13TheseH428 are the measurementsH4060 of the altarH4196 in long cubitsH5201 (a cubitH520 and a handbreadthH2948): Its gutterH2436 shall be a cubit deepH520 and a cubitH520 wideH7341, with a rimH1366H413 of oneH259 spanH22392 aroundH5439 its edgeH8193.

And thisH2088 is the heightH1354 of the altarH4196: 14The space from the gutterH2436 on the groundH776 toH5704 the lowerH8481 ledgeH5835 shall be twoH8147 cubitsH520, and the ledge oneH259 cubitH520 wideH7341.3 The space from the smallerH6996 ledgeH5835 toH5704 the largerH1419 ledgeH5835 shall be fourH702 cubitsH520, and the ledge one cubitH520 wideH7341.4

15The altar hearthH2025 shall be fourH702 cubitsH520 high, and fourH702 hornsH7161 shall project upwardH4605 from the hearthH741. 16The altar hearthH741 shall be squareH7251 atH413 its fourH702 cornersH7253, twelveH8147H6240 cubits longH753 and twelveH8147H6240 cubits wideH7341.5 17The ledgeH5835 shall also be squareH413H702H7253, fourteenH702H6240 cubits longH753 and fourteenH702H6240 cubits wideH7341,6 with a rimH1366 of halfH2677 a cubitH5207 and a gutterH2436 of a cubitH520 all aroundH5439 itH853. The steps of the altarH4609 shall faceH6437 eastH6921.”

18Then He saidH559 to meH413: “SonH1121 of manH120, this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559: ‘TheseH428 are the statutesH2708 for the altarH4196 on the dayH3117 it is constructedH6213, so that burnt offeringsH5930 may be sacrificedH5927 on itH5921 and bloodH1818 may be splatteredH2236 on itH5921: 19You are to giveH5414 a youngH1121 bullH6499 from the herdH1241 as a sin offeringH2403 toH413 the LeviticalH3881 priestsH3548 whoH834 are ofH1992 the familyH2233 of ZadokH6659, who approachH7138 MeH413 to minister before MeH8334, declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. 20You are to takeH3947 some of its bloodH1818 and putH5414 it onH5921 the fourH702 horns of theH7161 altar, onH413 the fourH702 cornersH6438 of the ledgeH5835H413, and all aroundH5439 the rimH1366; thus you will cleanseH2398 the altar and make atonement for itH3722. 21Then you are to take awayH3947 the bullH6499 for the sin offeringH2403 and burn itH8313 in the appointed partH4662 of the temple areaH1004 outsideH2351 the sanctuaryH4720.

22On the secondH8145 dayH3117 you are to presentH7126 an unblemishedH8549 male goatH8163H5795 as a sin offeringH2403, and the altarH4196 is to be cleansedH2398 as it wasH834H2398 with the bullH6499. 23When you have finishedH3615 the purificationH2398, you are to presentH7126 a youngH1121H1241, unblemishedH8549 bullH6499 and an unblemishedH8549 ramH352 fromH4480 the flockH6629. 24You must present themH7126 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068; the priestsH3548 are to sprinkleH7993 saltH4417 on themH5921 and sacrificeH5927 themH853 as a burnt offeringH5930 to the LORDH3068.

25For sevenH7651 daysH3117 you are to provideH6213 a male goatH8163 dailyH3117 for a sin offeringH2403; you are also to provideH6213 a young bullH6499H1121H1241 and a ramH352 fromH4480 the flockH6629, both unblemishedH8549. 26For sevenH7651 daysH3117 the priests are to make atonementH3722 for the altarH4196 and cleanse itH2891; so they shall consecrateH4390 itH3027.8 27At the endH3615 of these daysH3117H1961, from the eighthH8066 dayH3117 onH1973, the priestsH3548 are to presentH6213 your burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002 onH5921 the altarH4196. Then I will accept youH7521, declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.’”
