Ezekiel 8

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 8 of 48

1 And it was in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth of the month, I was sitting in my house. And the elders of Judah were sitting before me. And the hand of the Lord Jehovah fell on me there.

2 And I looked, and behold, a likeness as the look of fire, from the appearance of His loins and downward, like fire, and from His loins and upward, as the look of brightness, like the color of polished metal.

3 And He put forth the form of a hand and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heavens and brought me to Jerusalem, in the visions of God, to the opening of the inner gate facing north, where there was a seat of the image of jealousy, which causes jealousy.
