The Flying Roll

5¹ And I turn back, and lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a flying roll. ² And he saith unto me, 'What art thou seeing?' And I say, 'I am seeing a flying roll, its length twenty by the cubit, and its breadth ten by the cubit.' ³ And he saith unto me, 'This 'is' the execration that is going forth over the face of all the land, for every one who is stealing, on the one side, according to it, hath been declared innocent, and every one who hath sworn, on the other side, according to it, hath been declared innocent. ⁴ 'I have brought it out—an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts—and it hath come in unto the house of the thief, and unto the house of him who hath sworn in My name to a falsehood, and it hath remained in the midst of his house, and hath consumed it, both its wood and its stones.'

The Woman in the Ephah

⁵ And the messenger who is speaking with me goeth forth, and saith unto me, 'Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see what 'is' this that is coming forth?' ⁶ And I say, 'What 'is' it?' And he saith, 'This—the ephah that is coming forth.' And he saith, 'This 'is' their aspect in all the land. ⁷ And lo, a cake of lead lifted up; and this 'is' a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah.' ⁸ And he saith, 'This 'is' the wicked woman.' And he casteth her unto the midst of the ephah, and casteth the weight of lead on its mouth. ⁹ And I lift up mine eyes, and see, and lo, two women are coming forth, and wind in their wings; and they have wings like wings of the stork, and they lift up the ephah between the earth and the heavens. ¹⁰ And I say unto the messenger who is speaking with me, 'Whither 'are' they causing the ephah to go?' ¹¹ And he saith unto me, 'To build to it a house in the land of Shinar.' And it hath been prepared and hath been placed there on its base.

The Prophet's Vision of Joshua the High Priest

3¹ And he sheweth me Joshua the high priest standing before the messenger of Jehovah, and the Adversary standing at his right hand, to be an adversary to him. ² And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary: 'Jehovah doth push against thee, O Adversary, Yea, push against thee doth Jehovah, Who is fixing on Jerusalem, Is not this a brand delivered from fire?' ³ And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and is standing before the messenger. ⁴ And he answereth and speaketh unto those standing before him, saying: 'Turn aside the filthy garments from off him.' And he saith unto him, 'See, I have caused thine iniquity to pass away from off thee, so as to clothe thee with costly apparel.' ⁵ He also said, 'Let them set a pure diadem on his head. And they set the pure diadem on his head, and clothe him with garments. And the messenger of Jehovah is standing, ⁶ and the messenger of Jehovah doth protest to Joshua, saying: ⁷ 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: If in My ways thou dost walk, And if My charge thou dost keep, Then also thou dost judge My house, And also thou dost keep My courts, And I have given to thee conductors among these standing by.

⁸ Hear, I pray thee, Joshua, the high priest, Thou and thy companions sitting before thee, (For men of type 'are' they,) For lo, I am bringing in My servant—a Shoot. ⁹ For lo, the stone that I put before Joshua, On one stone 'are' seven eyes, Lo, I am graving its graving, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, And I have removed the iniquity of that land in one day. ¹⁰ In that day—an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, Ye do call, each unto his neighbour, Unto the place of the vine, And unto the place of the fig-tree!'
