And he said, "This is Wickedness," and he thrust her back into the barrel, and thrust the leaden cover upon the mouth of it. And I lifted up mine eyes and looked, and lo, two women came forth with the wind in their wings, and they bore the barrel betwixt earth and heaven.
And I said to the angel that talked with me, "Whither do they carry the barrel?"
And he said to me, "To build it a house in the land of Shinar, that it may be fixed and brought to rest there in a place of its own."

THE VISION OF THE CHARIOTS OF THE FOUR WINDS
(The four chariots of the four winds go forth to guard the boundaries of the land from all threatening foes.)
And again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass. In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled bay horses. [{407}]
Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"
And the angel answered and said unto me, "These are the four winds of heaven, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth." The chariot wherein are the black horses goeth forth toward the north country; and the white went forth after them; and the dappled went forth toward the south country. And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, "Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth." So they walked to and fro through the earth.
