Zechariah 5:5 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 5:5

Then the angel that talked with me went forth
From the place where he was, and had been interpreting the vision of the flying roll, unto another more convenient for showing and explaining the following one; and, as it should seem, took the prophet along with him: and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what [is] this
that goeth forth;
either out of the temple or out of heaven, into some open place, where it might be seen.
