Contextual Overview

5Then the angel who was speaking with me came forward and told me, "Now lift up your eyes and see what is approaching." 6"What is it?" I asked. And he replied, "It is a measuring basket that is approaching." Then he continued, "This is their iniquity in all the land." 7And behold, the cover of lead was raised, and there was a woman sitting inside the basket. 8"This is Wickedness," he said. And he shoved her down into the basket, pushing down the lead cover over its opening. 9Then I lifted up my eyes and saw two women approaching, with the wind in their wings. Their wings were like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth. 10"Where are they taking the basket?" I asked the angel who was speaking with me.11"To build a house for it in the land of Shinar," he told me. "And when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its 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.
