘What is it?’ He said, ‘It is a measuring basket, full of the guilt of the land.’ 7 A round leaden cover was lifted up, and there was a woman sitting in the middle of the basket. 8 He said, ‘This is Wickedness.’ He thrust her down into the midst of the basket and he pushed the round leaden cover back on its mouth. 9 Then I looked up and saw two women, and the wind was in their wings. They had wings like the wings of a stork and they lifted up the basket between them. 10 Then I said to the messenger who talked with me, ‘Where are they taking the basket?’ 11 He said to me, ‘To build her a house in the land of Shinar. When it is prepared, they will rest the basket there.’
