Ezekiel 40:1-3

1In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was smitten, in the same day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me there.

2In the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was a structure like a city on the south.1

3And he brought me there, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
