The ephah basket and the woman the speaker sees

말하는 이가 본 에바와 한 여인

Zechariah 5:5–11: the angel who talked with the speaker (“I”) comes forward and says to him, “Lift up now your eyes and see what this is that is appearing.” The text goes on, “I said, ‘What is it?’ He said, ‘This is the ephah basket that is appearing.’ He said moreover, ‘This is their appearance in all the land—and behold, a lead cover weighing one talent was lifted up—and there was a woman sitting in the middle of the ephah basket.’ He said, ‘This is Wickedness;’ and he threw her down into the middle of the ephah basket; and he threw the lead weight on its mouth. Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, there were two women; and the wind was in their wings. Now they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah basket between earth and the sky. Then I said to the angel who talked with me, ‘Where are these carrying the ephah basket?’ He said to me, ‘To build her a house in the land of Shinar. When it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place.’” Neither edition names who “he” is at 5:6 and 5:8. In WEB the lifting of the lead and the woman both stand in his words, the lead first and “weighing one talent”; the Korean Revised Version gives the woman in his words (이 에바 가운데에는 한 여인이 앉았느니라) and the lifting of a round piece of lead in the narration (하는 동시에 둥근 납 한 조각이 들리더라), the woman first and with no talent. It reads 학 where WEB reads “stork” (5:9).
