Now let them put their harlotry and the carcasses of their kings far away from Me, and I will dwell in their midst forever.

And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of the [f]temple and its arrangement, its exits and its entrances, its entire design and all its ordinances, all its forms and all its laws.
