5. The angel appeared again and said, “Look! Something else is coming!”
6. “What is it?” I asked.He replied, “It is a basket, and it stands for the sin of the whole land.”
7. The basket had a lid made of lead. As I watched, the lid was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman!
8. The angel said, “This woman represents wickedness.” Then he pushed her down into the basket and put the lid back down.
9. I looked up and saw two women flying towards me with powerful wings like those of a stork. They picked up the basket and flew off with it.
10. I asked the angel, “Where are they taking it?”
11. He answered, “To Babylonia, where they will build a temple for it. When the temple is finished, the basket will be placed there to be worshipped.”
