Ezekiel 8 — Context

3

He stretched out the form of a hand and grabbed me by a lock of hair on my head. Then a wind lifted me up between the earth and sky and brought me to Jerusalem by means of divine visions, to the door of the inner gate which faces north where the statue which provokes to jealousy was located.

4

Then I perceived that the glory of the God of Israel was there, as in the vision I had seen earlier in the valley.

5

He said to me,“Son of man, look up toward the north.” So I looked up toward the north, and I noticed to the north of the altar gate was this statue of jealousy at the entrance.

6

He said to me,“Son of man, do you see what they are doing– the great abominations that the people of Israel are practicing here, to drive me far from my sanctuary? But you will see greater abominations than these!”

7

He brought me to the entrance of the court, and as I watched, I noticed a hole in the wall.

8

He said to me,“Son of man, dig into the wall.” So I dug into the wall and discovered a doorway.
