Reading for May 9th

Read Ezekiel 43.1-12
The Divine Presence (chs. 1; 8-11) returns to the Temple complex through the east gate
from which it had earlier departed (10.19).
Ezekiel recalls his inaugural vision and reports that he is transported to the inner court
where he sees the glory of the LORD filling the Temple (Ex 40.34-35; 1 Kings 8.10-13).
God informs him that this will be the place of my throne (see 1 Chr 28.2; Ps 132.7;
Isa 60.13; Lam 2.1).
The corpses of their kings refers to burials of kings near the Temple (1 Kings 2.10; 11.43;
2 Kings 21.18, 26).
God instructs Ezekiel to teach the people the plan for the Temple.
This is the law of the temple: Law (Hebrew "torah") is more properly translated "instruction";
the statement summarizes God's instructions concerning the Temple.
