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.)

[1] και ηγαγεν με επι την πυλην την βλεπουσαν κατα ανατολας και εξηγαγεν με
[2] και ιδου δοξα θεου ισραηλ ηρχετο κατα την οδον της πυλης της βλεπουσης προς ανατολας και φωνη της παρεμβολης ως φωνη διπλασιαζοντων πολλων και η γη εξελαμπεν ως φεγγος απο της δοξης κυκλοθεν
[3] και η ορασις ην ειδον κατα την ορασιν ην ειδον οτε εισεπορευομην του χρισαι την πολιν και η ορασις του αρματος ου ειδον κατα την ορασιν ην ειδον επι του ποταμου του χοβαρ και πιπτω επι προσωπον μου
[4] και δοξα κυριου εισηλθεν εις τον οικον κατα την οδον της πυλης της βλεπουσης κατα ανατολας
[5] και ανελαβεν με πνευμα και εισηγαγεν με εις την αυλην την εσωτεραν και ιδου πληρης δοξης κυριου ο οικος
[6] και εστην και ιδου φωνη εκ του οικου λαλουντος προς με και ο ανηρ ειστηκει εχομενος μου
[7] και ειπεν προς με εωρακας υιε ανθρωπου τον τοπον του θρονου μου και τον τοπον του ιχνους των ποδων μου εν οις κατασκηνωσει το ονομα μου εν μεσω οικου ισραηλ τον αιωνα και ου βεβηλωσουσιν ουκετι οικος ισραηλ το ονομα το αγιον μου αυτοι και οι ηγουμενοι αυτων εν τη πορνεια αυτων και εν τοις φονοις των ηγουμενων εν μεσω αυτων
[8] εν τω τιθεναι αυτους το προθυρον μου εν τοις προθυροις αυτων και τας φλιας μου εχομενας των φλιων αυτων και εδωκαν τον τοιχον μου ως συνεχομενον εμου και αυτων και εβεβηλωσαν το ονομα το αγιον μου εν ταις ανομιαις αυτων αις εποιουν και εξετριψα αυτους εν θυμω μου και εν φονω
[9] και νυν απωσασθωσαν την πορνειαν αυτων και τους φονους των ηγουμενων αυτων απ εμου και κατασκηνωσω εν μεσω αυτων τον αιωνα
[10] και συ υιε ανθρωπου δειξον τω οικω ισραηλ τον οικον και κοπασουσιν απο των αμαρτιων αυτων και την ορασιν αυτου και την διαταξιν αυτου
[11] και αυτοι λημψονται την κολασιν αυτων περι παντων ων εποιησαν και διαγραψεις τον οικον και τας εξοδους αυτου και την υποστασιν αυτου και παντα τα προσταγματα αυτου και παντα τα νομιμα αυτου γνωριεις αυτοις και διαγραψεις εναντιον αυτων και φυλαξονται παντα τα δικαιωματα μου και παντα τα προσταγματα μου και ποιησουσιν αυτα
[12] και την διαγραφην του οικου επι της κορυφης του ορους παντα τα ορια αυτου κυκλοθεν αγια αγιων
[13] και ταυτα τα μετρα του θυσιαστηριου εν πηχει του πηχεος και παλαιστης κολπωμα βαθος επι πηχυν και πηχυς το ευρος και γεισος επι το χειλος αυτου κυκλοθεν σπιθαμης και τουτο το υψος του θυσιαστηριου
[14] εκ βαθους της αρχης του κοιλωματος αυτου προς το ιλαστηριον το μεγα το υποκατωθεν πηχων δυο και το ευρος πηχεος και απο του ιλαστηριου του μικρου επι το ιλαστηριον το μεγα πηχεις τεσσαρες και ευρος πηχυς
[15] και το αριηλ πηχων τεσσαρων και απο του αριηλ και υπερανω των κερατων πηχυς
[16] και το αριηλ πηχων δωδεκα μηκους επι πηχεις δωδεκα πλατους τετραγωνον επι τα τεσσαρα μερη αυτου

[18] και ειπεν προς με υιε ανθρωπου ταδε λεγει κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ ταυτα τα προσταγματα του θυσιαστηριου εν ημερα ποιησεως αυτου του αναφερειν επ αυτου ολοκαυτωματα και προσχεειν προς αυτο αιμα
[19] και δωσεις τοις ιερευσι τοις λευιταις τοις εκ του σπερματος σαδδουκ τοις εγγιζουσι προς με λεγει κυριος ο θεος του λειτουργειν μοι μοσχον εκ βοων περι αμαρτιας
[20] και λημψονται εκ του αιματος αυτου και επιθησουσιν επι τα τεσσαρα κερατα του θυσιαστηριου και επι τας τεσσαρας γωνιας του ιλαστηριου και επι την βασιν κυκλω και εξιλασονται αυτο
[21] και λημψονται τον μοσχον τον περι αμαρτιας και κατακαυθησεται εν τω αποκεχωρισμενω του οικου εξωθεν των αγιων
[22] και τη ημερα τη δευτερα λημψονται εριφους δυο αιγων αμωμους υπερ αμαρτιας και εξιλασονται το θυσιαστηριον καθοτι εξιλασαντο εν τω μοσχω
[23] και μετα το συντελεσαι σε τον εξιλασμον προσοισουσι μοσχον εκ βοων αμωμον και κριον εκ προβατων αμωμον
[24] και προσοισετε εναντιον κυριου και επιρριψουσιν οι ιερεις επ αυτα αλα και ανοισουσιν αυτα ολοκαυτωματα τω κυριω
[25] επτα ημερας ποιησεις εριφον υπερ αμαρτιας καθ ημεραν και μοσχον εκ βοων και κριον εκ προβατων αμωμα ποιησουσιν
[26] επτα ημερας και εξιλασονται το θυσιαστηριον και καθαριουσιν αυτο και πλησουσιν χειρας αυτων
[27] και εσται απο της ημερας της ογδοης και επεκεινα ποιησουσιν οι ιερεις επι το θυσιαστηριον τα ολοκαυτωματα υμων και τα του σωτηριου υμων και προσδεξομαι υμας λεγει κυριος
