Ezekiel 43:8-27

8in their settingH5414 of their threshold by my threshold, and their door-post beside my door-post, and there was but the wallH7023 between me and them; and they have defiledH2930 my holyH6944 nameH8034 by their abominationsH8441 which they have committed: wherefore I have consumedH398 them in mine angerH639. 9NowH6258 let them putH7368 away their whoredom, and the dead bodies of their kingsH4428, farH7368 from me; and I will dwellH7931 in the midstH8432 of them for everH5769.

10Thou, sonH1121 of manH120, show the houseH1004 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, that they may be ashamedH3637 of their iniquitiesH5771; and let them measureH4058 the pattern. 11And if they be ashamedH3637 of all that they have done, makeH6213 knownH3045 unto them the form of the houseH1004, and the fashion thereof, and the egresses thereof, and the entrances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the lawsH8451 thereof; and writeH3789 it in their sight; that they may keepH8104 the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them. 12This is the lawH8451 of the houseH1004: upon the topH7218 of the mountainH2022 the whole limit thereof roundH5439 about shall be most holyH6944. Behold, this is the lawH8451 of the houseH1004.

13And these are the measures of the altarH4196 by cubitsH520 (the cubitH520 is a cubitH520 and a handbreadth): the bottom shall be a cubitH520, and the breadthH7341 a cubitH520, and the borderH1366 thereof by the edgeH8193 thereof roundH5439 about a spanH2239; and this shall be the base of the altarH4196. 14And from the bottom upon the groundH776 to the lower ledgeH5835 shall be twoH8147 cubitsH520, and the breadthH7341 oneH259 cubitH520; and from the lesser ledgeH5835 to the greaterH1419 ledgeH5835 shall be fourH702 cubitsH520, and the breadthH7341 a cubitH520. 15And the upper altarH741 shall be fourH702 cubitsH520; and from the altarH741 hearthH741 and upwardH4605 there shall be fourH702 hornsH7161. 16And the altarH741 hearthH741 shall be twelve cubits long by twelve broad, squareH7251 in the fourH702 sides thereof. 17And the ledgeH5835 shall be fourteen cubitsH520 long by fourteen broad in the fourH702 sides thereof; and the borderH1366 about it shall be halfH2677 a cubitH520; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubitH520 roundH5439 about; and the stepsH4609 thereof shall look toward the eastH6921.

18And he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: These are the ordinances of the altarH4196 in the dayH3117 when they shall makeH6213 it, to offerH5927 burnt-offerings thereon, and to sprinkleH2236 bloodH1818 thereon. 19Thou shalt giveH5414 to the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 that are of the seedH2233 of ZadokH6659, who are near unto me, to minister unto me, saith the LordH136 Jehovah, a youngH1121 bullock for a sin-offering. 20And thou shalt takeH3947 of the bloodH1818 thereof, and putH5414 it on the fourH702 hornsH7161 of it, and on the fourH702 cornersH6438 of the ledgeH5835, and upon the borderH1366 roundH5439 about: thus shalt thou cleanseH2398 it and makeH5414 atonementH3722 for it. 21Thou shalt also takeH3947 the bullock of the sin-offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the houseH1004, without the sanctuaryH4720. 22And on the secondH8145 dayH3117 thou shalt offer a he-goat without blemish for a sin-offering; and they shall cleanseH2398 the altarH4196, as they did cleanseH2398 it with the bullock. 23When thou hast made an endH3615 of cleansingH2398 it, thou shalt offer a youngH1121 bullock without blemish, and a ramH352 out of the flockH6629 without blemish. 24And thou shalt bringH5927 them near before Jehovah, and the priestsH3548 shall castH7993 saltH4417 upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah. 25SevenH7651 daysH3117 shalt thou prepare every dayH3117 a goatH8163 for a sin-offering: they shall also prepare a youngH1121 bullock, and a ramH352 out of the flockH6629, without blemish. 26SevenH7651 daysH3117 shall they make atonementH3722 for the altarH4196 and purifyH2891 it; so shall they consecrate it. 27And when they have accomplished the daysH3117, it shall beH1961 that upon the eighthH8066 dayH3117, and forward, the priestsH3548 shall makeH6213 your burnt-offerings upon the altarH4196, and your peace-offerings; and I will acceptH7521 you, saith the LordH136 Jehovah.
