Foreigners disallowed in the temple

Eze 44:4–9

4Then he took me to the front of the temple by way of the northern gate, and I looked, and wow, Yahweh’s brilliance filled his temple, and I fell to my knees with my face bowed towards the ground. 5Then Yahweh told me, “Humanity’s child, pay attention and look with your eyes and listen with your ears to everything that I’m declaring to you: all the instructions about Yahweh’s temple and all its regulations. Take special note of the temple’s entrance and exits. 6Then tell the rebellious Israelis that the master Yahweh says this: Let all of your disgusting actions be enough for all you Israeli people—7that you brought foreigners with uncircumcised hearts and uncircumcised flesh to be in my sanctuary, profaning my temple, while you all were offering me food, fat and blood. You’ve all broken my agreement with all your disgusting actions. 8You haven’t carried out your duties regarding my sacred things, but on the contrary, you all appointed others to take up your duties, and you assigned them to care for my sacred place.

9“The master Yahweh says this: No foreigner from any of those who live among the people of Yisrael, may enter my sacred place if they’re not physically circumcised or if they haven’t declared themselves as my followers.
