So, in the 25th year of our exile, right at the beginning of the year, on the 10th day, like 14 years after the city got wrecked, the Lord laid his hand on me and transported me there.
In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth {day} of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither.
In a vision, God literally took me to Israel and set me on this mad high mountain that looked like a city frame down south.
In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which {was} as the frame of a city on the south. {by which: or, upon which}
He brought me there, and no cap, there was a dude who looked like brass, holding a flax line and a measuring stick, just chillin' at the gate.
And he brought me thither, and, behold, {there was} a man, whose appearance {was} like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
The dude was like, "Son of man, peep this with your eyes, listen with your ears, and lock in your heart on everything I'm about to show you; I brought you here to spill the tea to the house of Israel."
And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew {them} unto thee {art} thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.
