Zechariah 5:7
_ _ lifted up — The cover is lifted off the ephah to let the prophet see the female personification of “wickedness” within, about to be removed from Judea. The cover being “of lead,” implies that the “woman” cannot escape from the ponderous load which presses her down.
_ _ talent — literally, “a round piece”: hence a talent, a weight of one hundred twenty-five pounds troy.
_ _ woman — for comparison of “wickedness” to a woman, Proverbs 2:16; Proverbs 5:3, Proverbs 5:4. In personifying abstract terms, the feminine is used, as the idea of giving birth to life is associated with woman. |
Zechariah 5:7
And behold — Here is another part of this vision. Lifted up — Brought thither to cover it. A talent — A piece of lead of a talent weight, as large as the mouth of the ephah. A woman — A woman, the third in the vision. Perhaps this vision was purposely obscure, least a plain denunciation of the second overthrow of the state and temple, might discourage them from going forward in the present restoration of them. |
