The land of Shinar is Iraq, Babylonia. Zecharyah 5 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB) 5 Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and hinei a megillah flying! 2 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered: I see a megillah flying; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits. 3 Then said he unto me, This is ha’alah (the curse) that goeth forth over the face of kol ha’aretz; for every ganav that stealeth shall be purged out [i.e., banished] according to what it says on one side of the megillah; and every perjurer that sweareth falsely shall be purged out according to what it says on the other side. [Shemot 20:15,7] 4 I will send it [ha’alah, the curse] forth, saith Hashem Tzva’os, and it shall enter into the bais haganav, and into the bais of him that sweareth falsely biShmi (by My Name); and it [ha’alah] shall remain inside his bais, and shall destroy it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof. 5 Then the malach that spoke with me came forward, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that cometh into view. 6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the eifah (measuring basket) going out. He said moreover, This is their [i.e., that of ganavim and perjurors] appearance throughout kol ha’aretz. 7 And, hinei, there was lifted up a lead cover; and there was an isha (woman) yoshevet (sitting) inside the eifah (measuring basket)! 8 And he said, This is HaRishah (The Wickedness). And he pushed her inside the eifah; and he pushed the lead cover over the mouth of the eifah. 9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, hinei, there came forth two nashim (women), and the ruach (wind) was in their kenafayim (wings); for they had kenafayim (wings) like the kenafayim of a stork: and they lifted up the eifah between ha’aretz and HaShomayim. 10 Then said I to the malach that spoke with me, Whither are these taking the eifah? 11 And he said unto me, To build it a bais [i.e., ziggurat] in Eretz Shinar (Babylon); and it is shall be placed there and set upon its own base. Zechariah 5 Living Bible (TLB) 5 I looked up again and saw a scroll flying through the air. 2 “What do you see?” he asked. “A flying scroll!” I replied. “It appears to be about thirty feet long and fifteen feet wide!” 3 “This scroll,” he told me, “represents the words of God’s curse going out over the entire land. It says that all who steal and lie have been judged and sentenced to death.” 4 “I am sending this curse into the home of every thief and everyone who swears falsely by my name,” says the Lord Almighty. “And my curse shall remain upon his home and completely destroy it.” 5 Then the angel left me for a while, but he returned and said, “Look up! Something is traveling through the sky!” 6 “What is it?” I asked. He replied, “It is a bushel basket filled with the sin prevailing everywhere throughout the land.” 7 Suddenly the heavy lead cover on the basket was lifted off, and I could see a woman sitting inside the basket! 8 He said, “She represents wickedness,” and he pushed her back into the basket and clamped down the heavy lid again. 9 Then I saw two women flying toward us, with wings like those of a stork. And they took the bushel basket and flew off with it, high in the sky. 10 “Where are they taking her?” I asked the angel. 11 He replied, “To Babylon[a] where they will build a temple for the basket, to worship it!” youtu.be/npvGcziMtUg
