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!" And he thrust her [back down] into the basket, and threw the lead cover on top of it.

9 And I {looked up} and saw, and look!--two women coming forward, and [the] wind [was] in their wings, and they had wings like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between the earth and the sky.

10 And I asked the angel who was talking to me, "Where [are] they taking the basket?"

11 And he said to me, "To build for it a house in the land of Shinar, and [when] it is put in place, it will be placed there on its site."
