Ezekiel 44:4-8
New American Standard Bible
4 Then He brought me by way of the (A)north gate to the front of the house; and I looked, and behold, the (B)glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord, and I (C)fell on my face. 5 And the Lord said to me, “Son of man, [a](D)pay attention, see with your eyes and hear with your ears everything that I say to you concerning all the (E)statutes of the house of the Lord and all its laws; and [b]pay attention to the entrance of the house, with all the exits of the sanctuary. 6 You shall say to the [c](F)rebellious ones, to the house of Israel, ‘This is what the Lord [d]God says: “(G)Enough of all your abominations, house of Israel, 7 when you brought in (H)foreigners, (I)uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in My sanctuary to profane it, My house, when you (J)offered My food, the fat, and the blood and they (K)broke My covenant—this in addition to all your abominations. 8 And you have not [e](L)taken responsibility for My holy things yourselves, but you have appointed foreigners [f]to take responsibility for My sanctuary.”

Admission to the Temple
4 Then he brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the temple; and I looked, and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the temple of the Lord; and I fell upon my face. 5 And the Lord said to me, “Son of man, mark well, see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I shall tell you concerning all the ordinances of the temple of the Lord and all its laws; and mark well those who may be admitted to[a] the temple and all those who are to be excluded from the sanctuary. 6 And say to the rebellious house,[b] to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: O house of Israel, let there be an end to all your abominations, 7 in admitting foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and flesh, to be in my sanctuary, profaning it,[c] when you offer to me my food, the fat and the blood. You[d] have broken my covenant, in addition to all your abominations. 8 And you have not kept charge of my holy things; but you have set foreigners to keep my charge in my sanctuary.
