Zechariah 5:10 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 5:10

Then said I to the angel that talked with me;
&c.] This the prophet said after he had seen the "ephah" come forth; the woman, wickedness, cast into it, and the talent of lead upon her; and the two women lifting up the ephah between heaven and earth: Whither do these bear the ephah?
he neither asks what the ephah signified, nor who were the women that bore it, but only whither they bore it.

Zechariah 5:10 In-Context

8 And he said, "This is Wickedness." So he thrust her back into the basket, and pressed the leaden weight down on its mouth.

9 Then I looked up and saw two women coming forward. The wind was in their wings; they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and sky.

10 Then I said to the angel who talked with me, "Where are they taking the basket?"

11 He said to me, "To the land of Shinar, to build a house for it; and when this is prepared, they will set the basket down there on its base."
