1Afterward he brought me to the gate , even the gate that looks towards the east .
2Behold , the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east . His voice was like the sound of many waters ; and the earth was illuminated with his glory .
3It was like 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 on my face .
4The LORD ’s glory came into the house by the way of the gate which faces towards the east .
5The Spirit took me up and brought me into the inner court ; and behold , the LORD ’s glory filled the house .
6I heard one speaking to me out of the house , and a man stood by me .
7He said to me , “Son of man , this is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet , where I will dwell amongst the children of Israel forever . The house of Israel will no more defile my holy name , neither they nor their kings , by their prostitution and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places ;
8in their setting of their threshold by my threshold and their door post beside my door post . There was a wall between me and them ; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed . Therefore I have consumed them in my anger.
9Now let them put away their prostitution , and the dead bodies of their kings far from me . Then I will dwell amongst them forever .
10“You , son of man , show the house to the house of Israel , that they may be ashamed of their iniquities ; and let them measure the pattern .
11If they are ashamed of all that they have done , make known to them the form of the house , its fashion , its exits , its entrances , its structure, all its ordinances , all its forms , and all its laws ; and write it in their sight , that they may keep the whole form of it , and all its ordinances , and do them .
12“This is the law of the house . On the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy . Behold , this is the law of the house .
13“These are the measurements of the altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a hand width ): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the width a cubit, and its border around its edge a span ; and this shall be the base of the altar .[#43:13 A normal cubit is the length from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow on a man’s arm, or about 18 inches or 46 centimetres. A hand width is about 4.3 inches or 11 cm.; #43:13 A span is the length from the tip of a man’s thumb to the tip of his little finger when his hand is stretched out (about half a cubit, or 9 inches, or 22.8 cm.)]
14From the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the width one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the width a cubit.
15The upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns .
16The altar hearth shall be twelve cubits long by twelve wide , square in its four sides .
17The ledge shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen wide in its four sides ; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and its bottom shall be a cubit around ; and its steps shall look towards the east .”
18He said to me , “Son of man , the Lord GOD says : ‘These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they make it , to offer burnt offerings on it , and to sprinkle blood on it .
19You shall give to the Levitical priests who are of the offspring of Zadok , who are near to me , to minister to me ,’ says the Lord GOD , ‘a young bull for a sin offering .
20You shall take of its blood and put it on its four horns , and on the four corners of the ledge , and on the border all around . You shall cleanse it and make atonement for it that way .
21You shall also take the bull of the sin offering , and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house , outside of the sanctuary .
22“On the second day you shall offer a male goat without defect for a sin offering ; and they shall cleanse the altar , as they cleansed it with the bull .
23When you have finished cleansing it , you shall offer a young bull without defect and a ram out of the flock without defect .
24You shall bring them near to the LORD , and the priests shall cast salt on them , and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to the LORD .
25“Seven days you shall prepare every day a goat for a sin offering . They shall also prepare a young bull and a ram out of the flock , without defect .
26Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it . So shall they consecrate it .
27When they have accomplished the days , it shall be that on the eighth day and onward , the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar and your peace offerings . Then I will accept you ,’ says the Lord GOD .”
