Ezekiel 43:2

Ezekiel 43:2

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.
