1 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 was struck, on that very day, the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He brought me there.
2 In visions of God, He brought me to the land of Israel and set me down on a very high mountain, on which was something like the form of a city facing toward the south.
3 He brought me there, and behold, there was a man whose appearance was like bronze, with a line of flax in his hand and a measuring rod, and he was standing in the gateway.
