1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, [even] the gate that looks toward the east:
2 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 shone with his glory.
3 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 [Yahweh] 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 [Yahweh] filled the house.
6 And I heard [him] speaking to me out of the house; and the man stood by me.
7 And he said to 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, will 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 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: therefore I have consumed them in my anger.
9 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.
11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, show them the form of the house, and the fashion of it, and the goings out of it, and the comings in of it, and all the forms of it, and all the ordinances of it, and all the forms of it, and all the laws of it: and write [it] in their sight, that they may keep the whole form of it, and all the ordinances of it, and do them.
12 This [is] the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit of it round about [will be] most holy. Behold, this [is] the law of the house.
13 And these [are] the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit [is] a cubit and a hand breadth; even the bottom [will be] a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border of it by the edge of it round about [will be] a span: and this [will be] the higher place of the altar.
14 And from the bottom [upon] the ground [even] to the lower settle [will be] two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle [even] to the greater settle [will be] four cubits, and the breadth [one] cubit.
15 So the altar [will be] four cubits; and from the altar and upward [will be] four horns.
16 And the altar [will be] twelve [cubits] long, twelve broad, square in the four squares of it.
17 And the settle [will be] fourteen [cubits] long and fourteen broad in the four squares of it; and the border about it [will be] half a cubit; and the bottom of it [will be] a cubit about; and his stairs will 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 in the day when they will make it, to offer burnt offerings on it, and to sprinkle blood on it.
19 And you will give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach to me, to minister to me, says the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin offering.
20 And you will take of the blood of it, and put [it] on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: thus will you cleanse and purge it.
21 You will take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he will burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.
22 And on the second day you will offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they will cleanse the altar, as they cleansed [it] with the bullock.
23 When you have made an end of cleansing [it], you will offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
24 And you will offer them before the LORD [Yahweh], and the priests will cast salt upon them, and they will offer them up [for] a burnt offering to the LORD [Yahweh].
25 Seven days will you prepare every day a goat [for] a sin offering: they will also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.
26 Seven days will they purge the altar and purify it; and they will consecrate themselves.
27 And when these days are expired, it will be, [that] upon the eighth day, and [so] forward, the priests will make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, says the Lord GOD.
