Zechariah 5:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Zechariah 5:9

7 Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket”;

8 then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead¹ cover over its mouth.

9 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a ^astork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.

10 So I said to the ^aangel who talked with me, “Where are they carrying the basket?”

11 And he said to me, “To ^abuild a house for it in ^bthe land of Shinar; when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its base.”
