Contextual Overview

5Then the angel who was speaking with me came forward and said to me, "Now look up and see what this is going forth." 6And I said, "What is it?" And he said, "This is the ephah (grain basket) going forth. This," he continued, "is their appearance throughout the land 7(and behold, a [round, flat] lead cover was lifted up); and there sat a woman inside the ephah." 8Then he said, "This is Wickedness (Godlessness)!" And he threw her back down into the middle of the ephah and threw the lead cover on its opening. 9Then I looked up, and there were two women coming out with the wind in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens. 10I said to the angel who was speaking with me, "Where are they taking the ephah?"11And he said to me, "To the land of Shinar (Babylon) to build a temple for her; and when it is prepared, she shall be set there on her own pedestal."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then said I to the angel that talked with me;.... 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.
