                                                             speaking vnto me out of the house: and there
            both according to their facions, and according to  stoode a man by me,   7  Which saide vnto me,

            ye chambers that were towarde the South, was     place of the soles of my feete, whereas I will
            a doore in the corner of the way, euen the way   dwell among the children of Israel for euer, and
            directly before the wall toward the East, as one  the house of Israel shall no more defile mine
            entreth.  13 The said he vnto me, The North cham-  holy Name, neither they, nor their Kings by
            bers and ye South chambers which are before ye   their fornication, nor by the carkeises of their
            separate place, they be holy chambers, wherein   Kings in their high places. Albeit they set their

            most holy things, and the meate offering, and the
            sinne offering, and the trespasse offring: for the  me and them) yet haue they defiled mine holy
            place is holy.  14 When the Priestes enter therein,  Name with their abominations, that they haue
