5. Then the messenger speaking with me came forward and said,"Look up and see what’s approaching."
6. I said, "What’s this?"He said, "This is the basket that is going out.This is how it appears throughout the entire land."
7. Then a lead cover was lifted,showing a woman sitting in the middle of the basket.
8. He said, "This is wickedness."He shoved her back into the basket,and he put the lead stone over its opening.
9. I looked up again and saw two women going out.There was a wind in their wings;their wings were like the wings of a stork.They carried the basket between the earth and the sky.
10. I said to the messenger speaking with me,"Where are they taking the basket?"
11. He said to me,"To build a house for it in the land of Shinar.It will be firmly placed there on its base."
