Afterward he brought{H3212} me to the gate,{H8179} even the gate{H8179} that looketh{H6437} toward{H1870} the east.{H6921}

And, behold, the glory{H3519} of the God{H430} of Israel{H3478} came{H935} from the way{H1870} of the east:{H6921} and his voice{H6963} was like the sound{H6963} of many{H7227} waters;{H4325} and the earth{H776} shined{H215} with his glory.{H3519}

And it was according to the appearance{H4758} of the vision{H4758} which I saw,{H7200} even according to the vision{H4758} that I saw{H7200} when I came{H935} to destroy{H7843} the city;{H5892} and the visions{H4759} were like the vision{H4758} that I saw{H7200} by the river{H5104} Chebar;{H3529} and I fell{H5307} upon my face.{H6440}

And the glory{H3519} of Jehovah{H3068} came{H935} into the house{H1004} by the way{H1870} of the gate{H8179} whose prospect{H6440} is toward{H1870} the east.{H6921}

And the Spirit{H7307} took me up,{H5375} and brought{H935} me into the inner{H6442} court;{H2691} and, behold, the glory{H3519} of Jehovah{H3068} filled{H4390} the house.{H1004}

And I heard{H8085} one speaking{H1696} unto me out of the house;{H1004} and a man{H376} stood{H5975} by me.{H681}

And he said{H559} unto me, Son{H1121} of man,{H120} [this is] the place{H4725} of my throne,{H3678} and the place{H4725} of the soles{H3709} of my feet,{H7272} where I will dwell{H7931} in the midst{H8432} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} for ever.{H5769} And the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} shall no more defile{H2930} my holy{H6944} name,{H8034} neither they, nor their kings,{H4428} by their whoredom,{H2184} and by the dead bodies{H6297} of their kings{H4428} [in] their high places;{H1116}

in their setting{H5414} of their threshold{H5592} by my threshold,{H5592} and their door-post{H4201} beside{H681} my door-post,{H4201} and there was [but] the wall{H7023} between me and them; and they have defiled{H2930} my holy{H6944} name{H8034} by their abominations{H8441} which they have committed:{H6213} wherefore I have consumed{H3615} them in mine anger.{H639}

Now let them put away{H7368} their whoredom,{H2184} and the dead bodies{H6297} of their kings,{H4428} far{H7368} from me; and I will dwell{H7931} in the midst{H8432} of them for ever.{H5769}

Thou, son{H1121} of man,{H120} show{H5046} the house{H1004} to the house{H1004} of Israel,{H3478} that they may be ashamed{H3637} of their iniquities;{H5771} and let them measure{H4058} the pattern.{H8508}

And if they be ashamed{H3637} of all that they have done,{H6213} make known{H3045} unto them the form{H6699} of the house,{H1004} and the fashion{H8498} thereof, and the egresses{H4161} thereof, and the entrances{H4126} thereof, and all the forms{H6699} thereof, and all the ordinances{H2708} thereof, and all the forms{H6699} thereof, and all the laws{H8451} thereof; and write{H3789} it in their sight;{H5869} that they may keep{H8104} the whole form{H6699} thereof, and all the ordinances{H2708} thereof, and do{H6213} them.

This is the law{H8451} of the house:{H1004} upon the top{H7218} of the mountain{H2022} the whole limit{H1366} thereof round about{H5439} shall be most{H6944} holy.{H6944} Behold, this is the law{H8451} of the house.{H1004}

And these are the measures{H4060} of the altar{H4196} by cubits{H520} (the cubit{H520} is a cubit{H520} and a handbreadth):{H2948} the bottom{H2436} shall be a cubit,{H520} and the breadth{H7341} a cubit,{H520} and the border{H1366} thereof by the edge{H8193} thereof round about{H5439} a{H259} span;{H2239} and this shall be the base{H1354} of the altar.{H4196}

And from the bottom{H2436} upon the ground{H776} to the lower{H8481} ledge{H5835} shall be two{H8147} cubits,{H520} and the breadth{H7341} one{H259} cubit;{H520} and from the lesser{H6996} ledge{H5835} to the greater{H1419} ledge{H5835} shall be four{H702} cubits,{H520} and the breadth{H7341} a cubit.{H520}

And the upper altar{H741} shall be four{H702} cubits;{H520} and from the altar{H741} hearth and upward{H4605} there shall be four{H702} horns.{H7161}

And the altar{H741} hearth shall be twelve{H8147} [cubits] long{H753} by twelve{H8147} broad,{H7341} square{H7251} in the four{H702} sides{H7253} thereof.

And the ledge{H5835} shall be fourteen{H702} [cubits] long{H753} by fourteen{H702} broad{H7341} in the four{H702} sides{H7253} thereof; and the border{H1366} about{H5439} it shall be half{H2677} a cubit;{H520} and the bottom{H2436} thereof shall be a cubit{H520} round about;{H5439} and the steps{H4609} thereof shall look{H6437} toward the east.{H6921}

And he said{H559} unto me, Son{H1121} of man,{H120} thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H3069} These are the ordinances{H2708} of the altar{H4196} in the day{H3117} when they shall make{H6213} it, to offer{H5927} burnt-offerings{H5930} thereon, and to sprinkle{H2236} blood{H1818} thereon.

Thou shalt give{H5414} to the priests{H3548} the Levites{H3881} that are of the seed{H2233} of Zadok,{H6659} who are near{H7138} unto me, to minister{H8334} unto me, saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah,{H3069} a young{H1121} bullock{H6499} for a sin-offering.{H2403}

And thou shalt take{H3947} of the blood{H1818} thereof, and put{H5414} it on the four{H702} horns{H7161} of it, and on the four{H702} corners{H6438} of the ledge,{H5835} and upon the border{H1366} round about:{H5439} thus shalt thou cleanse{H2398} it and make atonement{H3722} for it.

Thou shalt also take{H3947} the bullock{H6499} of the sin-offering,{H2403} and it shall be burnt{H8313} in the appointed place{H4662} of the house,{H1004} without{H2351} the sanctuary.{H4720}

And on the second{H8145} day{H3117} thou shalt offer{H7126} a{H8163} he-goat{H5795} without blemish{H8549} for a sin-offering;{H2403} and they shall cleanse{H2398} the altar,{H4196} as they did cleanse{H2398} it with the bullock.{H6499}

When thou hast made an end{H3615} of cleansing{H2398} it, thou shalt offer{H7126} a young{H1121} bullock{H6499} without blemish,{H8549} and a ram{H352} out of the flock{H6629} without blemish.{H8549}

And thou shalt bring{H7126} them near before{H6440} Jehovah,{H3068} and the priests{H3548} shall cast{H7993} salt{H4417} upon them, and they shall offer them up{H5927} for a burnt-offering{H5930} unto Jehovah.{H3068}

Seven{H7651} days{H3117} shalt thou prepare{H6213} every day{H3117} a goat{H8163} for a sin-offering:{H2403} they shall also prepare{H6213} a young{H1121} bullock,{H6499} and a ram{H352} out of the flock,{H6629} without blemish.{H8549}

Seven{H7651} days{H3117} shall they make atonement{H3722} for the altar{H4196} and purify{H3722} it; so shall they consecrate it.{H4390}

And when they have accomplished{H3615} the days,{H3117} it shall be that upon the eighth{H8066} day,{H3117} and forward,{H1973} the priests{H3548} shall make{H6213} your burnt-offerings{H8002} upon the altar,{H4196} and your peace-offerings;{H5930} and I will accept{H7521} you, saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah.{H3069}
