Commentary on Zechariah 5:1

Theological / Devotional

I turned. In the sixth vision (vs. 1-4), by means of a flying roll, Zechariah is shown how God will deal with those in Israel who refuse the “change of raiment” (ch. 3:4) and who rebel against the leadership of His Spirit (ch. 4:6). See on ch. 1:8.

Flying. Probably intended to signify that it was accomplishing its work.

Roll. For a description of ancient writing materials see Vol. I, p. 31. The roll, or scroll, that Zechariah saw was probably made of leather. Inasmuch as the roll is declared to be “the curse,” it is assumed that it contained writing.
