¹ And he made me go to^▵ the gate, the gate that faces the way of the east:

² and behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east; and His voice was as a voice of many waters: and the earth gave·​·light from His glory.

³ And according·​·to the vision^◦ of the vision^◦ which I saw, even according·​·to the vision^◦ which I saw in my coming to destroy the city; and the visions^◦ were like^◦ the vision^◦ that I saw at^▵ the river Chebar; and I fell to^▵ my face.

⁴ And the glory of Jehovah came to^▵ the house by the way of the gate whose face is the way of the east.

⁵ And the spirit lifted· me ·up, and brought me into^▵ the inner court; and, behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house.

⁶ And I heard Him speaking to^▵ me from the house; and a Man^◦ was standing beside me.

⁷ And He said unto^▵ me, Son of man, Behold^* the place of My throne, and the place of the soles of My feet, where^▵ I will abide^◦ in the midst of the sons of Israel to eternity; and the house of Israel shall not defile My holy name any·​·more, they^◦, nor^◦ their kings, by their harlotry, and by the corpses of their kings in their high·​·places.

⁸ In their putting^◦ of their doorway with My doorways, and their posts beside My posts, and the wall^◦ between Me and them, they have defiled My holy name by their abominations that they have done; and I have eaten· them ·up in My anger.

⁹ Now let their harlotry, and the corpses of their kings, be·​·far from Me, and I will abide^◦ in their midst to eternity.

¹⁰ Thou^◦ son of man, tell the house of Israel, tell the house, and they will be humiliated for their iniquities; and let them measure the dimension.

¹¹ And if they be humiliated for all that they have done, make them know the form of the house, and its dimension, and its outgoings, and its comings·​·in, and all its forms, and all its statutes, and all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their eyes, and they will keep all its form, and all its statutes, and do them.

¹² This is the law of the house; On the head of the mountain all of its border all around shall be a holy of holies. Behold, this is the law of the house.

¹³ And these are the measures of the altar by the cubits; a cubit, a cubit, and a hand·​·breadth; and the bosom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and its border for^◦ its lip all around shall be one span: and this shall be the rim^◦ of the altar.

¹⁴ And from the bosom upon the earth even to^◦ the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser ledge even·​·to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.

¹⁵ And the altar^◦ shall be four cubits; and from the altar^◦ and upward shall be four horns.

¹⁶ And the altar^◦ shall be twelve cubits in length, and twelve in breadth, foursquare in^▵ its four fourths.

¹⁷ And the ledge shall be fourteen cubits in length and fourteen in breadth in^▵ its four quarters^◦; and the border around it shall be half a cubit; and its bosom shall be a cubit around; and its stairs shall face east.

¹⁸ And He said to^▵ me, Son of man, thus says the Lord Jehovih^*; These are the statutes of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer·​·up burnt·​·offerings on it, and to sprinkle blood on it.

¹⁹ And thou shalt give to^▵ the priests the Levites, them^◦ that be of the seed of Zadok, which are near unto^▵ Me, to minister unto Me, says^◦ the Lord Jehovih, a son of the herd, a bullock for a sin offering.

²⁰ And thou shalt take of its blood, and put^◦ it on its four horns, and onto^▵ the four corners of the ledge, and onto^▵ the border all around; and thou shalt purge and atone·​·for it.

²¹ And thou shalt take the bullock of the sin offering, and he shall burn· it ·up in the appointed place of the house, outside the sanctuary.

²² And on^◦ the second day thou shalt offer a male goat^◦ of the perfect goats for a sin offering; and they shall purge the altar, as^◦ they purged it with the bullock.

²³ When thou hast completed purging it, thou shalt offer a son of the herd, a perfect bullock, and a ram out·​·of the perfect flock.

²⁴ And thou shalt offer them before Jehovah, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer· them ·up for a burnt·​·offering unto Jehovah.

²⁵ Seven days shalt thou make for the day a male goat^◦ for a sin offering; and they shall make a son of the herd, a bullock, and a perfect ram from the flock.

²⁶ Seven days shall they atone·​·for the altar and cleanse it; and they shall fill their hand.

²⁷ And when the days are·​·completed, it shall be, on^◦ the eighth day and beyond, the priests shall make your burnt·​·offerings upon the altar, and your peace·​·offerings; and I will be·​·well·​·pleased with you, says^◦ the Lord Jehovih.

⁵ And you shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar, that there be no^◦ rage any·​·more upon the sons of Israel.
