Then the wind {\cf2\super [24]} lifted me up and I heard a voice behind me. It was very loud, like thunder. \{It said,\} “Blessed is the Glory of the Lord!”
There the Glory of the God of Israel came from the east. God’s voice was loud like the sound of the sea. The ground was bright with the light from the Glory of God.
The Lord said to me, “This gate will stay shut. It won’t be opened. No one will enter through it. Why? Because the Lord of Israel has entered through it. So it must stay shut.
Then the man led me through the north gate to the front of the temple. I looked and saw the Glory of the Lord filling the Lord’s temple. I bowed with my face touching the ground.
