2 In visionibus Deiadduxit me in terram Israel et posuit me super montem excelsum nimis, super quemerat quasi aedificium civitatis ad austrum.	2 In the visions of God, he brought me into the land of Israel, and he released me on an exceedingly high mountain, on which there was something like the edifice of a city, verging toward the south.
3 Et introduxit me illuc; et eccevir, cuius erat species quasi species aeris, et funiculus lineus in manu eius,et calamus mensurae in manu eius, stabat autem in porta.	3 And he led me into that place. And behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a linen rope in his hand, and a measuring reed in his hand. And he was standing at the gate.
4 Et locutus est ad meidem vir: “ Fili hominis, vide oculis tuis et auribus tuis audi et pone cortuum in omnia, quae ego ostendam tibi, quia ut ostendantur tibi, adductus eshuc; annuntia omnia, quae tu vides, domui Israel ”.	4 And the same man said to me: “Son of man, look with your eyes, and listen with your ears, and set your heart upon all that I will reveal to you. For you have been brought to this place, so that these things may be revealed to you. Announce all that you see to the house of Israel.”
