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.

Revised Standard Version
6 While the man was standing beside me, I heard one speaking to me out of the temple; 7 and 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 people of Israel for ever. And the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their harlotry, and by the dead bodies[a] of their kings, 8 by setting their threshold by my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall between me and them. They have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed, so I have consumed them in my anger. 9 Now let them put away their idolatry and the dead bodies[b] of their kings far from me, and I will dwell in their midst for ever.
10 “And you, son of man, describe to the house of Israel the temple and its appearance and plan,[c] that they may be ashamed of their iniquities. 11 And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, portray[d] the temple, its arrangement, its exits and its entrances, and its whole form; and make known to them all its ordinances and all its laws; and write it down in their sight, so that they may observe and perform all its laws[e] and all its ordinances. 12 This is the law of the temple: the whole territory round about upon the top of the mountain shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the temple.
