“Yahweh said to me.
‘Son of man!
Mark well!
Look closely!
Hear attentively
To all that I shall tell you
Concerning all the ordinances
Of the temple
Of Yahweh
With all its laws!
Mark well
Those who may be admitted
To the temple!
Mark well
Those who are to be excluded
From the sanctuary!’”
Yahweh then proceeded to outline all the ordinances about the Temple to Ezekiel, the son of man. Ezekiel was to be observant, pay attention, and listen to what Yahweh had to say. Yahweh was going to enumerate all the laws about the Temple of Yahweh. Ezekiel was to take special notice about who would be admitted into the Temple. Certain people were to be excluded from the sanctuary.
