Ezekiel 40:2-4
Good News Translation
2 (A)In a vision God took me to the land of Israel and put me on a high mountain. I saw in front of me[a] a group of buildings that looked like a city. 3 (B)He took me closer, and I saw a man who shone like bronze. He was holding a linen tape measure and a measuring rod and was standing by a gateway.
4 He said to me, “Watch, mortal man. Listen carefully and pay close attention to everything I show you, because this is why you were brought here. You are to tell the people of Israel everything you see.”
