Ezekiel 8:1-4

Lexham English Bible

Abominations in the Temple and in Jerusalem

8 And then^[a] 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 before me.^[b] And the hand of the Lord Yahweh fell on me there, ² and I saw,^[c] and look! A figure like the appearance of a man;^[d] from the appearance of his waist and below was fire, and from his waist and upward^[e] was like the appearance of brightness,^[f] like the outward appearance of^[g] amber. ³ And he sent out the form of a hand, and he took me by a lock of hair of my head, and the Spirit lifted me between earth and heaven, and it brought me to Jerusalem in visions of God to the doorway of the inner gate that faced north,^[h] at which there was the seat of the image of jealousy, which was making jealous. ⁴ And look! There was the glory of the God of Israel like the vision that I saw in the valley.
