“And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.”
Divine figure grasps prophet by hair, transporting him in vision to Jerusalem temple's inner court's north door. Image of jealousy (goddess figure) placed there represents infesting idolatry; phrase provokes YHWH's righteous jealousy for exclusive worship.
