Afterward he brought me to the gate
, 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
, 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 shall be four
cubits
; and from the altar
and upward
shall be four
horns
.
And the altar shall be twelve
cubits long
, twelve
broad
, square
in the four
squares
thereof.
And the settle shall be fourteen
cubits long
and fourteen
broad
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
bullock
for a sin offering
.
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
, 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
; 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
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
: they shall also prepare
a young
bullock
, and a ram
out of the flock
, 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
.
