Ezekiel 44:4-9

New King James Version

Those Admitted to the Temple

⁴ 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. ⁵ 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.

⁶ “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. ^7 (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. ⁸ And you have not ^(L)kept charge of My holy things, but you have set others to keep charge of My sanctuary for you.” ⁹ Thus says the Lord God: ^(M)“No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart or uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter My sanctuary, including any foreigner who is among the children of Israel.
