Eze 43:1-12 | ESV | STEP | Then he led me to the gate , the gate facing east .

1 Then he led me to ^athe gate, the gate facing east. 2 And behold, ^bthe glory of the God of Israel was coming from the east. And ^cthe sound of his coming was like the sound of many waters, and ^dthe earth shone with his glory. 3 And ^ethe vision I saw was just like the vision that I had seen ^fwhen he ^{▼▼Some Hebrew manuscripts and Vulgate; most Hebrew manuscripts when I} came to destroy the city, and just like ^hthe vision that I had seen ⁱby the Chebar canal. And ^jI fell on my face. 4 As ^kthe glory of the Lord ^lentered the temple by the gate facing east, 5 ^mthe Spirit lifted me up and brought me into ⁿthe inner court; and behold, ^othe glory of the Lord filled the temple.

6 ^pWhile the man was standing beside me, ^qI heard one speaking to me out of the temple, 7 and he said to me, ^r“Son of man, this is ^sthe place of my throne and ^tthe place of the soles of my feet, ^uwhere I will dwell in the midst of the people of Israel forever. And the house of Israel shall no more ^vdefile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoring and by the dead bodies ^{▼▼Or the monuments; also verse 9} of their kings at their high places, ^{▼▼Or at their deaths} 8 by setting their threshold by my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with ^yonly a wall between me and them. They have ^zdefiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed, so I have consumed them in my anger. 9 Now let them put away their whoring and the dead bodies of their kings far from me, ^aaand I will dwell in their midst forever.

10 “As for you, ^abson of man, ^acdescribe to the house of Israel the temple, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and they shall measure the plan. 11 And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, ^admake known to them the design of the temple, its arrangement, ^aeits exits and its entrances, that is, its whole design; and make known to them as well all its statutes and its whole design and all its laws, and write it down ^afin their sight, so that they may observe all its laws and all its statutes and carry them out. 12 This is the law of the temple: the whole territory on the top of ^agthe mountain ^ahall around shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the temple.
