^4 (A)And the glory of the Lord came into the ^[a]temple by way of the gate which faces toward the east.

² And the Lord said to me, “This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter by it, ^(A)because the Lord God of Israel has entered by it; therefore it shall be shut.

¹⁸ Then ^(A)the glory of the Lord ^(B)departed from the threshold of the ^[a]temple and stood over the cherubim. ¹⁹ And ^(C)the cherubim lifted their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight. When they went out, the wheels were beside them; and they stood at the door of the ^(D)east gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.

^2 (A)And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. ^(B)His voice was like the sound of many waters; ^(C)and the earth shone with His glory.
