Commentary on Zechariah 5:2
Theological / DevotionalHe said. That is, the interpreting angel.
The length. Inasmuch as Zechariah was able to estimate the dimensions, the roll must have appeared entirely open. By modern measure the roll was about 17 by 34 ft.
Inasmuch as these dimensions agree with those of the holy place of the tabernacle (see on Ex. 26:1), and with those of the porch of Solomon’s Temple (1 Kings 6:3), some have sought to show a connection between the “flying roll” and the sanctuary. However, even though the curse sprang from the transgression of the tables of stone containing the Ten Commandments found in the tabernacle and in the Temple of Solomon, there is no way of proving that such a connection was to be represented by the foregoing similarity in dimensions. The roll was of unusual dimensions and contained a very large writing area. The dimensions were therefore probably noted to show the magnitude of the curse.
