Zechariah 5:5

The Holy Bible, Berean Study Bible

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 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.
