4 He it was that removed the high places+ and broke the sacred pillars+ to pieces and cut down the sacred+ pole and crushed to pieces the copper serpent+ that Moses had made;+ for down to those days the sons of Israel had continually been making sacrificial+ smoke to it, and it used to be called the copper serpent-idol.*+

3 Then he thrust out the representation of a hand+ and took me by a tuft of hair of my head, and a spirit*+ carried me between the earth and the heavens and brought me to Jerusalem in the visions of God,+ to the entrance of the inner gate+ that is facing northward, where the dwelling place is of the symbol of jealousy that is inciting to jealousy.+
