Ezekiel 43:6-12
World English Bible
6 I heard one speaking to me out of the house; 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 among the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their prostitution, and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places; 8 in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their door post beside my door post. There was a wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed. Therefore I have consumed them in my anger. 9 Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me. Then I will dwell among them forever.
10 “You, son of man, show the house 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, make known to them the form of the house, and its fashion, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.
12 “This is the law of the house. On the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

Ezekiel 43:6-12
Christian Standard Bible
6 While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from the temple.(A) 7 He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet,(B) where I will dwell among the Israelites forever.(C) The house of Israel and their kings will no longer defile my holy name by their religious prostitution and by the corpses[a](D) of their kings at their high places.[b](E) 8 Whenever they placed their threshold next to my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall between me and them, they were defiling my holy name by the detestable acts they committed.(F) So I destroyed them in my anger. 9 Now let them remove their prostitution and the corpses(G) of their kings far from me, and I will dwell among them forever.(H)
10 “As for you, son of man, describe the temple to the house of Israel,(I) so that they may be ashamed of their iniquities.(J) Let them measure its pattern,(K) 11 and they will be ashamed of all that they have done. Reveal[c] the design of the temple to them—its layout with its exits and entrances(L)—its complete design along with all its statutes, design specifications, and laws. Write it down in their sight(M) so that they may observe its complete design and all its statutes and may carry them out.(N) 12 This is the law of the temple: All its surrounding territory on top of the mountain(O) will be especially holy. Yes, this is the law of the temple.
