Ezekiel 8:3-5
EasyEnglish Bible
3 He put out something in the shape of a hand. He took hold of the hair on my head. Then the Spirit lifted me up, high in the sky, and took me to Jerusalem.[a] This happened in the vision which God gave to me. I came to the north gate of the temple's inside yard. In that place there was a disgusting idol that made God very angry. 4 Then I saw that the bright glory of Israel's God was there. It was like the glory that I had seen beside the River Kebar.
5 Then the Lord said to me, ‘Son of man, look up towards the north.’ When I looked, I saw the disgusting idol. It stood at the entrance, on the north side of the altar gate.

New International Version
3 He stretched out what looked like a hand(A) and took me by the hair of my head. The Spirit lifted me up(B) between earth and heaven and in visions(C) of God he took me to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court,(D) where the idol that provokes to jealousy(E) stood. 4 And there before me was the glory(F) of the God of Israel, as in the vision I had seen in the plain.(G)
5 Then he said to me, “Son of man, look toward the north.” So I looked, and in the entrance north of the gate of the altar I saw this idol(H) of jealousy.
