Ezekiel 40:2-3

40:2 By means of divine visions he brought me to the land of Israel and placed me on a very high mountain, and on it was a structure like a city, to the south. 40:3 When he brought me there, I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze, with a linen cord and a measuring stick in his hand. He was standing in the gateway.

Ezekiel 40:24

40:24 Then he led me toward the south. I saw a gate on the south. He measured its jambs and its porches; they had the same dimensions as the others.


tn The expression introduces the three major visions of Ezekiel (1:1; 8:3; 40:2).

tn The reference to a very high mountain is harmonious with Isa 2:2.
