Then the Spirit^[c] lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me to Jerusalem, while I was experiencing visions from God. He brought me to the entrance of the north gate into the inner courtyard of the Temple, where the idolatrous image of jealousy, which provokes jealousy, was located. ⁴ Then I looked, and there was the Glory of the God of Israel, as it was in the vision that I had seen in the middle of the river valley.
