5. And the messenger who is speaking with me goeth forth, and saith unto me, `Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see what [is] this that is coming forth?'
6. And I say, `What [is] it?' And he saith, `This--the ephah that is coming forth.' And he saith, `This [is] their aspect in all the land.
7. And lo, a cake of lead lifted up; and this [is] a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah.'
8. And he saith, `This [is] the wicked woman.' And he casteth her unto the midst of the ephah, and casteth the weight of lead on its mouth.
9. And I lift up mine eyes, and see, and lo, two women are coming forth, and wind in their wings; and they have wings like wings of the stork, and they lift up the ephah between the earth and the heavens.
10. And I say unto the messenger who is speaking with me, `Whither [are] they causing the ephah to go?'
11. And he saith unto me, `To build to it a house in the land of Shinar.' And it hath been prepared and hath been placed there on its base.
