1. In the twenty-fifth year after we were taken away into captivity, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, the Lord’S power came on me. This was fourteen years after the Babylonians took Jerusalem. On that day the Lord took me there in a vision.
2. In a vision, God carried me to the land of Israel. He put me down near a very high mountain. On the mountain in front of me was a building that looked like a city.
3. He took me to that place. There was a man there who looked like polished bronze. He had a cloth tape measure and a measuring rod in his hand. He was standing by the gate.
