Zech. 5:2 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Zech. 5:1      Zech. 5:3

Zechariah 5:2

He [the angel] asked me, "What do you see?"
I replied, "I see a flying scroll. It is 20 cubits [9 meters] long and 10 cubits [4.5 meters] wide."
[The length measurement of a cubit was approximately 45 cm. The measurement originates from the length of a man's forearm (the distance between the elbow and the middle finger). The length of a scroll was normally 6-10 meters and it consisted of animal skins joined together. The width varies between 23 and 28 cm. The large Isaiah scroll (found in Qumran near the Dead Sea in 1947) is 7.3 meters long and 27 cm wide with 54 columns. The width of the scroll in this vision is unusual! The exact measurement of 20 x 10 cubits is found in the description of the portal on the front of Solomon's temple, see 1 Kings 6:3. Perhaps the scroll covered the entire entrance? It was unusual to unroll the entire text. When reading, both sides were rolled out at the same time, with only two columns visible at a time. Depending on whether the scroll in the vision is seen vertically or horizontally, it could be an open scroll for reading, or a rolled-out scroll that is very wide.]
