Ezekiel 8:4

And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there ,.... In the temple, between the cherubim, where the Shechinah or the glory of the divine Majesty dwelt; for as yet he had not removed, though provoked to it, and as he afterwards did; or he was here to destroy the idols, and both city and temple, for the idolatry of the people; or this is here mentioned, to show the baseness and wickedness of the people, that they should place an idol where the Lord himself was:

according to the vision that I saw in the plain ; it was the same glorious Person he saw in the temple whom he had before seen in the plain, Ezekiel 3:22 ; and that was the same he had seen in the vision by the river Chebar, Ezekiel 1:3 .
