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.

Zechariah 5:5 In-Context

3 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.

4 I will bring it forth , saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.

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 goeth forth .

6 And I said , What is it? And he said , This is an ephah that goeth forth . He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.

7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
