3. He stretched out the form of a hand and took me by a lock of my head. And the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heavens, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court, where the seat of the image of jealousy was, which provokes to jealousy.
4. The glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
5. Then He said to me, “Son of man, lift up your eyes now toward the north.” So I lifted up my eyes toward the north, and northward at the gate of the altar was this image of jealousy in the entrance.
6. He said furthermore to me, “Son of man, do you see what they do, even the great abominations that the house of Israel commits here, so that I should go far off from My sanctuary? But yet you shall see still greater abominations.”
7. Then He brought me to the door of the court. And when I looked, there was a hole in the wall.
8. So He said to me, “Son of man, now dig in the wall.” And when I had dug in the wall, there was a door.
