² Into the land of Israel brought he me by ^[a]a divine vision, and set me upon a very high mountain, whereupon was as the building of a city, toward the South.

³ And he brought me thither, and behold, there was a ^[b]man, whose similitude was to look to, like brass, with a linen thread in his hand, and a reed to measure with: and he stood at the gate.

⁴ And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall show thee: for to the intent that they might be showed thee, art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest unto the house of Israel.
