Ezekiel 1:1-3

I am the priest, Ezekiel son of Buzi. I was in exile by the Kebar Canal in Babylonia when the skies opened up, and I saw visions of God. This was on the fifth day of the fourth month of the thirtieth year. (This was the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s exile. The word of the LORD came to Ezekiel. The power of the came to Ezekiel. The power of the LORD came over him at that place.)
