Ezekiel:43

*
Then he took me unto the gate ,
even the gate that locked toward the east .;
*
when lo !
the glory of the God of Israel coming from the way of the east ,
and the sound of him ,
was as the sound of many waters ,
and the earth shone with his glory ,
a
*
And it was like the appearance of the vision which I had seen like the vision which I sawwhen I came in to destroy the city ,
also the visions were like the vision which I saw by the river Chebar ,
so I fell upon my face .
*
And the glory of Yahweh entered into the house ,
by way of the gate which locked toward the east .
*
So then the spirit lifted me up ,
and brought me into the inner court ,
and lo !
the glory of Yahweh fled the house .
*
Then heard I one speaking unto me .
out of the house ,
and a man ,
there was standing beside me .
*
Then said he unto me ,
Son of man This is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet where I would dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel to times age-abiding ,-
But the house of Israel must ,
no more defile my holy Name .
They ,
nor their kings by their unchastity ,
and by the carcases of their kings in their high places ,
*
When they placed Their threshold by my threshold and their door-past beside my door-post ,
With only the wall ,
between me and them ,
then defiled they my holy Name by their abominations which they committed , -
Wherefore I devoured them in mine anger .
*
Now ,
let them remove their unchastity ,
and the carcases of their kings far from me ,-
So will I make my habitation in the midst of them ,
to times age-abiding .
*
Thou ,
son of man ,
Declare the house unto the house of Israel ,
That they may be put to the blush for their iniquities ,-
Then let them measure the pattern .
*
And when they have blushed for all that they have done ,
then The form of the house .
And the arrangement thereof And the exits thereof .
And the entrances thereof And all the forms thereof ,
and all the statutes thereof .
And all the forms thereof and all the laws thereof ,
make thou known unto them ,
And write e it before their yes ;
That they may keep All the forms thereof And all the statutes thereof .
And do them .
*
This shall be the law of the house ,
Upon the top of the mountain ,
all the boundary thereof round about on every side If shall be most holy ,
Lo !
this ,
shall be the law of the house .
*
And these ,
shall be the measures of the altar ,
in cubits ,
a cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth ;
and the hollow ,
shall be a cubit ,
and a cubit the breadth ,
and the boundary thereof unto the edge thereof round about shall he a single span .
And this ,
shall he the upper part of the altar ,
*
And from the hollow of the ground unto the lower ledge ,
four cubits ,
and the breadth ,
a cubit .
*
And the hearth ,
four .
*
And the hearth shall be twelve cubits in length ,
by twelve in breadth-square in the four sides thereof .
*
And the ledge shall he fourteen in length ,
by fourteen in breadth ,
unto the four sides thereof ,
and the boundary round about it shall be half a cubit and the hollow thereof a cubit round about ,
with the steps thereof looking toward the east .

*
Then said he unto me ,
Son of man ,
Thus saith My Lord ,
Yahweh ,
There ,
shall be the statutes of the altar ,
in the day when it is made ,
for offering up thereonan ascending-sacrifice ,
and for dashing thereonblood .
*
So then thou e shalt give unto the priests the Levites those who are of the seed of Zadok who approach unto me Declareth My Lord Yahweh .
to wait upon mea young bullock as a sin-bearer ,
*
Then shalt thou take of the blood thereof and place upon the four horns thereof and on the four corners of the ledge ,
and on the boundary ,
round about ,
and shalt cleanse it from sin and put a propitiatory-covering over it .
*
Then shalt thou take the bullock bearing sin ,-
and shalt burn it in the appointed place of the house ,
outside the sanctuary ,
*
And on the second day ,
shalt thou bring near a kid of the goats without defect as a sin-bearer ,
and they shall cleanse the altar from sin just as they cleansed it from sin with the bullock ,
*
When thou hast made an end of cleansing from sin ,
thou shalt bring near a young bullock without defect ,
and a ram out of the flock without defect ;
*
and shalt bring them near before Yahweh ,
and the priests shall east over them salt ,
so shall they cause them to go up as an ascending-sacrifice to Yahweh .
*
Seven days ,
shalt thou offer a sin-bearing goat for each day ,
and a young bullock and aram out of the flock without defect ,
shall they offer .
*
Seven days ,
shall they put a propitiatory covering over the altar ,
and shall purify it ,
and shall consecrate it .
*
When the days shall be accomplished ,
then shall it be on the eighth day and forward ,
that the priests shall offer upon the altar your ascending-sacrifices and your peace offerings .
And I will accept you Declareth ,
My Lord Yahweh .
