The Lord Establishes His Dwelling

Ezekiel 43:7-12

He said, "Human being, this is the place for my throne, the place for the soles of my feet, where I will live among the people of Isra'el forever. The house of Isra'el, both they and their kings, will never again defile my holy name by their prostitution, by [burying] the corpses of their kings [on] their high places,

or by placing their threshold next to my threshold and their door-frames next to my door-frames, with only a common wall between me and them. Yes, they defiled my holy name by the disgusting practices they committed; which is why I destroyed them in my anger.

So now, they should put their prostitution at a distance and the corpses of their kings far away from me; then I will live among them forever.

"You, human being, describe this house to the house of Isra'el, so that they will be ashamed of their crimes. And let them measure accurately.

If they become ashamed of all they have done, show them the elevation and plan of the house, its exits and entrances, all its details and decorations, and all its specifications, its design and its Torah. Sketch it for them to see, so that they can observe the entire design with its specifications, and carry them out.

This is Torah for the house: the whole surrounding area on the mountaintop will be especially holy. This is Torah for the house."
