Gate for the Prince

1

Then He broughth7725 me backh7725 by the wayh1870 of the  aouterh2435 gateh8179 of the sanctuaryh4720, which facesh6437 the easth6921; and it was shuth5462.

2

The LORDh3068 saidh559 to me, "Thish2088 gateh8179 shall be shuth5462; it shall not be openedh6605a, and noh3808 oneh376 shall enterh935 by it, for the  aLORDh3068 Godh430 of Israelh3478 has enteredh935 by it; therefore it shall be shuth5462.

3

"As for the  aprinceh5387a, he shall sith3427 in it as princeh5387a to  beath398 breadh3899 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068; he shall  centerh935 by wayh1870 of the  dporchh197 of the gateh8179 and shall goh3318 out  1by the same wayh1870."

4

Then He broughth935 me by wayh1870 of the  anorthh6828 gateh8179 to the fronth6440 of the househ1004; and I lookedh7200, and beholdh2009, the  bgloryh3519b of the LORDh3068 filledh4390 the househ1004 of the LORDh3068, and I  cfellh5307 on my faceh6440.

5

The LORDh3068 saidh559 to me, "Sonh1121 of manh120,  1 amarkh7760 wellh3820, seeh7200 with your eyesh5869 and hearh8085 with your earsh241 allh3605 that I sayh1696 to you concerning allh3605 the  bstatutesh2708 of the househ1004 of the LORDh3068 and concerning allh3605 its lawsh8451; and  1markh7760 wellh3820 the entranceh3996 of the househ1004, with allh3605 exitsh4161 of the sanctuaryh4720.

"You shall sayh559 to the  1 arebellioush4805 onesh4805, to the househ1004 of Israelh3478, `Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136  2GODh3068, " bEnoughh7227a of allh3605 your abominationsh8441, O househ1004 of Israelh3478,

7

when you broughth935 in  aforeignersh1121h5236,  buncircumcisedh6189 in hearth3820 and uncircumcisedh6189 in fleshh1320, to be in My sanctuaryh4720 to profaneh2490c it, even My househ1004, when you  cofferedh7126 My foodh3899, the fath2459 and the bloodh1818; for they  dmadeh6565a My covenanth1285 voidh6565a--this in additionh413 to allh3605 your abominationsh8441.

8

"And you have not  akepth8104 chargeh4931 of My holyh6944 thingsh6944 yourselves, but you have seth7760 foreigners  1to keeph8104 chargeh4931 of My sanctuaryh4720."

9

`Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, " aNoh3605h3808 foreignerh1121h5236 uncircumcisedh6189 in hearth3820 and uncircumcisedh6189 in fleshh1320, of allh3605 the foreignersh1121h5236 whoh834 are amongh8432 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478, shall enterh935 My sanctuaryh4720.

12

"Becauseh3282h834 they ministeredh8334 to them  abeforeh6440 their idolsh1544 and becameh1961 a  bstumblingh4383 blockh4383 of iniquityh5771 to the househ1004 of Israelh3478, thereforeh5921h3651 I have  1 cswornh5375h3027 againsth5921 them," declaresh5002 the Lordh136 GODh3068, "that they shall  dbearh5375 the punishmenth5771 for their iniquityh5771.
