¹ 그가 나를 데리고 밖으로 나가 북편 뜰로 가서 두 방에 이르니 그 두 방의 하나는 골방 앞 뜰을 향하였고 하나는 북편 건물을 향하였는데

² 그 방들의 자리의 장이 일백척이요 광이 오십척이며 그 문은 북을 향하였고

³ 그 방 삼층에 툇마루들이 있는데 한 방의 툇마루는 이십척 되는 안 뜰과 마주 대하였고 한 방의 툇마루는 바깥 뜰 박석 깔린 곳과 마주 대하였으며

⁴ 그 두 방 사이에 통한 길이 있어 광이 십척이요 장이 일백척이며 그 문들은 북을 향하였으며

⁵ 그 상층의 방은 제일 좁으니 이는 툇마루를 인하여 하층과 중층보다 상층이 더 줄어짐이라

⁶ 그 방이 삼층이라도 뜰의 기둥 같은 기둥이 없으므로 그 상층이 하층과 중층보다 더욱 좁아짐이더라

⁷ 그 한 방의 바깥 담 곧 뜰의 담과 마주 대한 담의 장이 오십척이니

⁸ 바깥 뜰로 향한 방의 장이 오십척임이며 성전 앞을 향한 방은 일백척이며

⁹ 이 방들 아래에 동편에서 들어가는 통행구가 있으니 곧 바깥 뜰에서 들어가는 통행구더라

¹⁰ 남편 골방 뜰 맞은편과 남편 건물 맞은편에도 방 둘이 있는데

¹¹ 그 두 방 사이에 길이 있고 그 방들의 모양은 북편 방 같고 그 장광도 같으며 그 출입구와 문도 그와 같으며

¹² 남편 방에 출입하는 문이 있는데 담 동편 길머리에 있더라

¹³ 그가 내게 이르되 좌우 골방 뜰 앞 곧 북편 남편에 있는 방들은 거룩한 방이라 여호와를 가까이 하는 제사장들이 지성물을 거기서 먹을 것이며 지성물 곧 소제와 속죄제와 속건제의 제물을 거기 둘 것이며 이는 거룩한 곳이라

¹⁴ 제사장의 의복은 거룩하므로 제사장이 성소에 들어갔다가 나올 때에 바로 바깥 뜰로 가지 못하고 수종드는 그 의복을 그 방에 두고 다른 옷을 입고 백성의 뜰로 나갈 것이니라 하더라

¹⁵ 그가 안에 있는 전 척량하기를 마친 후에 나를 데리고 동향한 문길로 나가서 사면 담을 척량하는데

¹⁶ 그가 척량하는 장대 곧 그 장대로 동편을 척량하니 오백척이요

¹⁷ 그 장대로 북편을 척량하니 오백척이요

¹⁸ 그 장대로 남편을 척량하니 오백척이요

¹⁹ 서편으로 돌이켜 그 장대로 척량하니 오백척이라

²⁰ 그가 이와 같이 그 사방을 척량하니 그 사방 담 안 마당의 장과 광이 오백척씩이라 그 담은 거룩한 것과 속된 것을 구별하는 것이더라

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: and his voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shined with his glory.

³ It was according to 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 The glory of Yahweh came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.

⁵ The Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of Yahweh 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 in the midst of the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel shall 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 doorpost beside my doorpost, and there was [but] the 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; and I will dwell in the midst of 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 be ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, and its fashion, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and 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 measures of the altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth 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 breadth one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the breadth 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 broad, square in the four sides of it.

¹⁷ The ledge shall be fourteen [cubits] long by fourteen broad in the four sides of it; 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, thus says the Lord Yahweh: 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 You shall give to the priests the Levites who are of the seed 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 the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around: thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it.

²¹ You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.

²² On the second day you shall offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bull.

²³ When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.

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 blemish.

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 forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, says the Lord Yahweh.
