The Temple, the Lord’s Dwelling Place
1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, the gate athat faces toward the east.
2 aAnd behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. bHis voice was like the sound of many waters; cand the earth shone with His glory.
3 It was alike the appearance of the vision which I saw—like the vision which I saw when1 I came bto destroy the city. The visions were like the vision which I saw cby the River Chebar; and I fell on my face.
4 aAnd the glory of the Lord came into the1 temple by way of the gate which faces toward the east.
5 aThe Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, bthe glory of the Lord filled the1 temple.
6 Then I heard Him speaking to me from the temple, while aa man stood beside me.
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.
