Charles Ellicott Commentary Zechariah 5:1

"Then again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a flying roll." — Zechariah 5:1 (ASV)

Then I turned ... eyes. —Better, And I again lifted up my eyes. .

Flying roll. —A scroll floating in the air. The form of the vision seems to be suggested by Ezekiel 2:9-10. The Septuagint, omitting the final ah of the word for “scroll,” renders δρέπανον, “sickle.”
