1And I turned I lifted my eyes and I saw a scroll that was flying 2And he said to me: ”What have you seen?” And I said: ”I saw a scroll that was flying; its length twenty cubits and its width ten cubits” 3And he said to me: “This is a curse that goes out over the face of all the Earth, because everyone who steals from it, according to it he will be overcome, and everyone who swears by it, according to it he is overcome 4I shall bring it out, says LORD JEHOVAH of Hosts, and it shall enter the house of the thief and the house of everyone who swears by my name in falsehood, and it shall dwell within his house and it shall consume its wood and its stone”

5And the Angel who spoke with me went out and he said to me: “Lift your eyes and see what this is that goes out” 6And I said: “What is this?” And he said to me: “This is a measure that goes out, and in it are the debts of all the Earth!” 7And behold, a talent of lead was lifted up, and one woman was sitting inside the measure 8And he said to me: ”This is sin”, and he cast her inside the measure and he cast the talent of lead upon its mouth 9And I lifted my eyes and I saw, and behold, two women came forth and the wind was in their wings, and they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they took the measure between Earth and Heaven 10And I said to the Angel who spoke to me: “Where are they carrying the measure?” 11And he said to me: ”They shall build a house for it in the land of Babel, and they shall construct it and they shall set it there on its foundation.”
