 - This is an ephah.
  "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.

VERSE 9 
 - for.
   * De 28:49 Da 9:26,27 Ho 8:1 Mt 24:28

VERSE 10 
 - Whither.
  Perhaps the departure of the woman in the {ephah} represents
  an aspect of the cleansing of the land (Jer 7:11; Eze 39:12;
  Joh 2:16) of the union of evil commercialism and apostate
  religion.

   * :10

VERSE 11 
 - To.
   * De 28:59 Jer 29:28 Ho 3:4 Lu 21:24
- the land.
