And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the house of Yahweh, which faces eastward. And behold, at the entrance of the gate were 25 men, and among them I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.
“the spirit.” This is Yahweh, who appeared to Ezekiel in Ezekiel 8:2, and now continues taking Ezekiel around the Temple in Jerusalem.
