Commentary on Zechariah 5:6

Theological / Devotional

Ephah. A dry measure, equivalent to 5.81 U.S. gal. (22 liters). Since a vessel of this size was not large enough to contain a woman (v. 7), some have suggested that shape rather than volume was the intent of the description.

Resemblance. Literally, “eye.” A change of one letter in the Hebrew gives the translation “iniquity,” the reading found in the LXX and adopted by the RSV.
