THEN I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
And he said unto me, What do you see? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth: for everyone that steals is innocent according to her; and everyone that swears is innocent according to her.
I will bring her forth, says Yahuah Tseva'oth, and she shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that swears falsely by my name: and she shall remain in the midst of this house, and she shall finish it, its timber and its stones.
Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now your eyes, and see what is this that goes forth.
And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the measure that goes forth. He said moreover, This is how they appear through all the earth.
And, behold, there was lifted up a disk of lead: and there a fire sits in the midst of the measure.
And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the measure; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
Then lifted I up my eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two of them, the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up their measure between the earth and the heavens.
Then said I to the angel that talked with me, where are they causing the measure to go?
And he said unto me, To build it a house in the land of Shin'ar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
