Ezekiel 40:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
40 The restoring of the city and the Temple.
1 In the five and twentieth year of our being in captivity, in the [a]beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day, the hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me thither.
2 Into the land of Israel brought he me by [b]a divine vision, and set me upon a very high mountain, whereupon was as the building of a city, toward the South.
3 And he brought me thither, and behold, there was a [c]man, whose similitude was to look to, like brass, with a linen thread in his hand, and a reed to measure with: and he stood at the gate.
