[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.”

The Return of the Lord

[1] Afterward he brought H3212 (HiphImpf) me to the gate, H8179 even the gate H8179 that looketh H6437 (QalActPtc) toward H1870 the east: H6921 [2] and, behold, the glory H3519 of the God H430 of Israel H3478 came H935 (QalPerf) from the way H1870 of the east: H6921 and his voice H6963 was like a noise H6963 of many H7227 waters: H4325 and the earth H776 shined H215 (HiphPerf) with his glory. H3519 [3] And it was according to the appearance H4758 of the vision H4758 which I saw, H7200 (QalPerf) even according to the vision H4758 that I saw H7200 (QalPerf) when I came H935 (QalInf) to destroy H7843 (PielInf) the city: H5892 and the visions H4759 were like the vision H4758 that I saw H7200 (QalPerf) by the river H5104 Chebar; H3529 and I fell H5307 (QalImpf) upon my face. H6440 [4] And the glory H3519 of the Lord H3068 came H935 (QalPerf) into the house H1004 by the way H1870 of the gate H8179 whose prospect H6440 is toward H1870 the east. H6921 [5] So the spirit H7307 took me up, H5375 (QalImpf) and brought H935 (HiphImpf) me into the inner H6442 court; H2691 and, behold, the glory H3519 of the Lord H3068 filled H4390 (QalPerf) the house. H1004 [6] And I heard H8085 (QalImpf) him speaking H1696 (HithPtc) unto me out of the house; H1004 and the man H376 stood H5975 (QalActPtc) by me. H681 [7] And he said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, Son H1121 of man, H120 the place H4725 of my throne, H3678 and the place H4725 of the soles H3709 of my feet, H7272 where I will dwell H7931 (QalImpf) in the midst H8432 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 for ever, H5769 and my holy H6944 name, H8034 shall the house H1004 of Israel H3478 no more defile, H2930 (PielImpf) neither they, nor their kings, H4428 by their whoredom, H2184 nor by the carcases H6297 of their kings H4428 in their high places. H1116 [8] In their setting H5414 (QalInf) of their threshold H5592 by my thresholds, H5592 and their post H4201 by H681 my posts, H4201 and the wall H7023 between me and them,§ they have even defiled H2930 (PielPerf) my holy H6944 name H8034 by their abominations H8441 that they have committed: H6213 (QalPerf) wherefore I have consumed H3615 (PielImpf) them in mine anger. H639 [9] Now let them put away H7368 their whoredom, H2184 and the carcases H6297 of their kings, H4428 far H7368 (PielImpf) from me, and I will dwell H7931 (QalPerf) in the midst H8432 of them for ever. H5769 [10] Thou son H1121 of man, H120 shew H5046 (HiphImpv) the house H1004 to the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 that they may be ashamed H3637 (NiphImpf) of their iniquities: H5771 and let them measure H4058 (QalPerf) the pattern. H8508§ [11] And if they be ashamed H3637 (NiphPerf) of all that they have done, H6213 (QalPerf) shew H3045 (HiphImpv) them the form H6699 of the house, H1004 and the fashion H8498 thereof, and the goings out H4161 thereof, and the comings H4126 in thereof, and all the forms H6699 thereof, and all the ordinances H2708 thereof, and all the forms H6699 thereof, and all the laws H8451 thereof: and write H3789 (QalImpv) it in their sight, H5869 that they may keep H8104 (QalImpf) the whole form H6699 thereof, and all the ordinances H2708 thereof, and do H6213 (QalPerf) them. [12] This is the law H8451 of the house; H1004 Upon the top H7218 of the mountain H2022 the whole limit H1366 thereof round about H5439 shall be most H6944 holy. H6944 Behold, this is the law H8451 of the house. H1004

The Altar

[13] And these are the measures H4060 of the altar H4196 after the cubits: H520 The cubit H520 is a cubit H520 and an hand breadth; H2948 even the bottom H2436§ shall be a cubit, H520 and the breadth H7341 a cubit, H520 and the border H1366 thereof by the edge H8193§ thereof round about H5439 shall be a H259 span: H2239 and this shall be the higher place H1354 of the altar. H4196 [14] And from the bottom H2436 upon the ground H776 even to the lower H8481 settle H5835 shall be two H8147 cubits, H520 and the breadth H7341 one H259 cubit; H520 and from the lesser H6996 settle H5835 even to the greater H1419 settle H5835 shall be four H702 cubits, H520 and the breadth H7341 one cubit. H520 [15] So the altar H741§ shall be four H702 cubits; H520 and from the altar H741§ and upward H4605 shall be four H702 horns. H7161 [16] And the altar H741 shall be twelve H8147 cubits long, H753 twelve H8147 broad, H7341 square H7251 (QalPasPtc) in the four H702 squares H7253 thereof. [17] And the settle H5835 shall be fourteen H702 cubits long H753 and fourteen H702 broad H7341 in the four H702 squares H7253 thereof; and the border H1366 about H5439 it shall be half H2677 a cubit; H520 and the bottom H2436 thereof shall be a cubit H520 about; H5439 and his stairs H4609 shall look H6437 (QalInf) toward the east. H6921 [18] And he said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, Son H1121 of man, H120 thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 These are the ordinances H2708 of the altar H4196 in the day H3117 when they shall make H6213 (NiphInf) it, to offer H5927 (HiphInf) burnt offerings H5930 thereon, and to sprinkle H2236 (QalInf) blood H1818 thereon. [19] And thou shalt give H5414 (QalPerf) to the priests H3548 the Levites H3881 that be of the seed H2233 of Zadok, H6659 which approach H7138 unto me, to minister H8334 (PielInf) unto me, saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H136 God, H3069 a young H1121 bullock H6499 for a sin offering. H2403 [20] And thou shalt take H3947 (QalPerf) of the blood H1818 thereof, and put H5414 (QalPerf) it on the four H702 horns H7161 of it, and on the four H702 corners H6438 of the settle, H5835 and upon the border H1366 round about: H5439 thus shalt thou cleanse H2398 (PielPerf) and purge H3722 (PielPerf) it. [21] Thou shalt take H3947 (QalPerf) the bullock H6499 also of the sin offering, H2403 and he shall burn H8313 (QalPerf) it in the appointed place H4662 of the house, H1004 without H2351 the sanctuary. H4720 [22] And on the second H8145 day H3117 thou shalt offer H7126 (HiphImpf) a kid H8163 of the goats H5795 without blemish H8549 for a sin offering; H2403 and they shall cleanse H2398 (PielPerf) the altar, H4196 as they did cleanse H2398 (PielPerf) it with the bullock. H6499 [23] When thou hast made an end H3615 (PielInf) of cleansing H2398 (PielInf) it, thou shalt offer H7126 (HiphImpf) a young H1121 bullock H6499 without blemish, H8549 and a ram H352 out of the flock H6629 without blemish. H8549 [24] And thou shalt offer H7126 (HiphPerf) them before H6440 the Lord, H3068 and the priests H3548 shall cast H7993 (HiphPerf) salt H4417 upon them, and they shall offer them up H5927 (HiphPerf) for a burnt offering H5930 unto the Lord. H3068 [25] Seven H7651 days H3117 shalt thou prepare H6213 (QalImpf) every day H3117 a goat H8163 for a sin offering: H2403 they shall also prepare H6213 (QalImpf) a young H1121 bullock, H6499 and a ram H352 out of the flock, H6629 without blemish. H8549 [26] Seven H7651 days H3117 shall they purge H3722 (PielImpf) the altar H4196 and purify H2891 (PielPerf) it; and they shall consecrate§ themselves. H4390 (PielPerf) [27] And when these days H3117 are expired, H3615 (PielImpf) it shall be, that upon the eighth H8066 day, H3117 and so forward, H1973 the priests H3548 shall make H6213 (QalImpf) your burnt offerings H5930 upon the altar, H4196 and your peace offerings; H8002§ and I will accept H7521 (QalPerf) you, saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H136 God.
