*
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 its border around its edge a span ;
and this shall be the base of the altar .
*
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 .
*
The upper altar shall be four cubits ;
and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns .
*
The altar hearth shall be twelve [
cubits ]
long by twelve broad ,
square in the four sides of it .
*
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 its bottom shall be a cubit around ;
and its steps shall look toward the east .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
You shall take of its blood ,
and put it on the four horns of it ,
and on the four corners of the ledge ,
and on the border all around :
thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it .
*
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 .
*
On the second day you shall offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering ;
and they shall cleanse the altar ,
as they cleansed it with the bull .
*
When you have finished cleansing it ,
you shall offer a young bull without blemish ,
and a ram out of the flock without blemish .
*
You shall bring them near to Yahweh ,
and the priests shall cast salt on them ,
and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to Yahweh .
*
Seven days you shall 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 .
*
Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it ;
so shall they consecrate it .
*
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 .
