Hebrew Bible · Ezekiel 8:3; 40:3
Carried by the hair; the man of brass
EvidenceDocumentedThe text exists and is quoted from a published translation. What it describes is a separate question.
What this means
Primary records exist: an original document, a published text, an official file or a dated report. We link to them. This level says the record exists and what it says, not that every claim in it is true.
And the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem… there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed.
Translation: KJV
