The Lord brought me there. There was a man there that looked \{shiny\} like \{polished\} bronze. That man had a cloth tape measure and a measuring rod in his hand. He was standing by the gate.
His body was like a smooth, shiny stone. His face was bright like lightning! His eyes were like flames of fire. His arms and feet were shiny like polished brass! His voice was loud like a crowd of people!
Those teachings are so people can know unclean [145] animals from clean [146] animals. So people will know which animals they can eat and which animals they must not eat.
