*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And the upper altar was four cubits ;
and from the hearth of �
God and upward were four horns .
*
And the hearth of �
God was twelve [
cubits ]
long ,
by twelve broad ,
square in the four sides thereof .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
When thou hast ended purging it ,
thou shalt present a young bullock without blemish ,
and a ram out of the flock without blemish ;
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it ,
and consecrate it .
*
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 .
