OEB EZE Chapter 43

◄ EZE 43 ► ║ ©

43 Then he brought me to the east gate. 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. 3 And the vision which I saw was like that which I saw when he came to destroy the city; and the visions were like that which I saw by the River Chebar; and I fell on my face. 4 Then the glory of Jehovah came into the temple by the east gate. 5 And the Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the temple.

6 Then I heard one speaking to me from the temple, as One stood by me. 7 And he said to me, O man, this is the place of my throne, and the place for the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the Israelites forever. And the house of Israel, they and their kings, shall no more defile my holy nameY with their idolatry and with the corpses of their kings 8 by placing their thresholds by my threshold, and their door-posts beside my door-post, with only a wall between me and them, thus defiling my holy name by the abominations which they have committed; therefore I have destroyed them in mine anger. 9 Now let them put away their idolatry, and the corpses of their kings, far from me, that I may dwell in the midst of them forever.

10 Do thou, O man, show the house of Israel the temple, its appearance and its pattern, 11 that they may be ashamed of all that they have done, describe to them the temple and its construction, its exits and its entrances and its form, and make known to them all its ordinances and laws; and write it down in their sight, that they may take heed to perform all its forms and ordinances. 12 This is the law of the temple: on the top of the mountain its whole territory shall be sacred. Behold, this is the law of the temple.

13 And these are the measurements of the altar in cubits of a cubit and a handbreadth: the base shall be a cubit high, one cubit wide, with a border around its edge about a span wide; and this shall be the height of the altar: 14 from the foundation base to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the width one cubit; and from the smaller ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the width one cubit. 15 And the alter hearth shall be four cubits high; and above the hearth shall be four horns, one cubit high. 16 And the altar hearth shall be twelve cubits square. 17 And the ledge shall be fourteen cubits square; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the base one cubit wide round about. Its steps shall face the east.

18 Then he said to me, O man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: “These are the regulations for the altar in the day when it is completed, ‘In order that burnt-offerings may be offered and blood sprinkled on it, 19 thou shalt give to the priests the Levites who are of the family of Zadok, who approach to serve me,’ saith the Lord Jehovah, ‘a young bullock as a sin-offering. 20 And they shall take some of its blood, and put it on the four horns, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border round about; thus shall they cleanse it and make atonement for it. 21 They shall also take the bullock of the sin-offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place outside the temple. 22 And on the second day they shall offer a male goat without blemish as a sin-offering, and shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bullock. 23 °When they have made an end of cleansing it, they shall offer a young bullock and a ram from the flock without blemish. 24 And they shall present them before Jehovah, and the priests shall sprinkle salt upon them and they shall offer them as a burnt-offering to Jehovah. 25 Seven days shalt thou provide daily a goat as a sin-offering;) they shall also provide a young bullock, and a ram from the flock, without blemish. 26 For seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify and consecrate it. 27 At the end of these days, on the eighth day and thereafter, the priests shall present your burnt-offerings and your peace-offerings upon the altar; and I will accept you,’ saith the Lord Jehovah.”
