Context of Ezekiel 11:24

22Then the cheruvim lifted up their wings. The wheels were beside them. The glory of the God of Israel was over them from above. 23The glory of Adonai went up from within the city and then stood still on the mountain that is to the east of the city. The Ruach lifted me and brought me in the vision by the Ruach Elohim to Chaldea, to the exiles. Then the vision that I had seen left me. 25So I told the exiles all the things that Adonai had shown me.
