Ezekiel 43 — Context

6

I heard someone speaking to me from the temple, while the man was standing beside me.

7

He said to me:“Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet, where I will live among the people of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no longer profane my holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their spiritual prostitution or by the pillars of their kings set up when they die.

8

When they placed their threshold by my threshold and their doorpost by my doorpost, with only the wall between me and them, they profaned my holy name by the abominable deeds they committed. So I consumed them in my anger.

9

Now they must put away their spiritual prostitution and the pillars of their kings far from me, and then I will live among them forever.

10

“As for you, son of man, describe the temple to the house of Israel, so that they will be ashamed of their sins and measure the pattern.

11

When they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of the temple, its pattern, its exits and entrances, and its whole design– all its statutes, its entire design, and all its laws; write it all down in their sight, so that they may observe its entire design and all its statutes and do them.

12

“This is the law of the temple: The entire area on top of the mountain all around will be most holy. Indeed, this is the law of the temple.
