Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

Ezekiel 42
¹⁷ Then he measured the north side, and it was also 875 feet.
¹⁸ The south side was also 875 feet,
¹⁹ and the west side was also 875 feet.
²⁰ So the area was 875 feet on each side with a wall all around it to separate what was holy from what was common.
Ezekiel 43
¹ After this, the man brought me back around to the east gateway.
² Suddenly, the glory of the God of Israel appeared from the east. The sound of his coming was like the roar of rushing waters, and the whole landscape shone with his glory.
³ This vision was just like the others I had seen, first by the Kebar River and then when he came to destroy Jerusalem. I fell face down on the ground.
⁴ And the glory of the LORD came into the Temple through the east gateway.
⁵ Then the Spirit took me up and brought me into the inner courtyard, and the glory of the LORD filled the Temple.
⁶ And I heard someone speaking to me from within the Temple, while the man who had been measuring stood beside me.
⁷ The LORD said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place where I will rest my feet. I will live here forever among the people of Israel. They and their kings will not defile my holy name any longer by their adulterous worship of other gods or by honoring the relics of their kings who have died.
