Zechariah 5:10

Study note

Setting — Zechariah addresses the angel who is speaking with him at the moment two women lift a basket between heaven and earth.

The words — אָנָה ('A.nah) means "where?" and מוֹלִכ֖וֹת (mo.li.Khot) means "taking," forming the prophet’s direct question about the basket’s destination.

The thread — The text records Zechariah’s inquiry about the basket’s movement, which immediately connects to the angel’s response in Zechariah 5:11 that the basket will be taken to Shinar.

Why it lands — The verse requires the reader to follow the vision’s logistical progression, shifting focus from the women’s action to the specific location where the basket will be housed.
