The Man with a Measuring Rod
(Zechariah 2:1–5 )
1 In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month— in the fourteenth year after Jerusalem had been struck down— on that very day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He took me there.
2 IN VISIONS OF GOD HE BROUGHT ME TO [THE] LAND OF ISRAEL AND HE SET DOWN ME TO A MOUNTAIN HIGH VERY AND [WAS] ON IT LIKE [THE] STRUCTURE OF A CITY FROM [THE] SOUTH
