Ezekiel 8 · Grade 3
Ezekiel Sees Inside the Temple
Read the Story
The elders of Judah were sitting before Ezekiel in his house. Then Yahweh's hand fell on him. Ezekiel says the Spirit lifted him up and brought him in the visions of God to Jerusalem. The glory of the God of Israel was there.
God told Ezekiel to dig in a wall. He dug and found a door. Inside, pictures of idols were drawn on the wall. Seventy elders were burning incense to them in the dark.
Then Ezekiel saw about twenty-five men with their backs toward Yahweh's temple. They were worshiping the sun toward the east. The elders said Yahweh did not see them. But God saw it all.
