Ezekiel

Ezekiel 8:3–4

³He stretched out what looked like a hand and took me by the hair of my head. Then the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and carried me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court, where the idol that provokes jealousy was seated.

⁴And there I saw the glory of the God of Israel, like the vision I had seen in the plain.
