Contextual Overview

5 Then the angel who was talking with me came forward and said to me, "Look up and see what is going out." 6 "What is it?" I asked. He answered, "It is a measuring basket going out." He also said, "It is a symbol of the people's sins in all the land." 7 Then the lid made of lead was raised, and there was a woman sitting inside the basket. 8 The angel said, "The woman stands for wickedness." Then he pushed her back into the basket and put the lid back down. 9 Then I looked up and saw two women going out with the wind in their wings. Their wings were like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and the sky. 10 I asked the angel who was talking with me, "Where are they taking the basket?" 11 "They are going to Babylonia to build a temple for it," he answered. "When the temple is ready, they will set the basket there in its place."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then the angel that talked with me went forth,.... From the place where he was, and had been interpreting the vision of the flying roll, unto another more convenient for showing and explaining the following one; and, as it should seem, took the prophet along with him:

and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what [is] this that goeth forth; either out of the temple or out of heaven, into some open place, where it might be seen.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Then the angel went forth - From the choirs of angels, among whom, in the interval, he had retired, as before (Zephaniah 2:3 (7 Hebrew)) he had gone forth to meet another angel.
