Ezekiel 22:26
22:26 Her priests abuse my law and have desecrated my holy things. They do not distinguish between the holy and the profane,
or recognize any distinction between the unclean and the clean. They ignore
my Sabbaths and I am profaned in their midst.
Ezekiel 44:23
44:23 Moreover, they will teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and show them how to distinguish between the ceremonially unclean and the clean.

48:15 “The remainder, one and two-thirds miles in width and eight and a quarter miles in length, will be for common use by the city, for houses and for open space. The city will be in the middle of it;
Leviticus 10:10
10:10 as well as
to distinguish between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean,
Luke 16:26
16:26 Besides all this,
a great chasm
has been fixed between us,
so that those who want to cross over from here to you cannot do so, and no one can cross from there to us.’

16:2 So
he called the manager
in and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you?
Turn in the account of your administration,
because you can no longer be my manager.’
Colossians 1:17
1:17 He himself is before all things and all things are held together in him.
Revelation 21:10-27
21:10 So
he took me away in the Spirit
to a huge, majestic mountain
and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.
21:11 The city possesses
the glory of God; its brilliance is like a precious jewel, like a stone of crystal-clear jasper.
21:12 It has
a massive, high wall
with twelve gates,
with twelve angels at the gates, and the names of the twelve tribes of the nation of Israel
are written on the gates.
21:13 There are
three gates on the east side, three gates on the north side, three gates on the south side and three gates on the west side.
21:14 The
wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
21:15 The angel who spoke to me had a golden measuring rod with which to measure the city and its foundation stones and wall.
21:16 Now the city is laid out as a square, its length and width the same. He measured the city with the measuring rod at fourteen hundred miles (its length and width and height are equal).
21:17 He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits according to human measurement, which is also the angel’s.
21:18 The city’s wall is made of jasper and the city is pure gold, like transparent glass.
21:19 The foundations of the city’s wall are decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation is jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,
21:20 the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
21:21 And the twelve gates are twelve pearls – each one of the gates is made from just one pearl! The main street of the city is pure gold, like transparent glass.
21:22 Now I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God – the All-Powerful – and the Lamb are its temple.
21:23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God lights it up, and its lamp is the Lamb.
21:24 The nations will walk by its light and the kings of the earth will bring their grandeur into it.
21:25 Its gates will never be closed during the day (and there will be no night there).
21:26 They will bring the grandeur and the wealth of the nations into it,
21:27 but nothing ritually unclean will ever enter into it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or practices falsehood, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
