Ezekiel 20:39-42

39“As for you, house of Israel,” this is what the Lord God says: “1Go, serve, everyone of you his idols; 2but later you will certainly listen to Me, and My holy name you will no longer 3defile with your gifts and your idols.

40For on My holy mountain, on the high mountain of Israel,” declares the Lord God, “there the entire house of Israel, 4all of them, will serve Me in the land; there I will 5accept them and there I will demand your contributions and the choicest of your gifts, with all your holy things.

41 6As a soothing aroma I will accept you when I 7bring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands where you are scattered; and I will show Myself to be 8holy among you in the sight of the nations.

42And 9you will know that I am the Lord, 10when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the 11land which I swore to give to your forefathers.
