Context of Ezekiel 11:24

22Then the cherubs lifted up their wings to fly. The wheels were at their sides. And the bright glory of Israel's God was above them. 23The glory of the Lord rose up and it went away from the city. It stopped over a mountain on the east side of the city. In the vision, a spirit lifted me up and took me back to Babylon. I returned to the Israelites who were prisoners there. That was the end of the vision. 25I told the Israelites everything that the Lord had shown me in the vision.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 22-25Verses 22-25 Here is the departure of God's presence from the city and temple.
