Ezekiel 43:9

Compare all

7 And He said to me, “Son of man, this is ^athe place of My throne and ^bthe place of the soles of My feet, ^cwhere I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. ^dNo more shall the house of Israel defile My holy name, they nor their kings, by their¹ harlotry or with ^ethe carcasses of their kings on their high places.

8 ^aWhen they set their threshold by My threshold, and their doorpost by My doorpost, with a wall between them and Me, they defiled My holy name by the abominations which they committed; therefore I have consumed them in My anger.

9 Now let them put their harlotry and the carcasses of their kings far away from Me, and I will dwell in their midst forever.

10 “Son of man, ^adescribe the temple to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.

11 And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of the¹ temple and its arrangement, its exits and its entrances, its entire design and all its ^aordinances, all its forms and all its laws. Write it down in their sight, so that they may keep its whole design and all its ordinances, and ^bperform them.

Ezekiel 43:9

Now let them put away their whoredom - Their idolatry.

And the carcasses of their kings - It appears that God was displeased with their bringing their kings so near his temple. David was buried in the city of David, which was on Mount Zion, near to the temple; and so were almost all the kings of Judah; but God requires that the place of his temple and its vicinity shall be kept unpolluted; and when they put away all kinds of defilement, then will he dwell among them.
