Ezekiel 8:1-4

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Visionary Journey to Jerusalem

8 In the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, I was sitting in my house and the elders of Judah were sitting in front of me,^(A) and there the hand of the Lord God came down on me.^{(B) 2} I looked, and there was a form that had the appearance of a man.^[a] From what seemed to be His waist down was fire, and from His waist up was something that looked bright,^(C) like the gleam of amber.^{(D) 3} He stretched out what appeared to be a hand and took me by the hair of my head. Then the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and carried me in visions of God^(E) to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the inner gate that faces north, where the offensive statue that provokes jealousy^(F) was located. ⁴ I saw the glory of the God of Israel^(G) there, like the vision I had seen in the plain.^(H)
