Ezekiel 43:6-12
1599 Geneva Bible
6 And I heard one speaking unto me out of the house: and there stood a man by me,
7 Which said unto me, Son of man this place is my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, whereas I will dwell among the children of Israel forever, and the house of Israel shall no more [a]defile mine holy Name, neither they, nor their kings by their fornication, nor by the carcasses of [b]their kings in their high places.
8 Albeit they set their thresholds by my thresholds, and their posts by my posts (for there was but a wall between me and them) yet have they defiled mine holy Name with their abominations, that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in my wrath.
9 Now therefore let them put away their fornication, and the carcasses of their kings far from me, and I will dwell among them forever.
10 ¶ Thou son of man, show this House to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their wickedness, and let them measure the pattern.
11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, show them the form of the house, and the pattern thereof, and the going out thereof, and the coming in thereof, and the whole fashion thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the figures thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole fashion thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.
12 This is the [c]description of the house, It shall be upon the top of the mount: all the limits thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the description of the house.
