Context40:2 By means of divine visions 1 he brought me to the land of Israel and placed me on a very high mountain, 2 and on it was a structure like a city, to the south. 40:3 When he brought me there, I saw 3 a man whose appearance was like bronze, with a linen cord and a measuring stick in his hand. He was standing in the gateway.
