1 In the sixth year, in the sixth month on the fifth day, while I wassitting in my house and the elders of Judah were sitting before me,the hand of the Sovereign LORD came upon me there. 2 I looked,and I saw a figure like that of a man. From what appeared to behis waist down he was like fire, and from there up his appearancewas as bright as glowing metal. 3 He stretched out what looked likea hand and took me by the hair of my head. The Spirit lifted me upbetween earth and heaven and in visions of God he took me toJerusalem, to the entrance to the north gate of the inner court,where the idol that provokes to jealousy stood.

1 Then I heard him call out in a loud voice, "Bring the guards of the

city here, each with a weapon in his hand."2

And I saw six mencoming from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north,each with a deadly weapon in his hand. With them was a manclothed in linen who had a writing kit at his side. They came in andstood beside the bronze altar.
