Ezekiel 43

Afterward he brought me to the gate, even ^athe gate that looketh toward the east: ²and behold, ^bthe glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and ^chis voice was like a noise of many waters: and ^dthe earth shined with his glory. ³And it was ^eaccording to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came ^fto destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw ^gby the river Chebar; and ^eI fell upon my face. ⁴And ^bhthe glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of ^athe gate whose prospect is toward the east. ⁵So ⁱthe spirit took me up, and brought me into ^kthe inner court; and behold, ^lthe glory of the Lord filled the house. ⁶And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and ^mthe man stood by me. ⁷And he said unto me, Son of man, ⁿthe place of my throne, and ^othe place of the soles of my feet, ^pwhere I will dwell ^qin the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and ^rmy holy name, shall the house of Israel ^rsno more defile, neither they, nor their kings, ^tby their whoredom, nor ^tby the carcases of their kings in their high places. ^8uIn their setting of their threshold by ^vmy thresholds, and their post by ^wmy posts, and ^xthe wall between me and them, ^rythey have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger. ⁹Now let them put away ^ttheir whoredom, and ^tthe carcases of their kings, far from me, and ^pI will dwell in the midst of them for ever.

¹⁰Thou son of man, ^zshew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure ^athe pattern. ¹¹And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, ^bshew them the form of the house, and ^acthe fashion thereof, and ^dthe goings out thereof, and ^dthe comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and ^ddall the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and ^ddall the laws thereof: and write it ^ein their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all ^ddthe ordinances thereof, and do them. ¹²This is the law of the house; ^fUpon the top of the mountain the whole ^glimit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

¹³And these are the measures of ^hthe altar after the cubits: ⁱThe cubit is a cubit and a hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and ^gthe border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be ^ka span: and this shall be the higher place of the altar. ¹⁴And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower ^lsettle shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle even to the greater settle shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit. ¹⁵So the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and upward shall be ^mfour horns. ¹⁶And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, ⁿsquare in the four ^osquares thereof. ¹⁷And ^lthe settle shall be fourteen cubits long and fourteen broad in the four ^osquares thereof; and ^gthe border about it shall be ^khalf a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit about; and ^phis stairs shall look toward the east.

¹⁸And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord God; These are ^qthe ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and ^rto sprinkle blood thereon. ¹⁹And thou shalt give to ^sthe priests the Levites ^stthat be of the seed of Zadok, ^twhich approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord God, ^uva young bullock ^vfor a sin offering. ²⁰And ^wthou shalt take of the blood thereof, and ^wput it on ^mthe four horns of it, and on the four corners of ^xthe settle, and upon ^gythe border round about: thus ^zshalt thou cleanse and ^zzpurge it. ²¹Thou shalt take ^vthe bullock also of the sin offering, and he ^ashall burn it in ^bthe appointed place of the house, ^awithout the sanctuary. ²²And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and ^zthey shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bullock. ²³When thou hast made an end of ^zcleansing it, thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish. ²⁴And thou shalt offer them before the Lord, and the priests ^cshall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the Lord. ^25dSeven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish. ^26dSeven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves. ²⁷And when these ^edays are expired, it shall be, that ^fupon the eight day, ^gand so forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your ^hpeace offerings; and I will ⁱaccept you, saith the Lord God.
