Ezekiel 43:1-12

Yahweh’s Glory Returns to the Temple

Then he led me to the ^agate, the gate facing toward the east; 2 and behold, the ^aglory of the God of Israel was coming from the way of the ^beast. And His ^cvoice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth ^dshone with His glory. 3 And it was like the appearance of the vision which I saw, like the ^avision which I saw when ¹He came to ^bbring the city to ruin. And the visions were like the vision which I saw by the ^criver Chebar; and I ^dfell on my face. 4 And the glory of Yahweh came into the house by the way of the gate facing toward the ^aeast. 5 And the ^aSpirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the ^bglory of Yahweh filled the house.
6 Then I heard one speaking to me from the house, while a ^aman was standing beside me. 7 He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My ^athrone and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will ^bdwell among the sons of Israel forever. And the house of Israel will not again defile My holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their harlotry and by the ¹^ccorpses of their kings ²when they die, 8 by putting their threshold by My threshold and their door post beside My door post, with only the wall between Me and them. And they have ^adefiled My holy name by their abominations which they have done. So I have consumed them in My anger. 9 Now let them ^aput away their harlotry and the ¹corpses of their kings far from Me; and I will ^bdwell among them forever.
10 “As for you, son of man, ¹^adescribe the house of Yahweh to the house of Israel, that they may feel ^bdishonor for their iniquities; and let them measure the ²^cplan. 11 If they feel dishonor for all that they have done, make known to them the ¹design of the house, its structure, its ^aexits, its entrances, all its designs, all its statutes², and all its laws. And write it ^bin their sight so that they may keep its whole ¹design and all its statutes and ^cdo them. 12 This is the ¹law of the house: within its entire boundary, on the top of the ^amountain all around, shall be most holy. Behold, this is the ¹law of the house.
