Visions of the House of Yahweh
40 In the (A)twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after the (B)city was struck down, on that same day the (C)hand of Yahweh was upon me, and He brought me there. 2 In the (D)visions of God He brought me into the land of Israel and caused me to rest on a very (E)high mountain, and on it (F)to the south there was a (G)structure like a city. 3 So He brought me there; and behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of (H)bronze, with a (I)line of flax and a (J)measuring [a]rod in his hand; and he was standing in the gateway. 4 And the man spoke to me, “(K)Son of man, (L)see with your eyes, hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I am going to show you; for you have been brought here in order to show it to you. (M)Declare to the house of Israel all that you are seeing.”

New Living Translation
The New Temple Area
40 On April 28,[a] during the twenty-fifth year of our captivity—fourteen years after the fall of Jerusalem—the Lord took hold of me. 2 In a vision from God he took me to the land of Israel and set me down on a very high mountain. From there I could see toward the south what appeared to be a city. 3 As he brought me nearer, I saw a man whose face shone like bronze standing beside a gateway entrance. He was holding in his hand a linen measuring cord and a measuring rod.
4 He said to me, “Son of man, watch and listen. Pay close attention to everything I show you. You have been brought here so I can show you many things. Then you will return to the people of Israel and tell them everything you have seen.”
