L
ORD
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 L
ORD
filled the house.
6
And I heard
him
speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.
7
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
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 whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will
dwell in the midst of them for ever.
10
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 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 the whole limit thereof round about
shall 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 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
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; and from the altar and upward
shall be
four horns.
16
And
the altar
shall be
twelve
cubits
long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof.
17
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 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
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
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
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
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 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
And thou shalt offer them before the L
