Vision of the New Temple

40 ^(A)In the twenty-fifth year ^(B)of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, ^(C)in the fourteenth year after the city was struck down, on that very day, ^(D)the hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me to the city.^{[a] 2} In ^(E)visions of God he brought me to the land of Israel, and set me down on ^(F)a very high mountain, on which was a structure like a city to the south. ³ When he brought me there, behold, there was ^(G)a man whose appearance was ^(H)like bronze, with ^(I)a linen cord and ^(J)a measuring reed in his hand. And he was standing in the gateway. ⁴ And the man said to me, ^(K)“Son of man, ^(L)look with your eyes, and ^(M)hear with your ears, and set your heart upon all that I shall show you, for you were brought here in order that I might show it to you. ^(N)Declare all that you see to the house of Israel.”
