Expanded Bible

The Vision of the Woman

⁵ Then the ·angel [messenger] who was talking with me came forward and said to me, “·Look up [^LLift up your eyes] and see what is ·going out [or coming; appearing].”

⁶ “What is it?” I asked.

He answered, “It is a ·measuring basket [^Lephah] going out.” He also said, “It is ·a symbol of the people’s sins [^Ltheir iniquity; or their appearance; ^Ltheir eye] in all the land.”

⁷ Then the lid made of lead was raised, and there was a woman sitting inside the basket.
