Ezekiel 8:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

³ He reached out with what looked like a hand and seized me by a lock of hair. Then the Spirit^[a] lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me to Jerusalem, while I was experiencing visions from God. He brought me to the entrance of the north gate into the inner courtyard of the Temple, where the idolatrous image of jealousy, which provokes jealousy, was located. ⁴ Then I looked, and there was the Glory of the God of Israel, as it was in the vision that I had seen in the middle of the river valley.

⁵ He said to me, “Son of man, look toward the north.” So I looked toward the north, and what did I see! There, north of the altar gate, was this idolatrous image of jealousy beside the entrance.
