Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth (month), in the fifth (day) of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
the word of Jehovah came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of Jehovah was there upon him.
And he put forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner (court) that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
