they are doing? Even the great abominations that Beit
Yisrael 2356 commits here, that I should go far away from
My Kadosh-Place? But turn again, and you shall see even
greater abominations.
7 And He brought me to the door of the courtyard; and
when I looked, see a hole in the wall.
8 Then He said to me, Ben-adam, dig now in the wall: and
when I had dug into the wall, I saw a door.
9 And He said to me, Go in, and see the wicked
abominations that they do there.
10 So I went in and saw; and see every design of creeping
things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of Beit
Yisrael, portrayed upon the wall all around.
11 And there stood before them the seventy men of the
zechanim of Beit Yisrael, and in the midst of them stood
Ya-azanyah the son of Shaphan, with every man his
censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.
12 Then said He to me, Ben-adam, have you seen what
the zechanim of Beit Yisrael do in the dark, every man in
the rooms of his idols? For they say, vuvh does not see
us; vuvh has forsaken the land.
13 He said also to me, Turn again, and you shall see even
greater abominations that they do.
14 Then He brought me to the door of the gate of vuvh's
Bayit which was toward the north; and, see, there sat
women weeping for Tammuz.
15 Then said He to me, Have you seen this, O Ben-adam?
Turn again, and you shall see greater abominations than
these.
16 And He brought me into the inner courtyard of vuvh's
Bayit, and, see, at the door of the Hekal of vuvh, between
the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men, 2357
with their backs toward the Hekal of vuvh, and their faces
toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the
east. 2358
17 Then He said to me, Have you seen this, O Ben-adam?
Is it a small thing for Beit Yahudah that they commit the
abominations that they commit here? For they have filled
the land with violence, and have returned to provoke Me
to anger: and, see, they put the branch to My nose.
18 Therefore will I also deal in anger: My eye shall not
spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in My
ears with a loud voice, yet will I not listen to them.
9
He cried also in my ears with a loud voice, saying, Let
the avengers of the city draw near, every man with his
destroying weapon in his hand.
2 And, see, six men came from the derech of the Upper
Gate, which lies toward the north, and every man a killing
weapon in his hand; and one Man among them was
clothed with linen, whose loins were girded with sefirot:
2359 and they went in, and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 And the tifereth of the Elohim of Yisrael had gone up
from the cheruv, where it had been, to the threshold of the
Bayit. And He called to the Man clothed with linen,
whose loins were girded with sefirot; 2360
4 And vuvh said to Him, Go through the midst of the city,
through the midst of Yahrushalayim, and set a mark upon
the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the
abominations that are done in the midst of it.
5 And to the others He said in my hearing, Follow Him
through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither
have any pity:

6 Slay utterly old and young, both maidens, and little
children, and women: but come not near to any man who
has the mark; and begin at My Kadosh-Place. Then they
began with the zechanim who were in front of the Bayit.
7 And He said to them, Defile the Bayit, and fill the
courts with the slain: go out. And they went out, and
killed those in the city.
8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and
I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said,
Oy, Master vuvh! Will You destroy all the remnant of
Yisrael in Your pouring out of Your anger upon
Yahrushalayim?
9 Then He said to me, The iniquity of Beit Yisrael and
Yahudah is exceedingly great, 2361 and the land is full of
dahm, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, vuvh
has forsaken the land, and vuvh sees not.
10 And as for Me also, My eye shall not spare, neither
will I have pity, but I will repay their derech upon their
head.
11 And, see, the Man clothed with linen, whose loins
were girded with sefirot, reported the matter, saying, I
have done as you have commanded me. 2362
10
Then I looked, and, saw, in the expanse that was
above the head of the cheruvim there appeared over them
as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the
likeness of a kesay. 2363
2 And He spoke to the Man clothed with linen, and said,
Go in between the wheels, even under the cheruv, and fill
your hand with coals of fire from between the cheruvim,
and scatter them over the city. And He went in before my
eyes.
3 Now the cheruvim stood on the right side of the Bayit,
when the Man went in; and the cloud filled the inner
courtyard.
4 Then the tifereth of vuvh went up from the cheruv, and
stood over the threshold of the Bayit; and the Bayit was
filled with the cloud, and the courtyard was full of the
splendor of vuvh's tifereth.
5 And the sound of the cheruvim's wings was heard even
to the outer courtyard, as the voice of El-Shaddai when
He speaks.
6 And it came to pass, that when He had commanded the
Man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between
the wheels, from between the cheruvim; then He went in,
and stood beside the wheels.
7 And one cheruv stretched out his hand from between
the cheruvim to the fire that was between the cheruvim,
and took of it, and put it into the hands of Him that was
clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.
8 And there appeared in the cheruvim the design of a
Man's hand 2364 under their wings.
9 And when I looked, see the four wheels by the
cheruvim, one wheel by one cheruv, and another wheel
by another cheruv: and the appearance of the wheels was
as the color of a beryl stone. 2365
10 And as for their appearances, the four looked alike, as
if a wheel had been in the middle of a wheel.
11 When they went, they went upon their four sides; they
turned not as they went, but to the place where the head
looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.
12 And their whole body, and their backs, and their
hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes
