Zech. 5:1–4 The sixth vision is of a gigantic scroll, 30 by 15 feet (9 by 4.5 m), flying in midair. The scroll is a covenant document, like the tablets Moses received from the Lord in Ex. 32:15. Its task is to bring the covenant curses to bear on covenant breakers. It uses everyone who steals and everyone who swears falsely as representative examples (Zech. 5:3). All covenant breakers will be cleaned out from the community.
Zech. 5:5–11 The seventh vision is closely linked to the sixth. It adds exile to the threat of destruction.
Zech. 5:6–7 The prophet saw a basket holding about three-fifths of a bushel. Inside this small container was their iniquity in all the land, personified as a woman. She was trapped in the basket by a circular leaden cover weighing roughly 75 pounds (34 kg).
Zech. 5:8 The vision includes the removal of all wickedness from the land (see 3:9). Wickedness is under God’s power and authority: the angel thrust the woman back into the basket, and thrust down the leaden weight on its opening, not allowing her to escape.
Zech. 5:11 The basket of wickedness, lifted up by the two women (v. 9), is to be taken to a new location in the land of Shinar (Babylon). There a house, or temple, will be built for it. All idolaters will be removed and will never again trouble God’s people.
