1. Afterward he brought me to the gate, the gate facing east.
2. And the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. And His voice was like a noise of many waters. And the earth shone with His glory.
3. It was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw, when He came to destroy the city. And the visions were like the vision that I saw by the River Kebar. And I fell upon my face.
4. The glory of the Lord came into the temple by the way of the gate facing east.
5. So the Spirit took me up and brought me into the inner court. And the glory of the Lord filled the temple.
6. Then I heard one speaking to me out of the temple. And a man stood by me.
7. He said to me: Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel forever. And My holy name shall the house of Israel defile no more, nor they nor their kings by their harlotry, nor by the corpses of their kings when they die.
8. By setting their threshold by My threshold and their post by My posts and the wall between Me and them, they have even defiled My holy name by their abominations that they have committed. Therefore I have consumed them in My anger.
9. Now let them put away their harlotry and the corpses of their kings far from Me, and I will dwell in their midst forever.
10. As for you, son of man, describe the temple to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities. And let them measure the pattern.
11. If they are ashamed of all that they have done, show them the design of the temple and its fashion and exits and its entrances and all its forms and all its ordinances and all its laws. And write it in their sight so that they may keep its whole form and all its ordinances and do them.
