1 Afterward he brought{H3212}{(H8686)} me to the gate{H8179}, even the gate{H8179} that looketh{H6437}{(H8802)} toward{H1870} the east{H6921}:

2 And, behold, the glory{H3519} of the God{H430} of Israel{H3478} came{H935}{(H8804)} from the way{H1870} of the east{H6921}: and his voice{H6963} was like a noise{H6963} of many{H7227} waters{H4325}: and the earth{H776} shined{H215}{(H8689)} with his glory{H3519}.

3 And it was according to the appearance{H4758} of the vision{H4758} which I saw{H7200}{(H8804)}, even according to the vision{H4758} that I saw{H7200}{(H8804)} when I came{H935}{(H8800)} to destroy{H7843}{(H8763)} the city{H5892}: and the visions{H4759} were like the vision{H4758} that I saw{H7200}{(H8804)} by the river{H5104} Chebar{H3529}; and I fell{H5307}{(H8799)} upon my face{H6440}.

4 And the glory{H3519} of the LORD{H3068} came{H935}{(H8804)} into the house{H1004} by the way{H1870} of the gate{H8179} whose prospect{H6440} is toward{H1870} the east{H6921}.

5 So the spirit{H7307} took me up{H5375}{(H8799)}, and brought{H935}{(H8686)} me into the inner{H6442} court{H2691}; and, behold, the glory{H3519} of the LORD{H3068} filled{H4390}{(H8804)} the house{H1004}.

6 And I heard{H8085}{(H8799)} him speaking{H1696}{(H8693)} unto me out of the house{H1004}; and the man{H376} stood{H5975}{(H8802)} by me{H681}.

7 And he said{H559}{(H8799)} unto me, Son{H1121} of man{H120}, the place{H4725} of my throne{H3678}, and the place{H4725} of the soles{H3709} of my feet{H7272}, where I will dwell{H7931}{(H8799)} in the midst{H8432} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} for ever{H5769}, and my holy{H6944} name{H8034}, shall the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} no more defile{H2930}{(H8762)}, neither they, nor their kings{H4428}, by their whoredom{H2184}, nor by the carcases{H6297} of their kings{H4428} in their high places{H1116}.

8 In their setting{H5414}{(H8800)} of their threshold{H5592} by my thresholds{H5592}, and their post{H4201} by{H681} my posts{H4201}, and the wall{H7023} between me and them, they have even defiled{H2930}{(H8765)} my holy{H6944} name{H8034} by their abominations{H8441} that they have committed{H6213}{(H8804)}: wherefore I have consumed{H3615}{(H8762)} them in mine anger{H639}.

9 Now let them put away{H7368} their whoredom{H2184}, and the carcases{H6297} of their kings{H4428}, far{H7368}{(H8762)} from me, and I will dwell{H7931}{(H8804)} in the midst{H8432} of them for ever{H5769}.

10 Thou son{H1121} of man{H120}, shew{H5046}{(H8685)} the house{H1004} to the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478}, that they may be ashamed{H3637}{(H8735)} of their iniquities{H5771}: and let them measure{H4058}{(H8804)} the pattern{H8508}.

11 And if they be ashamed{H3637}{(H8738)} of all that they have done{H6213}{(H8804)}, shew{H3045}{(H8685)} them the form{H6699} of the house{H1004}, and the fashion{H8498} thereof, and the goings out{H4161} thereof, and the comings{H4126} in 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}{(H8798)} it in their sight{H5869}, that they may keep{H8104}{(H8799)} the whole form{H6699} thereof, and all the ordinances{H2708} thereof, and do{H6213}{(H8804)} them.

12 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}.

13 And these are the measures{H4060} of the altar{H4196} after the cubits{H520}: The cubit{H520} is a cubit{H520} and an hand breadth{H2948}; even 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} shall be a{H259} span{H2239}: and this shall be the higher place{H1354} of the altar{H4196}.

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

15 So the altar{H741}{H2025} shall be four{H702} cubits{H520}; and from the altar{H741} and upward{H4605} shall be four{H702} horns{H7161}.

16 And the altar{H741} shall be twelve{H8147}{H6240} cubits long{H753}, twelve{H8147}{H6240} broad{H7341}, square{H7251}{(H8803)} in the four{H702} squares{H7253} thereof.

17 And the settle{H5835} shall be fourteen{H702}{H6240} cubits long{H753} and fourteen{H702}{H6240} broad{H7341} in the four{H702} squares{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} about{H5439}; and his stairs{H4609} shall look{H6437}{(H8800)} toward the east{H6921}.

18 And he said{H559}{(H8799)} unto me, Son{H1121} of man{H120}, thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}; These are the ordinances{H2708} of the altar{H4196} in the day{H3117} when they shall make{H6213}{(H8736)} it, to offer{H5927}{(H8687)} burnt offerings{H5930} thereon, and to sprinkle{H2236}{(H8800)} blood{H1818} thereon.

19 And thou shalt give{H5414}{(H8804)} to the priests{H3548} the Levites{H3881} that be of the seed{H2233} of Zadok{H6659}, which approach{H7138} unto me, to minister{H8334}{(H8763)} unto me, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}, a young{H1121}{H1241} bullock{H6499} for a sin offering{H2403}.

20 And thou shalt take{H3947}{(H8804)} of the blood{H1818} thereof, and put{H5414}{(H8804)} it on the four{H702} horns{H7161} of it, and on the four{H702} corners{H6438} of the settle{H5835}, and upon the border{H1366} round about{H5439}: thus shalt thou cleanse{H2398}{(H8765)} and purge{H3722}{(H8765)} it.

21 Thou shalt take{H3947}{(H8804)} the bullock{H6499} also of the sin offering{H2403}, and he shall burn{H8313}{(H8804)} it in the appointed place{H4662} of the house{H1004}, without{H2351} the sanctuary{H4720}.

22 And on the second{H8145} day{H3117} thou shalt offer{H7126}{(H8686)} a kid{H8163} of the goats{H5795} without blemish{H8549} for a sin offering{H2403}; and they shall cleanse{H2398}{(H8765)} the altar{H4196}, as they did cleanse{H2398}{(H8765)} it with the bullock{H6499}.

23 When thou hast made an end{H3615}{(H8763)} of cleansing{H2398}{(H8763)} it, thou shalt offer{H7126}{(H8686)} a young{H1121}{H1241} bullock{H6499} without blemish{H8549}, and a ram{H352} out of the flock{H6629} without blemish{H8549}.

24 And thou shalt offer{H7126}{(H8689)} them before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}, and the priests{H3548} shall cast{H7993}{(H8689)} salt{H4417} upon them, and they shall offer them up{H5927}{(H8689)} for a burnt offering{H5930} unto the LORD{H3068}.

25 Seven{H7651} days{H3117} shalt thou prepare{H6213}{(H8799)} every day{H3117} a goat{H8163} for a sin offering{H2403}: they shall also prepare{H6213}{(H8799)} a young{H1121}{H1241} bullock{H6499}, and a ram{H352} out of the flock{H6629}, without blemish{H8549}.

26 Seven{H7651} days{H3117} shall they purge{H3722}{(H8762)} the altar{H4196} and purify{H2891}{(H8765)} it; and they shall consecrate themselves{H4390}{(H8765)}{H3027}.

27 And when these days{H3117} are expired{H3615}{(H8762)}, it shall be, that upon the eighth{H8066} day{H3117}, and so forward{H1973}, the priests{H3548} shall make{H6213}{(H8799)} your burnt offerings{H5930} upon the altar{H4196}, and your peace offerings{H8002}; and I will accept{H7521}{(H8804)} you, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}.
