Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.

Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.

And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice {was} like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.

Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.

Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also {were} beside them, and {every one} stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD'S house; and the glory of the God of Israel {was} over them above.

Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD'S house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.

And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which {is} on the east side of the city.

Afterward he brought me to the gate, {even} the gate that looketh toward the east:

Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it {was} shut.
