📚 Historical Context

Zechariah was a prophet who ministered around 520 BC to the Jewish people returning from Babylonian exile, encouraging them through visions about God's plans for restoration. In this specific vision, Zechariah questions an angel about the ephah, a large basket symbolizing wickedness, being carried away, which represents God's judgment and the removal of sin from the land. This fits into the broader biblical narrative of purification and covenant faithfulness during the post-exilic period.
