1 Then I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold a flying scroll.
2 And he said unto me, What see you? And I answered, I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its breadth ten cubits.
3 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that steals shall be cut off according to the writing on this side; and every one that swears falsely shall be cut off according to the writing on that side.
4 I will bring it forth,
5 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.
6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the basket that goes forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.
7 And, behold, there was lifted up a cover of lead: and there was a woman that sits in the midst of the basket.
8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast her into the midst of the basket; and he cast the cover of lead upon its mouth.
9 Then I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.
10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, where do these take the basket?
11 And he said unto me, To build it a house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon its own base.
