Ezekiel 43:6-12

Modern English Version

⁶ Then I heard one speaking to me out of the temple. And a man stood by me. ⁷ He said to 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 sons of Israel forever. And My holy name shall the house of Israel defile no more, nor they nor their kings by their harlotry, nor by the corpses of their kings when they die. ⁸ By setting their threshold by My threshold and their post by My posts and the wall between Me and them, they have even defiled My holy name by their abominations that they have committed. Therefore I have consumed them in My anger. ⁹ Now let them put away their harlotry and the corpses of their kings far from Me, and I will dwell in their midst forever.

¹⁰ As for you, son of man, describe the temple to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities. And let them measure the pattern. ¹¹ If they are ashamed of all that they have done, show them the design of the temple and its fashion and exits and its entrances and all its forms and all its ordinances and all its laws. And write it in their sight so that they may keep its whole form and all its ordinances and do them.

¹² This is the law of the temple: The whole territory on the top of the mountain all around shall be most holy. This is the law of the temple.
