⁶ Then I heard one speaking to me from the house, while a ^(A)man was standing beside me. ⁷ 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 harlotry 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 done. So I have consumed them in My anger. ⁹ Now let them ^(F)put away their harlotry 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, ^[d](H)describe the house of Yahweh to the house of Israel, that they may feel ^(I)dishonor for their iniquities; and let them measure the ^[e](J)plan. ¹¹ If they feel dishonor for all that they have done, make known to them the ^[f]design of the house, its structure, its ^(K)exits, its entrances, all its designs, all its statutes^[g], and all its laws. And write it ^(L)in their sight so that they may keep its whole ^[h]design and all its statutes and ^(M)do them. ¹² This is the ^[i]law of the house: within its entire boundary, on the top of the ^(N)mountain all around, shall be most holy. Behold, this is the ^[j]law of the house.
