Now it came H1961 about H1961 in the sixth H8345 year H8141, on the fifth H2568 day of the sixth H8345 month H2320, as I was sitting H3427 in my house H1004 with the elders H2205 of Judah H3063 sitting H3427 before H6440 me, that the hand H3027 of the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 fell H5307 upon me there H8033.
Then He said H559 to me, “Son H1121 of man H120, raise H5375 your eyes H5869 now H4994 toward H1870 the north H6828.” So I raised H5375 my eyes H5869 toward H1870 the north H6828, and behold H2009, to the north H6828 of the altar H4196 gate H8179 was this H2088 idol H5566 of jealousy H7068 at the entrance H872.
Then He brought H935 me into the inner H6442 courtyard H2691 of the LORD’S H3068 house H1004. And behold H2009, at the entrance H6607 to the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068, between H996 the porch H197 and the altar H4196, were about twenty-five H6242 H2568 men H376 with their backs H268 to the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068 while their faces H6440 were toward the east H6924; and they were [fn]prostrating H2331 themselves eastward H6924 toward the sun H8121.
