Ezekiel 40:1-4 - A Vision Of The New Temple

¹ In the twenty fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, the tenth day of the month - that is, the fourteenth year, after that the city was smitten down - the same day came the hand of the LORD upon me, and carried me forth: ² even into the land of Israel brought he me in the visions of God: and set me down upon a marvelous high mountain, whereupon there was a building, as it had been of a city, toward the north. ³ Thither he carried me, and behold, there was a man, whose similitude was like brass, which had a thread of flax in his hand, and a measuring rod also. He stood in the door, ⁴ and said unto me, 'Mark well with thine eyes, hearken to with thine ears, and fasten it in thine heart, whatsoever I shall show thee - for, to the intent that they might be showed thee, therefore art thou brought hither. And whatsoever thou seest, thou shalt certify the house of Israel thereof.'
