Ezekiel 8:1-4
Visions of Abominations in the Sanctuary
8Now 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. 2Then I looked, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of 1one on fire; from His loins and downward there was the aappearance of fire, and from His loins and upward the appearance of brightness, like bthe gleam of 2glowing metal. 3He sent forth the form of a hand and took me by a lock of my head; and the aSpirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the 1north gate of the inner court, where the seat of the figure of jealousy, which bprovokes to jealousy, was located. 4And behold, the aglory of the God of Israel was there, like the appearance which I saw in the plain.
