Yahweh is There

Then the man brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the temple. I looked and saw the glory of YHWH filling the temple of YHWH, and I fell facedown.

YHWH said to me {Ezekiel}, "Son of man, look carefully, listen closely and give attention to everything I tell you concerning all the regulations regarding the temple of YHWH."

...the priests, who are Levites and descendants of Zadok and who faithfully carried out the duties of my sanctuary when the Israelites went astray from me, are to come near to minister before me.

This is what Sovereign YHWH says: "These are the boundaries by which you are to divide the land for an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel, with two portions for Joseph. You are to divide it equally among them. Because I swore with uplifted hand to give it to your forefathers, this land will become your inheritance.

You are to distribute this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. You are to allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the aliens who have settled among you and who have children. You are to consider them as native-born Israelites; along with you they are to be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel. In whatever tribe the alien settles, there you are to give him his inheritance," declares Sovereign YHWH.

"And the name of the city from that time on will be: YHWH is There."

[Yahweh, may all realize the gift of your church and respect her. Thank you for the gift of faithful ministers, priests and pastors who sacrifice to serve.]
