Those Admitted to the Temple

Also He brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the [a]temple; so I looked, and (A)behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord; (B)and I fell on my face. And the Lord said to me, (C)“Son of man, [b]mark well, see with your eyes and hear with your ears, all that I say to you concerning all the (D)ordinances of the house of the Lord and all its laws. Mark well who may enter the house and all who go out from the sanctuary.

“Now say to the (E)rebellious, to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “O house of Israel, (F)let Us have no more of all your abominations. (G)When you brought in (H)foreigners, (I)uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in My sanctuary to defile it—My house—and when you offered (J)My food, (K)the fat and the blood, then they broke My covenant because of all your abominations. And you have not (L)kept charge of My holy things, but you have set others to keep charge of My sanctuary for you.”

Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord: and I fell upon my face. And the Lord said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the Lord, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary. And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations, in that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations. And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
