Zecharyah 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.

Zecharyah 5:10 In-Context

8 And he said, This is HaRishah (The Wickedness). And he pushed her inside the eifah; and he pushed the lead cover over the mouth of the eifah.
9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, hinei, there came forth two nashim (women), and the ruach (wind) was in their kenafayim (wings); for they had kenafayim (wings) like the kenafayim of a stork: and they lifted up the eifah between ha’aretz and HaShomayim.
10 Then said I to the malach that spoke with me, Whither are these taking the eifah?
11 And he said unto me, To build it a bais [i.e., ziggurat] in Eretz Shinar (Babylon); and it is shall be placed there and set upon its own base.
