4 Then he brought me by the way of the gate of the north to the front of the temple,d and I looked,e and look! The glory of Yahweh filled the templef of Yahweh, and I fell on my face. 5 And Yahweh said, “Son of man,g set your hearth and look with your eyes and with your ears hear ⌊everything⌋i I am saying to you concerning all the statutes of the templej of Yahweh and concerning all its laws,k and you must listen with your heart concerning the entrance of the templel with all of the exits of the sanctuary. 6 And you must say to the rebellious, to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Enough for you, house of Israel, ofm all of your detestable things! 7 Atn your bringing ⌊foreigners⌋o who are uncircumcised of heart and uncircumcised of flesh to be in my sanctuary to profane it, my temple,p ⌊as you offered my food, fat, and blood⌋,q sor you broke my covenant by all of your detestable things. 8 And you did not observe the responsibility of my sanctuary, buts you appointed themt as the keepers of my responsibility in my sanctuary for you.”
