Ezekiel 43:1–7

The Temple, the Lord’s Dwelling Place

43Afterward he brought me to the gate, the gate ^athat faces toward the east. ^2bAnd behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. ^cHis voice was like the sound of many waters; ^dand the earth shone with His glory. ³It was ^elike the appearance of the vision which I saw—like the vision which I saw when ¹I came ^fto destroy the city. The visions were like the vision which I saw ^gby the River Chebar; and I fell on my face. ^4hAnd the glory of the Lord came into the ²temple by way of the gate which faces toward the east. ⁵ⁱThe Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, ^jthe glory of the Lord filled the ³temple.

⁶Then I heard Him speaking to me from the temple, while ^ka man stood beside me. ⁷And He said to me, “Son of man, this is ^lthe place of My throne and ^mthe place of the soles of My feet, ⁿwhere I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. ^oNo more shall the house of Israel defile My holy name, they nor their kings, by their ⁴harlotry or with ^pthe carcasses of their kings on their high places.
