Thus says the Lord God: No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, of all the foreigners who are among the children of Israel, shall enter my sanctuary'—establishing a fundamental rule for the restored temple: the uncircumcised are absolutely prohibited from entering the sanctuary. The prohibition applies to all uncircumcised, whether foreign or living among Israel. The specification of heart and flesh emphasizes that this is not merely about physical circumcision but about covenant commitment. This verse establishes the boundary protecting the sanctuary.
