¹ Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:

² And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.

³ And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.

⁴ And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.

⁵ So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.

⁶ And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.

⁷ And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.

⁸ In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger.

⁹ Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.

¹⁰ Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.

¹¹ And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.

¹² This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

¹³ And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place of the altar.

¹⁴ And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower settle 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.

¹⁵ So the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and upward shall be four horns.

¹⁶ And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof.

¹⁷ And the settle shall be fourteen cubits long and fourteen broad in the four squares thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit about; and his stairs shall look toward the east.

¹⁸ And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.

¹⁹ And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin offering.

²⁰ And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.

²¹ Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.

²² And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bullock.

²³ When thou hast made an end of cleansing it, thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.

²⁴ And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the LORD.

²⁵ Seven 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.

²⁶ Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.

²⁷ And when these days are expired, it shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD.

¹ Afterward he brought ^H3212 me to the gate, ^H8179 even the gate ^H8179 that looketh ^H6437 toward ^H1870 the east: ^H6921

² And, behold, the glory ^H3519 of the God ^H430 of Israel ^H3478 came ^H935 from the way ^H1870 of the east: ^H6921 and his voice ^H6963 was like a noise ^H6963 of many ^H7227 waters: ^H4325 and the earth ^H776 shined ^H215 with his glory. ^H3519

³ And it was according to the appearance ^H4758 of the vision ^H4758 which I saw, ^H7200 even according to the vision ^H4758 that I saw ^H7200 when I came ^H935 to destroy ^H7843 the city: ^H5892 and the visions ^H4759 were like the vision ^H4758 that I saw ^H7200 by the river ^H5104 Chebar; ^H3529 and I fell ^H5307 upon my face. ^H6440

⁴ And the glory ^H3519 of the LORD ^H3068 came ^H935 into the house ^H1004 by the way ^H1870 of the gate ^H8179 whose prospect ^H6440 is toward ^H1870 the east. ^H6921

⁵ So the spirit ^H7307 took me up, ^H5375 and brought ^H935 me into the inner ^H6442 court; ^H2691 and, behold, the glory ^H3519 of the LORD ^H3068 filled ^H4390 the house. ^H1004

⁶ And I heard ^H8085 him speaking ^H1696 unto me out of the house; ^H1004 and the man ^H376 stood ^H5975 by me. ^H681

⁷ And he said ^H559 unto me, Son ^H1121 of man, ^H120 the place ^H4725 of my throne, ^H3678 and the place ^H4725 of the soles ^H3709 of my feet, ^H7272 where I will dwell ^H7931 in the midst ^H8432 of the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 for ever, ^H5769 and my holy ^H6944 name, ^H8034 shall the house ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478 no more defile, ^H2930 neither they, nor their kings, ^H4428 by their whoredom, ^H2184 nor by the carcases ^H6297 of their kings ^H4428 in their high places. ^H1116

⁸ In their setting ^H5414 of their threshold ^H5592 by my thresholds, ^H5592 and their post ^H4201 by ^H681 my posts, ^H4201 and the wall ^H7023 between me and them, they have even defiled ^H2930 my holy ^H6944 name ^H8034 by their abominations ^H8441 that they have committed: ^H6213 wherefore I have consumed ^H3615 them in mine anger. ^H639

⁹ Now let them put away ^H7368 their whoredom, ^H2184 and the carcases ^H6297 of their kings, ^H4428 far ^H7368 from me, and I will dwell ^H7931 in the midst ^H8432 of them for ever. ^H5769

¹⁰ Thou son ^H1121 of man, ^H120 shew ^H5046 the house ^H1004 to the house ^H1004 of Israel, ^H3478 that they may be ashamed ^H3637 of their iniquities: ^H5771 and let them measure ^H4058 the pattern. ^H8508

¹¹ And if they be ashamed ^H3637 of all that they have done, ^H6213 shew ^H3045 them the form ^H6699 of the house, ^H1004 and the fashion ^H8498 thereof, and the goings out ^H4161 thereof, and the comings ^H4126 in thereof, and all the forms ^H6699 thereof, and all the ordinances ^H2708 thereof, and all the forms ^H6699 thereof, and all the laws ^H8451 thereof: and write ^H3789 it in their sight, ^H5869 that they may keep ^H8104 the whole form ^H6699 thereof, and all the ordinances ^H2708 thereof, and do ^H6213 them.

¹² This is the law ^H8451 of the house; ^H1004 Upon the top ^H7218 of the mountain ^H2022 the whole limit ^H1366 thereof round about ^H5439 shall be most ^H6944 holy. ^H6944 Behold, this is the law ^H8451 of the house. ^H1004

¹³ And these are the measures ^H4060 of the altar ^H4196 after the cubits: ^H520 The cubit ^H520 is a cubit ^H520 and an hand breadth; ^H2948 even the bottom ^H2436 shall be a cubit, ^H520 and the breadth ^H7341 a cubit, ^H520 and the border ^H1366 thereof by the edge ^H8193 thereof round about ^H5439 shall be a ^H259 span: ^H2239 and this shall be the higher place ^H1354 of the altar. ^H4196

¹⁴ And from the bottom ^H2436 upon the ground ^H776 even to the lower ^H8481 settle ^H5835 shall be two ^H8147 cubits, ^H520 and the breadth ^H7341 one ^H259 cubit; ^H520 and from the lesser ^H6996 settle ^H5835 even to the greater ^H1419 settle ^H5835 shall be four ^H702 cubits, ^H520 and the breadth ^H7341 one cubit. ^H520

¹⁵ So the altar ^{H741 H2025} shall be four ^H702 cubits; ^H520 and from the altar ^H741 and upward ^H4605 shall be four ^H702 horns. ^H7161

¹⁶ And the altar ^H741 shall be twelve ^{H8147 H6240} cubits long, ^H753 twelve ^{H8147 H6240} broad, ^H7341 square ^H7251 in the four ^H702 squares ^H7253 thereof.

¹⁷ And the settle ^H5835 shall be fourteen ^{H702 H6240} cubits long ^H753 and fourteen ^{H702 H6240} broad ^H7341 in the four ^H702 squares ^H7253 thereof; and the border ^H1366 about ^H5439 it shall be half ^H2677 a cubit; ^H520 and the bottom ^H2436 thereof shall be a cubit ^H520 about; ^H5439 and his stairs ^H4609 shall look ^H6437 toward the east. ^H6921

¹⁸ And he said ^H559 unto me, Son ^H1121 of man, ^H120 thus saith ^H559 the Lord ^H136 GOD; ^H3069 These are the ordinances ^H2708 of the altar ^H4196 in the day ^H3117 when they shall make ^H6213 it, to offer ^H5927 burnt offerings ^H5930 thereon, and to sprinkle ^H2236 blood ^H1818 thereon.

¹⁹ And thou shalt give ^H5414 to the priests ^H3548 the Levites ^H3881 that be of the seed ^H2233 of Zadok, ^H6659 which approach ^H7138 unto me, to minister ^H8334 unto me, saith ^H5002 the Lord ^H136 GOD, ^H3069 a young ^{H1121 H1241} bullock ^H6499 for a sin offering. ^H2403

²⁰ And thou shalt take ^H3947 of the blood ^H1818 thereof, and put ^H5414 it on the four ^H702 horns ^H7161 of it, and on the four ^H702 corners ^H6438 of the settle, ^H5835 and upon the border ^H1366 round about: ^H5439 thus shalt thou cleanse ^H2398 and purge ^H3722 it.

²¹ Thou shalt take ^H3947 the bullock ^H6499 also of the sin offering, ^H2403 and he shall burn ^H8313 it in the appointed place ^H4662 of the house, ^H1004 without ^H2351 the sanctuary. ^H4720

²² And on the second ^H8145 day ^H3117 thou shalt offer ^H7126 a kid ^H8163 of the goats ^H5795 without blemish ^H8549 for a sin offering; ^H2403 and they shall cleanse ^H2398 the altar, ^H4196 as they did cleanse ^H2398 it with the bullock. ^H6499

²³ When thou hast made an end ^H3615 of cleansing ^H2398 it, thou shalt offer ^H7126 a young ^{H1121 H1241} bullock ^H6499 without blemish, ^H8549 and a ram ^H352 out of the flock ^H6629 without blemish. ^H8549

²⁴ And thou shalt offer ^H7126 them before ^H6440 the LORD, ^H3068 and the priests ^H3548 shall cast ^H7993 salt ^H4417 upon them, and they shall offer them up ^H5927 for a burnt offering ^H5930 unto the LORD. ^H3068

²⁵ Seven ^H7651 days ^H3117 shalt thou prepare ^H6213 every day ^H3117 a goat ^H8163 for a sin offering: ^H2403 they shall also prepare ^H6213 a young ^{H1121 H1241} bullock, ^H6499 and a ram ^H352 out of the flock, ^H6629 without blemish. ^H8549

²⁶ Seven ^H7651 days ^H3117 shall they purge ^H3722 the altar ^H4196 and purify ^H2891 it; and they shall consecrate themselves. ^{H4390 H3027}

²⁷ And when these days ^H3117 are expired, ^H3615 it shall be, that upon the eighth ^H8066 day, ^H3117 and so forward, ^H1973 the priests ^H3548 shall make ^H6213 your burnt offerings ^H5930 upon the altar, ^H4196 and your peace offerings; ^H8002 and I will accept ^H7521 you, saith ^H5002 the Lord ^H136 GOD. ^H3069

⁶ And I heard one speaking unto me out of the house; and a man stood by me.

⁷ And he said unto me, Son of man, `this is' the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever.

⁹ Now let them put away their whoredom, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me; and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.

¹⁰ Thou, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.

¹¹ And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known unto them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the egresses thereof, and the entrances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.

¹² This is the law of the house: upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

¹³ And these are the measures of the altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about a span; and this shall be the base of the altar.

¹⁴ And from the bottom upon the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.

¹⁵ And the upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns.

¹⁷ And the ledge shall be fourteen `cubits' long by fourteen broad in the four sides thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit round about; and the steps thereof shall look toward the east.

¹⁸ And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt-offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.

¹⁹ Thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who are near unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord Jehovah, a young bullock for a sin-offering.

²⁰ And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the ledge, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse it and make atonement for it.

²¹ Thou shalt also take the bullock of the sin-offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.

¹ And he causeth me to go to the gate, the gate that is looking eastward.

² And lo, the honour of the God of Israel hath come from the way of the east, and His voice `is' as the noise of many waters, and the earth hath shone from His honour.

³ And according to the appearance `is' the appearance that I saw, as the appearance that I saw in my coming in to destroy the city, and the appearances `are' as the appearance that I saw at the river Chebar, and I fall on my face.

⁴ And the honour of Jehovah hath come in unto the house, the way of the gate whose face `is' eastward.

⁵ And take me up doth the Spirit, and bringeth me in unto the inner court, and lo, the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house.

⁶ And I hear one speaking unto me from the house, and a man hath been standing near me,

⁷ and He saith unto me: `Son of man, the place of My throne, And the place of the soles of My feet, Where I dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel to the age, Defile no more do the house of Israel My holy name, They, and their kings, by their whoredom, And by the carcases of their kings -- their high places.

⁸ In their putting their threshold with My threshold, And their door-post near My door-post, And the wall between Me and them, And they have defiled My holy name, By their abominations that they have done, And I consume them in Mine anger.

⁹ Now do they put far off their whoredom, And the carcases of their kings -- from Me, And I have dwelt in their midst to the age.

¹⁰ Thou, son of man, Shew the house of Israel the house, And they are ashamed of their iniquities, And they have measured the measurement.

¹¹ And since they have been ashamed of all that they have done, The form of the house, and its measurement, And its outlets, and its inlets, and all its forms, And all its statutes, even all its forms, And all its laws cause them to know, And write `it' before their eyes, And they observe all its forms, And all its statutes, and have done them.

¹² This `is' a law of the house: on the top of the mountain, all its border all round about `is' most holy; lo, this `is' a law of the house.

¹³ `And these `are' measures of the altar by cubits: The cubit `is' a cubit and a handbreadth, and the centre `is' a cubit, and a cubit the breadth; and its border on its edge round about `is' one span, and this `is' the upper part of the altar.

¹⁴ And from the centre of the ground unto the lower border `is' two cubits, and the breadth one cubit, and from the lesser border unto the greater border four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.

¹⁵ `And the altar `is' four cubits, and from the altar and upward `are' four horns.

¹⁶ And the altar `is' twelve long by twelve broad, square in its four squares.

¹⁷ And the border `is' fourteen long by fourteen broad, at its four squares, and the border round about it `is' half a cubit, and the centre to it `is' a cubit round about, and its steps are looking eastward.'

¹⁸ And He saith unto me, `Son of man, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: These `are' statutes of the altar in the day of its being made to cause burnt-offering to go up on it, and to sprinkle on it blood.

¹⁹ And thou hast given unto the priests, the Levites, who `are' of the seed of Zadok -- who are near unto Me, an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, to serve Me -- a calf from the herd, for a sin-offering.

²⁰ And thou hast taken of its blood, and hast put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of its border, and on the border round about, and hast cleansed it, and purified it.

²¹ And thou hast taken the bullock of the sin-offering, and hast burnt it in the appointed place of the house at the outside of the sanctuary.

²² And on the second day thou dost bring near a kid of the goats, a perfect one, for a sin-offering, and they have cleansed the altar, as they cleansed `it' for the bullock.

²³ In thy finishing cleansing, thou dost bring near a calf, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and a ram out of the flock, a perfect one.

²⁴ And thou hast brought them near before Jehovah, and the priests have cast upon them salt, and have caused them to go up, a burnt-offering to Jehovah.

²⁵ Seven days thou dost prepare a goat for a sin-offering daily, and a bullock, a son of the herd, and a ram out of the flock, perfect ones, do they prepare.

²⁶ Seven days they purify the altar, and have cleansed it, and filled their hand.

²⁷ And the days are completed, and it hath come to pass on the eighth day, and henceforth, the priests prepare on the altar your burnt-offerings and your peace-offerings, and I have accepted you -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'

¹ And he brought me unto the gate, the gate which looked toward the east.

² And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east; and his voice was like the voice of many waters; and the earth was lit up with his glory.

³ And the appearance of the vision that I saw was according to the vision that I had seen when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar: and I fell upon my face.

⁴ And the glory of Jehovah came into the house by the way of the gate whose front was toward the east.

⁵ And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house.

⁶ And I heard one speaking unto me out of the house; and a man was standing by me.

⁷ And he said unto me, Son of man, [this is] the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever; and the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, they nor their kings, with their fornication, and with the carcases of their kings [in] their high places,

⁸ in that they set their threshold by my threshold, and their post by my post, and [there was only] a wall between me and them, and they defiled my holy name with their abominations which they committed; and I consumed them in mine anger.

⁹ Now let them put away their fornication, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.

¹⁰ Thou, son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be confounded at their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.

¹¹ And if they be confounded at all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, and its fashion, and its goings out, and its comings in, and all its forms, and all its statutes, yea, all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof; and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the statutes thereof, and do them.

¹² This is the law of the house: Upon the top of the mountain all its border round about is most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

¹³ And these are the measures of the altar in cubits: the cubit is a cubit and a hand breadth. The bottom was a cubit [in height] and the breadth a cubit, and its border on the edge thereof round about, one span: and this was the base of the altar.

¹⁴ And from the bottom upon the ground to the lower settle was two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the small settle to the great settle, four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.

¹⁵ And the upper altar was four cubits; and from the hearth of ùGod and upward were four horns.

¹⁶ And the hearth of ùGod was twelve [cubits] long, by twelve broad, square in the four sides thereof.

¹⁷ And the settle was fourteen [cubits] long by fourteen broad in the four sides thereof; and the border about it, half a cubit; and the bottom thereof a cubit round about: and its steps looked toward the east.

¹⁸ And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer up burnt-offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.

¹⁹ And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who come near unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord Jehovah, a young bullock for a sin-offering.

²⁰ And thou shalt take of its blood, and put it on the four horns thereof, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: so shalt thou purge and make atonement for it.

²¹ And thou shalt take the bullock of the sin-offering, and it shall be burned in the appointed place of the house, outside the sanctuary.

²² And on the second day thou shalt present a he-goat without blemish for a sin-offering; and they shall purge the altar, as they purged it with the bullock.

²³ When thou hast ended purging it, thou shalt present a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish;

²⁴ and thou shalt present them before Jehovah; and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah.

²⁵ Seven days shalt thou offer daily a goat for a sin-offering; they shall also offer a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.

²⁶ Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it, and consecrate it.

²⁷ And when these days are ended, it shall be that upon the eighth day and onwards the priests shall offer your burnt-offerings upon the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord Jehovah.

¹ Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east.

² Behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shined with his glory.

³ It was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.

⁴ The glory of Yahweh came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.

⁵ The Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of Yahweh filled the house.

⁶ I heard one speaking to me out of the house; and a man stood by me.

⁷ He said to me, Son of man, [this is] the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their prostitution, and by the dead bodies of their kings [in] their high places;

⁸ in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their door-post beside my door-post, and there was [but] the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: therefore I have consumed them in my anger.

⁹ Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me; and I will dwell in the midst of them forever.

¹⁰ You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.

¹¹ If they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, and the fashion of it, and the exits of it, and the entrances of it, and all the forms of it, and all the ordinances of it, and all the forms of it, and all the laws of it; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form of it, and all the ordinances of it, and do them.

¹² This is the law of the house: on the top of the mountain the whole limit of it round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

¹³ These are the measures of the altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border of it by the edge of it round about a span; and this shall be the base of the altar.

¹⁴ From the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.

¹⁵ The upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns.

¹⁶ The altar hearth shall be twelve [cubits] long by twelve broad, square in the four sides of it.

¹⁷ The ledge shall be fourteen [cubits] long by fourteen broad in the four sides of it; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom of it shall be a cubit round about; and the steps of it shall look toward the east.

¹⁸ He said to me, Son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.

¹⁹ You shall give to the priests the Levites who are of the seed of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me, says the Lord Yahweh, a young bull for a sin-offering.

²⁰ You shall take of the blood of it, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border round about: thus shall you cleanse it and make atonement for it.

²¹ You shall also take the bull of the sin-offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.

²² On the second day you shall offer a male goat without blemish for a sin-offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bull.

²³ When you have made an end of cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.

²⁴ You shall bring them near before Yahweh, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to Yahweh.

²⁵ Seven days shall you prepare every day a goat for a sin-offering: they shall also prepare a young bull, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.

²⁶ Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they consecrate it.

²⁷ When they have accomplished the days, it shall be that on the eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹ And he took me to the doorway looking to the east:

² And there was the glory of the God of Israel coming from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of great waters, and the earth was shining with his glory.

³ And the vision which I saw was like the vision I had seen when he came for the destruction of the town: and like the vision which I saw by the river Chebar; and I went down on my face.

⁴ And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the doorway looking to the east.

⁵ And the spirit, lifting me up, took me into the inner square; and I saw that the house was full of the glory of the Lord.

⁶ And the voice of one talking to me came to my ears from inside the house; and the man was by my side.

⁷ And he said to me, Son of man, this is the place where the seat of my power is and the resting-place of my feet, where I will be among the children of Israel for ever: and no longer will the people of Israel make my holy name unclean, they or their kings, by their loose ways and by the dead bodies of their kings;

⁸ By putting their doorstep by my doorstep, and the pillar of their door by the pillar of my door, with only a wall between me and them; and they have made my holy name unclean by the disgusting things which they have done: so in my wrath I sent destruction on them.

⁹ Now let them put their loose ways and the dead bodies of their kings far from me, and I will be among them for ever.

¹⁰ You, son of man, give the children of Israel an account of this house, so that they may be shamed because of their evil-doing: and let them see the vision of it and its image.

¹¹ And they will be shamed by what they have done; so give them the knowledge of the form of the house and its structure, and the ways out of it and into it, and all its laws and its rules, writing it down for them: so that they may keep all its laws and do them.

¹² This is the law of the house: On the top of the mountain all the space round it on every side will be most holy. See, this is the law of the house.

¹³ And these are the measures of the altar in cubits: (the cubit being a cubit and a hand's measure;) its hollow base is a cubit high and a cubit wide, and it has an overhanging edge as wide as a hand-stretch all round it:

¹⁴ And from the base on the earth level to the lower shelf, the altar is two cubits high and a cubit wide; and from the smaller shelf to the greater shelf it is four cubits high and a cubit wide.

¹⁵ And the fireplace is four cubits high: and coming up from the fireplace are the horns, a cubit high.

¹⁶ And the fireplace is twelve cubits long and twelve cubits wide, square on its four sides.

¹⁷ And the shelf is fourteen cubits long and fourteen cubits wide, on its four sides; the edge round it is half a cubit; the base of it is a cubit all round, and its steps are facing the east.

¹⁸ And he said to me, Son of man, the Lord God has said, These are the rules for the altar, when they make it, for the offering of burned offerings on it and the draining out of the blood.

¹⁹ You are to give to the priests, the Levites of the seed of Zadok, who come near to me, says the Lord God, to do my work, a young ox for a sin-offering.

²⁰ You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns and on the four angles of the shelf and on the edge all round: and you are to make it clean and free from sin.

²¹ And you are to take the ox of the sin-offering, and have it burned in the special place ordered for it in the house, outside the holy place.

²² And on the second day you are to have a he-goat without any mark on it offered for a sin-offering; and they are to make the altar clean as they did with the young ox.

²³ And after you have made it clean, let a young ox without a mark be offered, and a male sheep from the flock without a mark.

²⁴ And you are to take them before the Lord, and the priests will put salt on them, offering them up for a burned offering to the Lord.

²⁵ Every day for seven days you are to give a goat for a sin-offering: and let them give in addition a young ox and a male sheep from the flock without any mark on them.

²⁶ For seven days they are to make offerings to take away sin from the altar and to make it clean; so they are to make it holy.

²⁷ And when these days have come to an end, then on the eighth day and after, the priests will make your burned offerings on the altar and your peace-offerings; and I will take pleasure in you, says the Lord.
