44 4 Then he brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the temple; and I looked, and behold, the glory of Yahweh filled the temple of Yahweh; and I fell upon my face. 44 5 And Yahweh said to me, "Son of man, mark well, see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I shall tell you concerning all the ordinances of the temple of Yahweh and all its laws; and mark well those who may be admitted to the temple and all those who are to be excluded from the sanctuary. 44 6 And say to the rebellious house, to the house of Israel, Thus says Yahweh GOD: O house of Israel, let there be an end to all your abominations, 44 7 in admitting foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and flesh, to be in my sanctuary, profaning it, when you offer to me my food, the fat and the blood. You have broken my covenant, in addition to all your abominations. 44 8 And you have not kept charge of my holy things; but you have set foreigners to keep my charge in my sanctuary. 44 9 "Therefore thus says Yahweh GOD: No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and flesh, of all the foreigners who are among the people of Israel, shall enter my sanctuary.
