The Flying Scroll |
Zechariah 5:1-11 The Book of Zechariah [in Smaller Chunks] |
Then, I turned & [raised] up [my] eyes, & looked, & [saw] a flying roll, [a.k.a. scroll.] And he said to me, What [do] you [see?] And I answered, I see a flying [scroll;] the length [of it] is 20 cubits, & [its width] [is] 10 cubits. |
Then, he said to me, This is the curse that goes [out] over the [surface] of the whole earth. For everyone [who] steals shall be cut off, according to this side [of] [the scroll.] And everyone, [who] swears shall be cut off, according to that side [of] [the scroll.] |
[Leviticus 19:11-13 You shall not steal, neither [shall you:] deal falsely, & neither [shall you] lie to one another. And you shall not swear by My Name falsely, & neither shall you [defile] the Name of your God: I AM the Lord. You shall not defraud your neighbor, & neither [shall you] rob him. The wages of him, [who] is hired, shall not [stay] with you all night, until the morning.] |
The Lord of Hosts says, I will [carry] it [out] & [the curse] shall enter into the house of the thief, & into the house of him, [who] swears falsely by My Name. [Leviticus 14:43-45 And if the plague [comes] again, & [breaks] out in the house, after he [has;] taken away the stones; scraped the house, & after it is plastered; then, the priest shall come & look, & [see.] |
If the plague [has] spread in the house, it is [an active] leprosy in the house. It is unclean. And he shall break down the house, the stones of it; the timber of it; & all the [mortar] of the house. And he shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.] |
And it shall remain in the midst of his house, & shall consume it with [its] timber & [its] stones. [Malachi 3:5 And I will come near to you for judgment. And I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers; adulterers; [those who] [swear falsely;] & those, [who] oppress the: [hired worker with] his wages; the widow, & the fatherless. And turn aside the [foreigner] from his [rights,] & [those who don't] fear [respect] Me, says the Lord of Hosts.] |
Then, the Angel, [who] talked with me went [out] & said to me, Now, lift up your eyes, & see what this is that goes [out.] And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah, [a.k.a. basket for measuring,] that goes [out.] He [also] said, This is their resemblance through [out] all the earth. |
And, [look,] there was [a lid of a basket] lifted up [weighing:] a talent of lead. And [there was] a woman, [who sat] in the [middle] of the ephah, [basket.] And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast [her,] into the [middle] of the ephah, [basket.] And he [covered] the mouth [of the ephah basket, with the lid] of lead. |
Then, [I] raised up [my] eyes, & looked, & [saw,] 2 women came out [of] there. And the wind was [within] their wings. For they had wings like the wings of a stork. And they lifted up the ephah, [basket,] between the earth & heaven. |
[Jeremiah 8:7 [Yes,] the stork in the [heavens] knows her appointed times. And the turtle, the crane, & the swallow observe the time of their [migration;] but My people [don't] know the judgment of the Lord.] |
Then, I said to the Angel, [who] talked with me, [Where are] these [carrying] the ephah, [basket?] And he said to me, To build [a] house [for it] in the land of Shinar, [a.k.a. Babylon.] And it shall be established, [a.k.a. made stable,] [it shall sit] there upon [its] own base. |
[Jeremiah 29:27-28 Therefore, why haven't you now [chastised,] Jeremiah, of Anathoth, [who] makes himself a prophet to you? [For the reason that] He sent to us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long. Build [yourselves] houses & [live] in them. And plant gardens, & eat the fruit of them.] |
