Ezekiel 43:8-27
8In their settingH5414 of their thresholdH5592 by my thresholdsH5592, and their postH4201 byH681 my postsH4201, and the wallH7023 between me and them, they have even defiledH2930 my holyH6944 nameH8034 by their abominationsH8441 that they have committedH6213: wherefore I have consumedH3615 them in mine angerH639.1 9Now let them put awayH7368 their whoredomH2184, and the carcasesH6297 of their kingsH4428, farH7368 from me, and I will dwellH7931 in the midstH8432 of them for everH5769.
10Thou sonH1121 of manH120, shewH5046 the houseH1004 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, that they may be ashamedH3637 of their iniquitiesH5771: and let them measureH4058 the patternH8508.2 11And if they be ashamedH3637 of all that they have doneH6213, shewH3045 them the formH6699 of the houseH1004, and the fashionH8498 thereof, and the goings outH4161 thereof, and the comingsH4126 in thereof, and all the formsH6699 thereof, and all the ordinancesH2708 thereof, and all the formsH6699 thereof, and all the lawsH8451 thereof: and writeH3789 it in their sightH5869, that they may keepH8104 the whole formH6699 thereof, and all the ordinancesH2708 thereof, and doH6213 them. 12This is the lawH8451 of the houseH1004; Upon the topH7218 of the mountainH2022 the whole limitH1366 thereof round aboutH5439 shall be mostH6944 holyH6944. Behold, this is the lawH8451 of the houseH1004.
13And these are the measuresH4060 of the altarH4196 after the cubitsH520: The cubitH520 is a cubitH520 and an hand breadthH2948; even the bottomH2436 shall be a cubitH520, and the breadthH7341 a cubitH520, and the borderH1366 thereof by the edgeH8193 thereof round aboutH5439 shall be aH259 spanH2239: and this shall be the higher placeH1354 of the altarH4196.34 14And from the bottomH2436 upon the groundH776 even to the lowerH8481 settleH5835 shall be twoH8147 cubitsH520, and the breadthH7341 oneH259 cubitH520; and from the lesserH6996 settleH5835 even to the greaterH1419 settleH5835 shall be fourH702 cubitsH520, and the breadthH7341 one cubitH520. 15So the altarH2025H741 shall be fourH702 cubitsH520; and from the altarH741 and upwardH4605 shall be fourH702 hornsH7161.56 16And the altarH741 shall be twelveH6240H8147 cubits longH753, twelveH6240H8147 broadH7341, squareH7251 in the fourH702 squaresH7253 thereof. 17And the settleH5835 shall be fourteenH6240H702 cubits longH753 and fourteenH6240H702 broadH7341 in the fourH702 squaresH7253 thereof; and the borderH1366 aboutH5439 it shall be halfH2677 a cubitH520; and the bottomH2436 thereof shall be a cubitH520 aboutH5439; and his stairsH4609 shall lookH6437 toward the eastH6921.
18And he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, thus saithH559 the LordH136 YhwhH3069; These are the ordinancesH2708 of the altarH4196 in the dayH3117 when they shall makeH6213 it, to offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 thereon, and to sprinkleH2236 bloodH1818 thereon. 19And thou shalt giveH5414 to the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 that be of the seedH2233 of ZadokH6659, which approachH7138 unto me, to ministerH8334 unto me, saithH5002 the LordH136 YhwhH3069, a youngH1241H1121 bullockH6499 for a sin offeringH2403. 20And thou shalt takeH3947 of the bloodH1818 thereof, and putH5414 it on the fourH702 hornsH7161 of it, and on the fourH702 cornersH6438 of the settleH5835, and upon the borderH1366 round aboutH5439: thus shalt thou cleanseH2398 and purgeH3722 it. 21Thou shalt takeH3947 the bullockH6499 also of the sin offeringH2403, and he shall burnH8313 it in the appointed placeH4662 of the houseH1004, withoutH2351 the sanctuaryH4720. 22And on the secondH8145 dayH3117 thou shalt offerH7126 a kidH8163 of the goatsH5795 without blemishH8549 for a sin offeringH2403; and they shall cleanseH2398 the altarH4196, as they did cleanseH2398 it with the bullockH6499. 23When thou hast made an endH3615 of cleansingH2398 it, thou shalt offerH7126 a youngH1241H1121 bullockH6499 without blemishH8549, and a ramH352 out of the flockH6629 without blemishH8549. 24And thou shalt offerH7126 them beforeH6440 YhwhH3068, and the priestsH3548 shall castH7993 saltH4417 upon them, and they shall offer them upH5927 for a burnt offeringH5930 unto YhwhH3068. 25SevenH7651 daysH3117 shalt thou prepareH6213 every dayH3117 a goatH8163 for a sin offeringH2403: they shall also prepareH6213 a youngH1241H1121 bullockH6499, and a ramH352 out of the flockH6629, without blemishH8549. 26SevenH7651 daysH3117 shall they purgeH3722 the altarH4196 and purifyH2891 it; and they shall consecrate themselvesH3027H4390.7 27And when these daysH3117 are expiredH3615, it shall be, that upon the eighthH8066 dayH3117, and so forwardH1973, the priestsH3548 shall makeH6213 your burnt offeringsH5930 upon the altarH4196, and your peace offeringsH8002; and I will acceptH7521 you, saithH5002 the LordH136 YhwhH3069.8
