²⁸ Like the appearance of a rainbow^(A) in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him.^(B)

This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory^(C) of the Lord. When I saw it, I fell facedown,^(D) and I heard the voice of one speaking.

²³ So I got up and went out to the plain. And the glory of the Lord was standing there, like the glory I had seen by the Kebar River,^(A) and I fell facedown.^(B)

The North Gate

²⁰ Then he measured the length and width of the north gate, leading into the outer court.

⁴⁰ By the outside wall of the portico of the gateway, near the steps at the entrance of the north gateway were two tables, and on the other side of the steps were two tables.

⁵ Then the Spirit^(A) lifted me up^(B) and brought me into the inner court, and the glory^(C) of the Lord filled the temple.^(D)

⁸ And the temple was filled with smoke^(A) from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple^(B) until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
