Ezekiel 43:6-12
American Standard Version
6 And I heard one speaking unto me out of the house; and a man stood by me. 7 And he said unto me, Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever. And the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, and by the dead bodies of their kings [a]in their high places; 8 in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their door-post beside my door-post, and there was but the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger. 9 Now let them put away their whoredom, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me; and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
10 Thou, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the [b]pattern. 11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known unto them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the egresses thereof, and the entrances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them. 12 This is the law of the house: upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

Lexham English Bible
6 And I heard someone speaking to me from the house,[a] and a man was standing beside me. 7 And he said to me, “Son of man,[b] this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet where I will dwell[c] in the midst of the Israelites[d] to eternity, and they, the house of Israel, they and their kings, will not again defile my holy name[e] with their fornication and with their offerings for the dead[f] of their kings on their high places. 8 When they placed their threshold[g] with[h] my threshold, their doorframe beside my doorframe and the[i] wall was between me and between them, then they defiled my holy name,[j] with their detestable things that they did, and so I consumed them in my anger. 9 Now let them send their fornication far away and the offerings for the dead[k] of their kings away from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them forever.[l]
10 You, son of man,[m] describe to the house of Israel the temple and let them be ashamed of their iniquities and let them measure the pattern. 11 And if they are ashamed of all that they did, then the plan of the temple and its arrangement and its exits and its entrances and all of its plans[n] and all of its statutes. And all of its plans[o] and all of its laws[p] make known to them and write them before their eyes, so that they may remember all of its plans and all of its statutes, so that they do them! 12 This is the law[q] of the temple: On the top of the mountain, all of its territory, all the way around it,[r] will be most holy.[s] Look, this is the law of the temple.
