1 Afterward, he brought me to the gate, the gate that faces toward the east.

Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:

2 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the east; and his voice was like the sound of many waters, and the earth shone with his glory.

And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.

3 And it was according to the appearance of the vision I saw, like the vision I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision I saw by the River Chebar, and I fell on my face.

And it was according to 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 upon my face.

4 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by way of the gate that faces toward the east.

And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.

5 So the Spirit took me up and brought me into the inner court, and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.

So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.

6 And I heard him speaking to me out of the house; and the man stood by me.

And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.

7 And he 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 in the midst of the children of Israel forever; and the house of Israel shall no longer defile my holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their harlotry or by the corpses of their kings on their high places.

And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.

8 By setting their threshold by my threshold, and their doorpost by my doorpost, with only a wall between me and them, they have defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed; therefore I have consumed them in my anger.

In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger.

9 Now let them put away their harlotry and the corpses of their kings far from me, and I will dwell in their midst forever.

Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.

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.

Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.

11 And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, show them the design of the house, its arrangements, its exits, and its entrances, its entire design, and all its ordinances, and all its designs, and all its laws. Write it down in their sight, so they may keep its whole design and all its ordinances and do them.

And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.

12 This is the law of the house: Upon the top of the mountain, its entire area all around shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

13 These are the measurements of the altar in cubits: The cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth; the base shall be a cubit, the width a cubit, and its border on its edge all around shall be a span. This shall be the higher place of the altar.

And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place of the altar.

14 From the base on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the width one cubit; and from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge shall be four cubits, and the width one cubit.

And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower settle shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle even to the greater settle shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit.

15 So the altar shall be four cubits high, and from the altar and upward shall be four horns.

And the settle shall be fourteen cubits long and fourteen broad in the four squares thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit about; and his stairs shall look toward the east.

18 And he said to me, Son of man, thus says the Lord GOD: These are the ordinances of the altar on the day when it is made, to offer burnt offerings on it and to sprinkle blood on it.

And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.

19 You shall give to the priests, the Levites who are of the seed of Zadok, who come near to me to minister to me, says the Lord GOD, a young bull for a sin offering.

And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin offering.

20 You shall take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge, and on the rim around it; thus you shall cleanse and make atonement for it.

And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.

21 Then you shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, outside the sanctuary.

Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.

22 On the second day you shall offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering, and they shall cleanse the altar as they cleansed it with the bull.

And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bullock.

23 When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without blemish and a ram from the flock without blemish.

When thou hast made an end of cleansing it, thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.

24 You shall offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall throw salt on them, and they shall offer them up as a burnt offering to the LORD.

And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the LORD.

25 For seven days you shall prepare a goat daily for a sin offering; they shall also prepare a young bull and a ram from the flock, without blemish.

Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.

26 Seven days they shall atone for the altar and purify it, and so consecrate it.

Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.

27 When these days are over, it shall be on the eighth day and thereafter that the priests shall offer your burnt offerings and your peace offerings on the altar, and I will accept you, says the Lord GOD.

And when these days are expired, it shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD.
