Ezekiel Chapter 43

1Then he led me to the gate, the gate which faces east. 2And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the east, and the sound of it was like the sound of fast-flowing water. And the land lit up with his glory. 3And the appearance in the vision which I saw was as in the vision which I saw when I came to bring the city to ruin, and the visions were like the vision which I saw at the River Chebar. And I fell face down. 4And the glory of the Lord came to the house through the gate which faces east. 5Then the spirit carried me and brought me to the inner courtyard, and I saw that the glory of the Lord filled the house. 6And I heard him speaking to me from the house while a man was standing next to me. 7And he said to me, “Son of Adam, observe the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet, where I will dwell among the sons of Israel age-abidingly. And the house of Israel will no longer defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings with their prostitution, nor by the corpses of their kings and their idolatrous raised sites, 8which they did when they put their threshold with my threshold, and their doorpost alongside my doorpost, and the wall between me and them, and they defiled my holy name with their abominations which they committed, so that I made an end of them in my anger. 9Now they will remove their prostitution and the corpses of their kings from me, and I will dwell in their midst age-abidingly. 10You, son of Adam, describe the house to the house of Israel, so that they are put to shame because of their iniquities, and let them measure the layout. 11And when they are ashamed of everything they have done, make known to them the procedures of the house, and its layout within, and its exits and its entrances and all its procedures, and all its statutes and all its procedures, and all its laws, and write them down in their sight, so that they observe all its procedures and all its statutes, and do them. 12This is the law of the house. On the summit of the mountain, the whole of its site all around is a holy of holies. Look, this is the law of the house. 13These are the dimensions of the altar in cubits, a cubit here being a cubit and a handbreadth. Now the plinth ledge is a cubit deep and a cubit in width, and its border at its edge all around is one span high. And that is the plinth of the altar. 14And from the plinth ledge at the bottom up to the mid-level ledge is two cubits, and the width is one cubit, and from the mid-level ledge up to the high-level ledge is four cubits, and the width is one cubit. 15And the hearth is four cubits higher, and from the hearth rising up, there are the four horns. 16And the hearth is twelve cubits in length by twelve cubits in width. It is square in its four corners. 17And the hearth ledge is fourteen cubits long by fourteen cubits wide, measured to its four corners, and the border around it is half a cubit high, and its ledge is one cubit wide all around, and its steps face east.” 18Then he said to me, “Son of Adam, this is what the Lord, the Lord, says: ‘These are the statutes of the altar on the day when it is made, namely to offer a burnt offering on it and to sprinkle blood on it. 19And you will give the Levite priests who are of the seed of Zadok – who are near to me, says the Lord, the Lord, to serve me – a bull-calf of the oxen as a sin-offering. 20And you will take some of its blood and put it on the altar's four horns and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the rim all around, and you will offer it as a sin-offering and make atonement with it. 21And you will take the bull which is the sin-offering, and he will burn it in the appointed place of the house outside the sanctuary. 22And on the second day, you will offer a perfect buck of the goats as a sin-offering, and the priests will make the altar a sin-offering, as they make the sin-offering with the bull. 23And when you have finished offering for sin, you shall offer a perfect bull-calf of the oxen and a perfect ram from the sheep. 24And you will offer them before the Lord, and the priests will throw salt over them, and they will offer them as a burnt offering to the Lord. 25For seven days you shall carry out the sacrifice of the goat as a sin-offering each day, and they shall perform the sacrifice of a bull-calf of the oxen and a ram from the sheep, both being perfect. 26For seven days they shall make the altar an atonement and cleanse it, and they shall inaugurate it. 27And they will see the days through, and it will come to pass on the eighth day and further that the priests will perform your burnt offerings and your peace-offerings on the altar, and I will be pleased with you, says the Lord, the Lord.’ ”
