The flying scroll the speaker sees

말하는 이가 본 날아가는 두루마리

Zechariah 5:1–4: the speaker (“I”) says, “Then again I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll.” The text goes on, “He said to me, ‘What do you see?’ I answered, ‘I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.’ Then he said to me, ‘This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land, for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it on the one side; and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off according to it on the other side. I will cause it to go out,’ says the LORD of Armies, ‘and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the middle of his house, and will destroy it with its timber and its stones.’” Neither edition names who “he” is in 5:2–3. The Korean Revised Version has no word for “falsely” at 5:3 (무릇 맹세하는 자는), and at 5:4 reads 내가 이것을 발하였나니 in the past, where WEB reads “I will cause it to go out”.
