⁵ ¶ Then the angel that talked with me went forth and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes and see what is this that goes forth.

⁶ And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah to measure wheat that goes forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance in all the earth.

⁷ And, behold, they lifted up a talent of lead, and a woman was sitting in the midst of that ephah.

⁸ And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast her into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

⁹ Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens.

¹⁰ Then I said to the angel that talked with me, Where do these bear the ephah?

¹¹ And he said unto me, To build it a house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
