“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 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.   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.  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.’  And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.” Ezekiel 40:1-5 (KJV)
