Ezekiel 40:3 in Context — Ezekiel 40

1 EN el año veinticinco de nuestro cautiverio, al principio del año, á los diez del mes, á los catorce años después que la ciudad fué herida, en aquel mismo día fué sobre mí la mano de Jehová, y llevóme allá.

2 En visiones de Dios me llevó á la tierra de Israel, y púsome sobre un monte muy alto, sobre el cual había como edificio de una ciudad al mediodía.

3 Y llevóme allí, y he aquí un varón, cuyo aspecto era como aspecto de metal, y tenía un cordel de lino en su mano, y una caña de medir: y él estaba á la puerta.

4 Y hablóme aquel varón, [diciendo]: Hijo del hombre, mira con tus ojos, y oye con tus oídos, y pon tu corazón á todas las cosas que te muestro; porque para que yo te las mostrase eres traído aquí. Cuenta todo lo que ves á la casa de Israel.

5 Y he aquí, un muro fuera de la casa: y la caña de medir que aquel varón tenía en la mano, era de seis codos, de á codo y palmo: y midió la anchura del edificio de una caña, y la altura, de otra caña.
