4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
4 And there before me was the glory of the God of Israel, as in the vision I had seen in the plain.
4 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, like the vision that I saw in the valley.
4 Right before me was the Glory of the God of Israel, exactly like the vision I had seen out on the plain.
4 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, like the vision that I saw in the plain.
4 Suddenly, the glory of the God of Israel was there, just as I had seen it before in the valley.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 8:4
Commentary on Ezekiel 8:1-6
(Read Ezekiel 8:1-6)
The glorious personage Ezekiel beheld in vision, seemed to take hold upon him, and he was conveyed in spirit to Jerusalem. There, in the inner court of the temple, was prepared a place for some base idol. The whole was presented in vision to the prophet. If it should please God to give any man a clear view of his glory and majesty, and of all the abominations committing in any one city, he would then admit the justice of the severest punishments God should inflict thereon.
