Ezekiel 44:1-9

1The man then brought me backH7725 toH1870 the outerH2435 gateH8179 of the sanctuaryH4720 that facedH6437 eastH6921, but itH1931 was shutH5462. 2And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to meH413, “ThisH2088 gateH8179 is to remainH1961 shutH5462. It shall notH3808 be openedH6605, and noH3808 manH376 shall enterH935 through it, becauseH3588 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, has enteredH935 through it. Therefore it will remainH1961 shutH5462. 3Only the princeH5387 himselfH1931 may sitH3427 inside the gateway to eatH398H3899 in the presence ofH6440 the LORDH3068. He must enterH935 by wayH1870 of the porticoH197 of the gatewayH8179 and go outH3318 the same wayH1870.”

4Then the man brought meH935 toH413 the frontH6440 of the templeH1004 by wayH1870 of the northH6828 gateH8179. I lookedH7200 and sawH2009 the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 fillingH4390 HisH3068 templeH1004, and I fellH5307 facedownH413H6440. 5The LORDH3068 saidH559 to meH413: “SonH1121 of manH120, pay attentionH7760H3820; look carefullyH7200 with your eyesH5869 and listen closelyH8085 with your earsH241 to everythingH3605 IH589 tellH1696 youH853 concerning allH3605 the statutesH2708 andH3605 lawsH8451 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. Take careful noteH7760H3820 of the entranceH3996 to the templeH1004, along with allH3605 the exitsH4161 of the sanctuaryH4720.

6TellH559H413 the rebelliousH4805H413 houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 that this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559: ‘I have had enoughH7227 of allH3605 your abominationsH8441, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. 7In additionH413 to allH3605 your other abominationsH8441, you brought inH935 foreignersH1121H5236 uncircumcisedH6189 in both heartH3820H6189 and fleshH1320 to occupyH1961 My sanctuaryH4720; you defiledH2490 My templeH1004 when you offeredH7126 My foodH3899—the fatH2459 and the bloodH1818; you brokeH6565 My covenantH1285. 8And you have notH3808 keptH8104 chargeH4931 of My holy thingsH6944, but have appointedH7760 others to keepH8104 chargeH4931 of My sanctuaryH4720 for you.’

9This is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559: NoH3605 foreignerH1121H5236 uncircumcisedH6189 in heartH3820H6189 and fleshH1320 may enterH935H413 My sanctuaryH4720H3605—not even a foreignerH1121H5236 whoH834 lives amongH8432 the IsraelitesH1121H3478.
