4 And the esteem of יהוה came into the House by way of the gate facing east.
5 And the Spirit took me up and brought me into the inner courtyard. And see, the esteem of יהוה filled the House.

9 “Now let them put their whoring and the corpses of their sovereigns far away from Me, and I shall dwell in their midst forever.
