Sixth Vision: The Flying Scroll
1Then I had another vision. I looked up and saw a flying scroll. 2The angel asked me, “What do you see?” I replied, “I see a flying scroll. It looks about thirty-five feet long and seventeen feet wide.” # 5:2 Or “twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide” (about ten meters long and five meters wide). It is difficult to be precise in the length of a cubit. Generally, a standard cubit is believed to be about 17.5 inches or 0.44 meters. A long cubit was a cubit plus a handbreadth (3.5 inches or 90 millimeters); in total about 21 inches or 0.53 meters. Unless otherwise noted, conversions from cubits to modern units in this translation will be calculated using the long cubit measurement. The measurements of the scroll are identical to the measurements of the porch of Solomon’s Temple (see 1 Kings 6:3). 3Then he explained to me its meaning:
“This scroll contains God’s curse against evildoers sweeping over the whole land. On one side of the scroll, it says that the Lord will banish # 5:3 The Hebrew verb found here (naqah) in the Niphal form may carry the underlying sense of “purge” or “empty,” and in this context, “banish” is an appropriate reading. The same translation is employed in the next sentence. every thief. On the other side, it says that he will banish everyone who lies using his name. # 5:3 Or “How long the thief has gone unpunished! How long the perjurer has gone unpunished!” Ezekiel also had a vision of a scroll written on both sides (see Ezek. 2:10). To steal and to speak falsely in God’s name are sins against man and God. They represent some major aspects of the Ten Commandments and, collectively, the whole law. 4Yahweh, Commander of Angel Armies, declares, ‘I will release this curse, and it will enter the house of the thief and of anyone who lies using my name. The curse will remain in his house until it consumes it—walls, beams, and all.’ ”
Seventh Vision: The Woman in a Barrel
5Then the angel who was talking to me appeared and said, “Look at what is coming.” 6I asked, “What is it?” He replied, “It is a barrel, and it is carrying the guilt # 5:6 Although the Hebrew text reads “their eye,” most modern translations follow the Greek and Syriac texts, which have “their iniquity” or “their guilt.” Apparently, these ancient translations are based on a Hebrew text that differs by only one letter from the traditional text. of all the people of the land of Judah.”
7As I looked, the angel removed the heavy lid made of lead from the barrel, and a woman was seated inside. 8The angel said, “This is Lady Wickedness.” # 5:8 Or literally “the Great Disturbance.” In the context, Lady Wickedness is associated with idolatry. And he shoved her back into the barrel and clamped the lead lid over her.
9I looked up and suddenly two women appeared, soaring swiftly in the sky with outstretched wings like those of a stork. They lifted the barrel high in the sky and flew away with it. 10So I asked the angel who was talking to me, “Where are they taking the barrel?”
11He replied, “To the wicked land of Babylon, # 5:11 Or “Shinar,” an ancient, poetical name for Babylonia. where they will build a temple and make a pedestal for it. They will place it there and worship it.” # 5:11 See Rev. 17–18.
