6
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
7
(and behold, a talent of lead was lifted up); and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah basket."

He said, "This is Wickedness;" and he threw her down into the midst of the ephah basket; and he threw the weight of lead on its mouth.
