1. And he brought me to the gate which was facing east.
2. And, look! The glory of the God of Israel, it came from the way of the east, and its sound was like the sound of many waters and the land radiated due to his glory!
3. And the appearance of the vision which I saw was as the vision which I saw at his coming to destroy the city, and these visions were also as the vision which I saw by the Kebar River, and I fell on my face.
4. And then the glory of Yahweh came to the temple by the way of the gate facing east.
5. And the Spirit lifted me and it brought me to the inner courtyard and, look! The glory of Yahweh filled the temple!
6. And I heard someone speaking to me from the house, and a man was standing beside me.
7. And he said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet where I will dwell in the midst of the Israelites to eternity, and they, the house of Israel, they and their kings, will not again defile my holy name with their fornication and with their offerings for the dead of their kings on their high places.
8. When they placed their threshold with my threshold, their doorframe beside my doorframe and the wall was between me and between them, then they defiled my holy name, with their detestable things that they did, and so I consumed them in my anger.
