7. And behold, a round, flat weight of lead was lifted and there sat a woman in the midst of the ephah[-sized vessel].
8. And he said, This is lawlessness (wickedness)! And he thrust her back into the ephah[-sized vessel] and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth of it!
9. Then lifted I up my eyes and looked, and behold, there were two women coming forward! The wind was in their wings, for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah[-sized vessel] between the earth and the heavens.
10. Then said I to the angel who talked with me, Where are they taking the ephah[-sized vessel]?
11. And he said to me, To the land of Shinar [Babylonia] to build it a house, and when it is finished, to set up the ephah[-sized vessel–the symbol of such sinners and their guilt] there upon its own base.
