Vision of the New Temple

40 In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city^[a] was struck down, on this very day,^[b] the hand^[c] of the Lord was on me, and he brought me there.^{[d] 2} By divine visions^[e] he brought me to the land of Israel and placed me on a very high mountain,^[f] and on it was a structure like a city, to the south. ³ When he brought me there, I saw^[g] a man whose appearance was like bronze, with a linen cord and a measuring stick in his hand. He was standing in the gateway. ⁴ The man said to me, “Son of man, watch closely, listen carefully, and pay attention^[h] to everything I show you, for you have been brought here so that I can show it to you.^[i] Tell the house of Israel everything you see.”
