# This is a basket containing an ephah that is coming

An "ephah" is a unit of measurement for dry materials and is equal to 22 liters. Here the word is a metonym for the container that would hold an ephah of dry material. Alternate translation: "This is a measuring basket that is coming" or "This is a large container that is coming" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-bvolume]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

# This is their iniquity in the whole land

The basket symbolizes the people's iniquity, but it is not literally their iniquity. Alternate translation: "This basket represents the iniquity of the people throughout the whole land" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/writing-symlanguage]])
