Ezekiel 43:8-27
8by settingH5414 their thresholdH5592 by My thresholdH5592 and their doorH4201 postH4201 besideH681 My doorH4201 postH4201, with only the wallH7023 betweenH996 Me and them. And they have 1defiledH2930 My holyH6944 nameH8034 by their abominationsH8441 whichH834 they have committedH6213. So I have consumedH3615 them in My angerH639. 9NowH6258 let them 2putH7368 awayH7368 their harlotryH2184 and the 3corpsesH6297 of their kingsH4428 farH7368 from Me; and I will 4dwellH7931 amongH8432 them foreverH5769.
10“As for you, sonH1121 of manH120, 56describeH5046 the 7templeH1004 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, that they may be 8ashamedH3637 of their iniquitiesH5771; and let them measureH4058 the 910planH8508. 11IfH518 they are ashamedH3637 of allH3605 that they have doneH6213, makeH3045 knownH3045 to them the 11designH6699 of the houseH1004, its structureH8499, its 12exitsH4161, its entrancesH4126, allH3605 its designsH6699, allH3605 its statutesH270813, and allH3605 its lawsH8451. And writeH3789 it 14in their sightH5869, so that they may observeH8104 its wholeH3605 15designH6699 and allH3605 its statutesH2708 and 16doH6213 them. 12ThisH2088 is the 17lawH8451 of the houseH1004: its entireH3605 18areaH1366 on the topH7218 of the 19mountainH2022 allH5439 aroundH5439 shall be mostH6944 holyH6944. BeholdH2009, thisH2088 is the 20lawH8451 of the houseH1004.
13“And theseH428 are the measurementsH4060 of the 21altarH4196 by cubitsH520 (the 22cubitH520 being a cubitH520 and a handbreadthH2948): the 23baseH2436 shall be a cubitH520 and the widthH7341 a cubitH520, and its borderH1366 on its edgeH8193 roundH5439 aboutH5439 oneH259 spanH2239; and thisH2088 shall be the height of the 24baseH1354 of the altarH4196. 14From the baseH2436 on the groundH776 to the lowerH8481 25ledgeH5835 shall be twoH8147 cubitsH520 and the widthH7341 one cubitH520; and from the smallerH6996 ledgeH5835 to the largerH1419 ledgeH5835 shall be fourH702 cubitsH520 and the widthH7341 26oneH259 cubitH520. 15The 27altarH741 hearthH741 shall be fourH702 cubitsH520; and from the 28altarH741 hearthH741 shall extend upwardsH4605 fourH702 29hornsH7161. 16Now the 30altarH741 hearthH741 shall be twelveH8147H6240 cubits longH753 by twelveH8147H6240 wideH7341, 31squareH7251 in its fourH702 sidesH7253. 17The ledgeH5835 shall be fourteenH702H6240 cubits longH753 by fourteenH702H6240 wideH7341 in its fourH702 sidesH7253, the borderH1366 aroundH5439 it shall be halfH2677 a cubitH520 and its baseH2436 shall be a cubitH520 roundH5439 aboutH5439; and its 32stepsH4609 shall 3334faceH6437 the eastH6921.”
18And He saidH559 to me, “35SonH1121 of manH120, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 36GodH3068, ‘TheseH428 are the statutesH2708 for the altarH4196 on the dayH3117 it is builtH6213, to offerH5927 37burntH5930 offeringsH5930 on it and to 38sprinkleH2236 bloodH1818 on it. 19You shall giveH5414 to the LeviticalH3881 priestsH3548 whoH834 are from the offspringH2233 of 39ZadokH6659, who drawH7126 40nearH7138 to Me to ministerH8334 to Me,’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, ‘a 41youngH1121 bullH6499 for a 42sinH2403 offeringH2403. 20You shall takeH3947 someH4480 of its bloodH1818 and putH5414 it on its fourH702 43hornsH7161 and on the fourH702 cornersH6438 of the 44ledgeH5835 and on the borderH1366 roundH5439 aboutH5439; thus you shall 45cleanseH2398 it and makeH3722 atonementH3722 for it. 21You shall also takeH3947 the bullH6499 for the sinH2403 offeringH2403, and it shall be 46burnedH8313 in the appointedH4662 placeH4662 of the houseH1004, outsideH4480H2351 the sanctuaryH4720.
22‘On the secondH8145 dayH3117 you shall offerH7126 a 47maleH8163 goatH5795 withoutH8549 blemishH8549 for a sinH2403 offeringH2403, and they shall 48cleanseH2398 the altarH4196 as they cleansedH2398 it with the bullH6499. 23When you have finishedH3615 cleansingH2398 it, you shall presentH7126 a 49youngH1121 bullH6499 withoutH8549 blemishH8549 and a 50ramH352 withoutH8549 blemishH8549 from the flockH6629. 24You shall presentH7126 them beforeH6440 the LordH3068, and the priestsH3548 shall throwH7993 51saltH4417 on them, and they shall offerH5927 them up as a burntH5930 offeringH5930 to the LordH3068. 2552For sevenH7651 daysH3117 you shall prepareH6213 dailyH3117 a goatH8163 for a sinH2403 offeringH2403; also a youngH1121 bullH6499 and a ramH352 from the flockH6629, withoutH8549 blemishH8549, shall be preparedH6213. 26For sevenH7651 daysH3117 they shall makeH3722 atonementH3722 for the altarH4196 and purifyH2891 it; so shall they 53consecrateH4390H3027 it. 27When they have completedH3615 the daysH3117, it shall be that on the 54eighthH8066 dayH3117 and onwardH1973, the priestsH3548 shall 55offerH6213 your burntH5930 offeringsH5930 on the altarH4196, and your 56peaceH8002 offeringsH8002; and I will 57acceptH7521 you,’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.”
