Ezekiel 43 (WEBP)

[1] Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east.
[2] Behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth was illuminated with his glory.
[3] It was like 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 on my face.
[4] Yahweh’s glory came into the house by the way of the gate which faces toward the east.
[5] The Spirit took me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, Yahweh’s glory filled the house.
[6] I heard one speaking to me out of the house, and a man stood by me.
[7] 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 among the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no more defile my holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their prostitution and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places;
[8] in their setting of their threshold by my threshold and their door post beside my door post. There was a wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed. Therefore I have consumed them in my anger.
[9] Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings far from me. Then I will dwell among them forever.
[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] If they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, its fashion, its exits, its entrances, its structure, all its ordinances, all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.
[12] “This is the law of the house. On the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
[13] “These are the measurements of the altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a hand width): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the width a cubit, and its border around its edge a span; and this shall be the base of the altar.
[14] From the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the width one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the width a cubit.
[15] The upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns.
[16] The altar hearth shall be twelve cubits long by twelve wide, square in its four sides.
[17] The ledge shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen wide in its four sides; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and its bottom shall be a cubit around; and its steps shall look toward the east.”
[18] He said to me, “Son of man, the Lord Yahweh says: ‘These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they make it, to offer burnt offerings on it, and to sprinkle blood on it.
[19] You shall give to the Levitical priests who are of the offspring of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me,’ says the Lord Yahweh, ‘a young bull for a sin offering.
[20] You shall take of its blood and put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around. You shall cleanse it and make atonement for it that way.
[21] You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burned in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.
[22] “On the second day you shall offer a male goat without defect for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.
[23] When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without defect and a ram out of the flock without defect.
[24] You shall bring them near to Yahweh, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to Yahweh.
[25] “Seven days you shall prepare every day a goat for a sin offering. They shall also prepare a young bull and a ram out of the flock, without defect.
[26] Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it. So shall they consecrate it.
[27] When they have accomplished the days, it shall be that on the eighth day and onward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar and your peace offerings. Then I will accept you,’ says the Lord Yahweh.”

Ezekiel 43:13a A normal cubit is the length from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow on a man’s arm, or about 18 inches or 46 centimeters. A hand width is about 4.3 inches or 11 cm.
Ezekiel 43:13b A span is the length from the tip of a man’s thumb to the tip of his little finger when his hand is stretched out (about half a cubit, or 9 inches, or 22.8 cm.)

Young’s Literal Translation

Ezekiel 43 (YLT)

[1] And he causeth me to go to the gate, the gate that is looking eastward.
[2] And lo, the honour of the God of Israel hath come from the way of the east, and His voice is as the noise of many waters, and the earth hath shone from His honour.
[3] And according to the appearance is the appearance that I saw, as the appearance that I saw in my coming in to destroy the city, and the appearances are as the appearance that I saw at the river Chebar, and I fall on my face.
[4] And the honour of Jehovah hath come in unto the house, the way of the gate whose face is eastward.
[5] And take me up doth the Spirit, and bringeth me in unto the inner court, and lo, the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house.
[6] And I hear one speaking unto me from the house, and a man hath been standing near me,
[7] and He saith unto me: ‘Son of man, the place of My throne, And the place of the soles of My feet, Where I dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel to the age, Defile no more do the house of Israel My holy name, They, and their kings, by their whoredom, And by the carcases of their kings-their high places.
[8] In their putting their threshold with My threshold, And their door-post near My door-post, And the wall between Me and them, And they have defiled My holy name, By their abominations that they have done, And I consume them in Mine anger.
[9] Now do they put far off their whoredom, And the carcases of their kings-from Me, And I have dwelt in their midst to the age.
[10] Thou, son of man, Shew the house of Israel the house, And they are ashamed of their iniquities, And they have measured the measurement.
[11] And since they have been ashamed of all that they have done, The form of the house, and its measurement, And its outlets, and its inlets, and all its forms, And all its statutes, even all its forms, And all its laws cause them to know, And write it before their eyes, And they observe all its forms, And all its statutes, and have done them.
[12] This is a law of the house: on the top of the mountain, all its border all round about is most holy; lo, this is a law of the house.
[13] ‘And these are measures of the altar by cubits: The cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth, and the centre is a cubit, and a cubit the breadth; and its border on its edge round about is one span, and this is the upper part of the altar.
[14] And from the centre of the ground unto the lower border is two cubits, and the breadth one cubit, and from the lesser border unto the greater border four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.
[15] ‘And the altar is four cubits, and from the altar and upward are four horns.
[16] And the altar is twelve long by twelve broad, square in its four squares.
[17] And the border is fourteen long by fourteen broad, at its four squares, and the border round about it is half a cubit, and the centre to it is a cubit round about, and its steps are looking eastward.’
[18] And He saith unto me, ‘Son of man, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: These are statutes of the altar in the day of its being made to cause burnt-offering to go up on it, and to sprinkle on it blood.
[19] And thou hast given unto the priests, the Levites, who are of the seed of Zadok-who are near unto Me, an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, to serve Me-a calf from the herd, for a sin-offering.
[20] And thou hast taken of its blood, and hast put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of its border, and on the border round about, and hast cleansed it, and purified it.
[21] And thou hast taken the bullock of the sin-offering, and hast burnt it in the appointed place of the house at the outside of the sanctuary.
[22] And on the second day thou dost bring near a kid of the goats, a perfect one, for a sin-offering, and they have cleansed the altar, as they cleansed it for the bullock.
[23] In thy finishing cleansing, thou dost bring near a calf, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and a ram out of the flock, a perfect one.
[24] And thou hast brought them near before Jehovah, and the priests have cast upon them salt, and have caused them to go up, a burnt-offering to Jehovah.
[25] Seven days thou dost prepare a goat for a sin-offering daily, and a bullock, a son of the herd, and a ram out of the flock, perfect ones, do they prepare.
[26] Seven days they purify the altar, and have cleansed it, and filled their hand.
[27] And the days are completed, and it hath come to pass on the eighth day, and henceforth, the priests prepare on the altar your burnt-offerings and your peace-offerings, and I have accepted you-an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.’
