⁴ The glory^(A) of the Lord entered the temple through the gate facing east.^(B)

² The Lord said to me, “This gate is to remain shut. It must not be opened; no one may enter through it.^(A) It is to remain shut because the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered through it.

¹⁸ Then the glory^(A) of the Lord departed from over the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.^{(B) 19} While I watched, the cherubim spread their wings and rose from the ground, and as they went, the wheels went with them.^(C) They stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory^(D) of the God of Israel was above them.

² and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of rushing waters,^(A) and the land was radiant with his glory.^(B)
