Visions of Abominations in the Sanctuary

8 Now it happened in the sixth year, on the fifth day of the sixth month, as I was sitting in my house with the elders of Judah sitting before me, that the hand of Lord Yahweh fell on me there. ² Then I looked, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of ^[a]one on fire; from His loins and downward there was the ^(A)appearance of fire, and from His loins and upward the appearance of brightness, like ^(B)the gleam of ^[b]glowing metal. ³ He sent forth the form of a hand and took me by a lock of my head; and the ^(C)Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the ^[c]north gate of the inner court, where the seat of the figure of jealousy, which ^(D)provokes to jealousy, was located. ⁴ And behold, the ^(E)glory of the God of Israel was there, like the appearance which I saw in the plain.
