*
Afterward he brought me to the gate sha #
ar #,
even the gate that looketh toward the east :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east .
*
So the spirit took me up ,
and brought me into the inner court ;
and ,
behold ,
the glory of the LORD filled the house .
*
And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house ;
and the man stood by me .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Thou son of man ,
shew the house to the house of Israel Yisra #
el #,
that they may be ashamed of their iniquities :
and let them measure the pattern .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
So the altar #
ari #
eyl #
shall be four cubits ;
and from the altar #
ari #
eyl #
and upward shall be four horns .
*
And the altar #
ari #
eyl #
shall be twelve sh @
nayim #
cubits long ,
twelve sh @
nayim #
broad ,
square in the four squares thereof .
*
And the settle shall be fourteen #
H6240cubits long and fourteen #
H6240broad 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 .
*
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 .
*
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 ben #
bullock for a sin offering chatta #
ah #.
*
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 .
*
Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering chatta #
ah #,
and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house ,
without the sanctuary .
*
And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering chatta #
ah #;
and they shall cleanse the altar ,
as they did cleanse it with the bullock .
*
When thou hast made an end of cleansing it ,
thou shalt offer a young ben #
bullock without blemish ,
and a ram out of the flock without blemish .
*
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 .
*
Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin offering chatta #
ah #:
they shall also prepare a young ben #
bullock ,
and a ram out of the flock tso #
n #,
without blemish .
*
Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it ;
and they shall consecrate themselves .
*
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 .
