Ezechiel Chapter 43

The glory of God returns to the new temple. The Israelites shall no more
profane God's name by idolatry: the prophet is commanded to shew them
the dimensions, and form of the temple, and of the altar, with the
sacrifices to be offered thereon.

43:10. But thou, son of man, shew to the house of Israel the temple, and
