This is an ephah3 parallels

"The meaning of this vision ," says Archbishop Newcome , "seems to be , that the Babylonish captivity had happened on account of the wickedness of the Jews , and that a like dispersion would befall them if they relapsed into like crimes." The woman who sat in the ephah was an emblem of the Jewish nation; the casting the weight of lead on the mouth of the ephah seems to mean the condemnation of the Jews , after they had filled up the measure of their iniquities by crucifying the Messiah; the "two women , with wings like a stork , and the wind in their wings ," seem emblematical of the Roman armies and the rapidity of their conquests; and their lifting up the ephah and carrying it through the air , to build it a house in Shinar or Babylon , where it was fixed on its own basis , represents the taking of Jerusalem , the dispersion of the Jews , and the long continuance of that calamity , as a just punishment of their unbelief
