Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 5-6 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth. And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.
    • B 7 And, behold, there was lifted up
      • C 7 a talent of lead:
        • D 7 and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
          • E 8 And he said, This is wickedness.
        • D' 8 And he cast it into the midst of the ephah;
      • C' 8 and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
    • B' 9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.
  • A' 10-11 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah? And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
