OET (OET-RV) Then he told me, “Son of humanity, look towards the north.” So I looked towards the north, and to the north of the gate leading to the altar—there in the entrance—was the idol that caused the jealousy.
The “figure like a man” (Ezekiel 8:2) speaks to Ezekiel.

“Son of a human being” or “Son of humanity.” God calls Ezekiel this to emphasize that Ezekiel is only a human being. God is eternal and powerful, but humans are not. See how you translated this in Ezekiel 2:1. Alternate translation: [Mortal person] or [Human]
