BrLXXΚαὶ εἶπα, τί ἐστι; καὶ εἶπε, τοῦτο τὸ μέτρον τὸ ἐκπορευόμενον· καὶ εἶπεν, αὕτη ἡ ἀδικία αὐτῶν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ.
   (Kai eipa, ti esti; kai eipe, touto to metron to ekporeuomenon; kai eipen, hautaʸ haʸ adikia autōn en pasaʸ taʸ gaʸ. )

BrTrAnd I said, What is it? And he said, This is the measure that goes forth. And he said, This is their iniquity in all the earth.

ULTAnd I said, “What is it?” And he said, “This is the measuring basket that is coming.” And he said, “This is their iniquity in the whole land.”[fn]


Some ancient and most modern versions have their iniquity. The Hebrew text has their eye, but this is widely thought to be an error.

USTI asked him, “What is it?”
¶ He replied, “It is a big barrel for measuring grain. But it contains a record of the sins that everyone in this nation has committed.”

BSB  § “What is it?” I asked.
§ And he replied, “A measuring basket [fn] is going forth.” Then he continued, “This is their iniquity [fn] in all the land.”


5:6 Or An ephah

5:6 One Hebrew manuscript, LXX, and Syriac; most Hebrew manuscripts their appearance or (literally) their eye


OEBI said. ‘What is it?’ He said, ‘It is a measuring basket, full of the guilt of the land.’

WEBBEI said, “What is it?”
¶ He said, “This is the ephah[fn] basket that is appearing.” He said moreover, “This is their appearance in all the land—


5:6 An ephah is a measure of volume of about 22 litres, 5.8 U. S. gallons, or about 2/3 of a bushel.

WMBBI said, “What is it?”
¶ He said, “This is the efah[fn] basket that is appearing.” He said moreover, “This is their appearance in all the land—


5:6 An efah is a measure of volume of about 22 litres, 5.8 U. S. gallons, or about 2/3 of a bushel.

NETI asked, “What is it?” And he replied, “It is a basket for measuring grain that is moving away from here.” Moreover, he said, “This is their ‘eye’ throughout all the earth.”

LSVAnd I say, “What [is] it?” And he says, “This—the ephah that is coming forth.” And he says, “This [is] their aspect in all the land.

FBV“What is it?” I asked.
¶ “What you see moving away is a barrel[fn] full of the sins[fn] of everyone in the country,”[fn] he replied.


5:6 Literally, “ephah,” a container for measuring grain; sometimes translated “basket.” However, in this case it obviously needs to be large enough to hold a woman inside (5:7), so the word barrel has been used for translation.

5:6 Septuagint reading. The Hebrew text currently reads “eye,” but this is hard to understand in this context, and the revised reading is only one letter different in the Hebrew.

5:6 The country of Judah.

T4TI asked him, “What is it?”
¶ He replied, “It is a big basket for measuring grain. But it represents the sins that everyone in this nation has committed.”

LEBAnd I asked, “What is it?” And he said, “This is a basket[fn] going out. And he said, “This is their iniquity[fn] throughout all the earth.


5:6 Or “an ephah,” a measure of grain

5:6 Hebrew “eye”; other ancient versions (LXX, Syriac) read “iniquity”

BBEAnd I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah which is going out. And he said further, This is their evil-doing in all the land.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

5:6 The basket (Hebrew ephah) was a standard unit of dry measure, approximately ½ bushel. The Old Testament prophets’ condemnation of unjust ephahs creates a natural association between the ephah basket and evil (see Ezek 45:10; Mic 6:10).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-bvolume

(Occurrence 0) This is a basket containing an ephah that is coming

(Some words not found in UHB: and,asked what? she/it and=he/it_said this(f) the,basket the,going_out and=he/it_said this(f) iniquity,their in=all the=earth/land )

An “ephah” is a unit of measurement for dry materials and is equal to 22 liters. Alternate translation: “This is a measuring basket that is coming”

Note 2 topic: writing-symlanguage

(Occurrence 0) This is their iniquity in the whole land

(Some words not found in UHB: and,asked what? she/it and=he/it_said this(f) the,basket the,going_out and=he/it_said this(f) iniquity,their in=all the=earth/land )

The basket symbolizes the people’s iniquity, but it is not literally their iniquity. Alternate translation: “This basket represents the iniquity of the people throughout the whole land”
