nkjv - Ezekiel:43:13-27

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:13 @ "These are the measurements of the altar in cubits (the cubit is one cubit and a handbreadth): the base one cubit high and one cubit wide, with a rim all around its edge of one span. This is the height of the altar:

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:14 @ from the base on the ground to the lower ledge, two cubits; the width of the ledge, one cubit; from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge, four cubits; and the width of the ledge, one cubit.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:15 @ The altar hearth is four cubits high, with four horns extending upward from the hearth.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:16 @ The altar hearth is twelve cubits long, twelve wide, square at its four corners;

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:17 @ the ledge, fourteen cubits long and fourteen wide on its four sides, with a rim of half a cubit around it; its base, one cubit all around; and its steps face toward the east."

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:18 @ And He said to me, "Son of man, thus says the Lord GOD: "These are the ordinances for the altar on the day when it is made, for sacrificing burnt offerings on it, and for sprinkling blood on it.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:19 @ You shall give a young bull for a sin offering to the priests, the Levites, who are of the seed of Zadok, who approach Me to minister to Me,' says the Lord GOD.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:20 @ You shall take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge, and on the rim around it; thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:21 @ Then you shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and burn it in the appointed place of the temple, outside the sanctuary.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:22 @ On the second day you shall offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:23 @ When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram from the flock without blemish.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:24 @ When you offer them before the LORD, the priests shall throw salt on them, and they will offer them up as a burnt offering to the LORD.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:25 @ Every day for seven days you shall prepare a goat for a sin offering; they shall also prepare a young bull and a ram from the flock, both without blemish.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:26 @ Seven days they shall make atonement for the altar and purify it, and so consecrate it.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:27 @ When these days are over it shall be, on the eighth day and thereafter, that the priests shall offer your burnt offerings and your peace offerings on the altar; and I will accept you,' says the Lord GOD."
