Ezekiel 43:6-12
New American Standard Bible
6 Then I heard Him speaking to me from the house, while a (A)man was standing beside me. 7 And He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My (B)throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will (C)dwell among the sons of Israel forever. And the house of Israel will not again defile My holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their prostitution and by the [a](D)corpses of their kings [b]when they die, 8 by putting their threshold by My threshold, and their door post beside My door post, with only the wall between Me and them. And they have (E)defiled My holy name by their abominations which they have committed. So I have consumed them in My anger. 9 Now let them (F)remove their prostitution and the [c]corpses of their kings far from Me, and I will (G)dwell among them forever.
10 “As for you, son of man, (H)inform the house of Israel of the [d]temple, so that they will be (I)ashamed of their wrongdoings; and have them measure the [e](J)plan. 11 And if they are ashamed of everything that they have done, make known to them the plan of the house, its layout, its (K)exits, its entrances, all its plans, all its [f]statutes, and all its laws. And write it (L)in their sight, so that they may observe its entire plan and all its statutes and (M)execute them. 12 This is the [g]law of the house: its entire [h]area on the top of the (N)mountain all around shall be most holy. Behold, this is the [i]law of the house.

New King James Version
6 Then I heard Him speaking to me from the temple, while (A)a man stood beside me. 7 And He said to me, “Son of man, this is (B)the place of My throne and (C)the place of the soles of My feet, (D)where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. (E)No more shall the house of Israel defile My holy name, they nor their kings, by their [a]harlotry or with (F)the carcasses of their kings on their high places. 8 (G)When they set their threshold by My threshold, and their doorpost by My doorpost, with a wall between them and Me, they defiled My holy name by the abominations which they committed; therefore I have consumed them in My anger. 9 Now let them put their harlotry and the carcasses of their kings far away from Me, and I will dwell in their midst forever.
10 “Son of man, (H)describe the [b]temple to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern. 11 And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of the [c]temple and its arrangement, its exits and its entrances, its entire design and all its (I)ordinances, all its forms and all its laws. Write it down in their sight, so that they may keep its whole design and all its ordinances, and (J)perform them. 12 This is the law of the [d]temple: The whole area surrounding (K)the mountaintop is most holy. Behold, this is the law of the temple.
