Vision of the Glory of God Filling the Temple
1
Then he
led me to the
gate, the
gate facing toward the
east ;
2
and
behold, the
glory of the
God of
Israel was
coming from the
way of the
east. And His
voice was like the
sound of
many waters ; and the
earth shone with His
glory.
3
And it was like the
appearance of the
vision which I
saw, like the
vision which I
saw when He
came to
destroy the
city. And the
visions were like the
vision which I
saw by the
river Chebar ; and I
fell on my
face.

And the
glory of the
LORD came into the
house by the
way of the
gate facing toward the
east.
5
And the
Spirit lifted me up and
brought me into the
inner court ; and
behold, the
glory of the
LORD filled the
house.
6
Then I
heard one
speaking to me from the
house, while a
man was
standing beside 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 among the
sons of
Israel forever. And the
house of
Israel will not
again defile My
holy name, neither they
nor their
kings, by their
harlotry and by the
corpses of their
kings when they
die,
8
by
setting their
threshold by My
threshold and their
door post beside My
door post, with only the
wall between Me and them. And they have
defiled My
holy name by their
abominations which they have
committed. So 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 among them
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
plan.
11
"If they are
ashamed of
all that they have
done,
make known to them the
design of the
house, its
structure, its
exits, its
entrances,
all its
designs,
all its
statutes , and
all its
laws. And
write it in their
sight, so that they may
observe its
whole design and
all its
statutes and
do them.
12
"This is the
law of the
house : its
entire area on the
top of the
mountain all around shall be
most holy.
Behold,
this is the
law of the
house.
