Ezekiel in Babylon

1 In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the ^aexiles by the ^bChebar canal, ^cthe heavens were opened, and I ^dsaw ^evisions of God.¹

3 He put out the form of a hand and took me by a lock of my head, and ^hthe Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me in ⁱvisions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the gateway of the inner court that faces north, where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which ^jprovokes to jealousy.
