Ezekiel 43

1 And he led me to the gate [the] gate which [was] facing [the] direction of the east.

Then the man brought me back to the gate that faces east,

2 And there! [the] glory of [the] God of Israel [was] coming from [the] direction of the east and sound its [was] like [the] sound of waters many and the earth it gave light from glory his.

and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of many waters, and the earth shone with His glory.

3 And like [the] appearance of the vision which I saw [was] like the vision which I had seen when came I to destroy the city and visions like the vision which I had seen to [the] river of Kebar and I fell to face my.

The vision I saw was like the vision I had seen when He came to destroy the city and like the visions I had seen by the River Kebar. I fell facedown,

4 And [the] glory of Yahweh it came into the house [the] way of [the] gate which face its [was] [the] direction of the east.

and the glory of the LORD entered the temple through the gate facing east.

5 And it lifted up me a spirit and it brought me into the courtyard inner and there! it filled [the] glory of Yahweh the house.

Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.

6 And I heard [one who] spoke to me from the house and a man he was standing beside me.

While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the temple,

7 And he said to me O son of humankind [the] place of throne my and [the] place of [the] soles of feet my where I will dwell there in among [the] people of Israel for ever and not they will defile again [the] house of Israel [the] name of holiness my they and kings their by prostitution their and by [the] corpses of kings their high places their.

and He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place for the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the Israelites forever. The house of Israel will never again defile My holy name—neither they nor their kings—by their prostitution and by the funeral offerings for their kings at their deaths.

8 When put they threshold their with threshold my and doorpost their beside doorpost my and the wall between me and between them and they defiled - [the] name of holiness my by abominations their which they did and I made an end of them in anger my.

When they placed their threshold next to My threshold and their doorposts beside My doorposts, with only a wall between Me and them, they defiled My holy name by the abominations they committed. Therefore I have consumed them in My anger.

9 Now let them put far away prostitution their and [the] corpses of kings their from me and I will dwell in midst of them for ever.

Now let them remove far from Me their prostitution and the funeral offerings for their kings, and I will dwell among them forever.

10 You O son of humankind declare [the] house of Israel the house so they may be ashamed from iniquities their and they will measure a pattern.

As for you, son of man, describe the temple to the people of Israel, so that they may be ashamed of their iniquities. Let them measure the plan,

11 And if they are ashamed from all that they have done [the] design of the house and arrangement its and exits its and entrances its and all (designs its *Q(K)*) and all statutes its and all (designs its *Q(K)*) and all (laws its *Q(K)*) make known to them and write to eyes their so they may keep all design its and all statutes its and they will do them.

and if they are ashamed of all they have done, then make known to them the design of the temple—its arrangement and its exits and entrances—its whole design along with all its statutes, forms, and laws. Write it down in their sight, so that they may keep its complete design and all its statutes and may carry them out.

12 This [is] [the] law of the house on [the] top of the mountain all territory its all around - all around [will be] a holy place of holy places there! this [is] [the] law of the house.

This is the law of the temple: All its surrounding territory on top of the mountain will be most holy. Yes, this is the law of the temple.

13 And these [are] [the] measurements of the altar by cubits a cubit [is] a cubit and a hand breadth and a gutter [is] the cubit and [is] a cubit [the] breadth and border its to edge its around a span one and this [is] [the] mound of the altar.

These are the measurements of the altar in long cubits (a cubit and a handbreadth): Its gutter shall be a cubit deep and a cubit wide, with a rim of one span around its edge. And this is the height of the altar:

14 And from [the] gutter of the ground to the ledge lower [is] two cubits and [the] breadth [is] a cubit one and from the ledge small to the ledge large [is] four cubits and [the] breadth [is] the cubit.

The space from the gutter on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the ledge one cubit wide. The space from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge shall be four cubits, and the ledge one cubit wide.

15 And the altar hearth [is] four cubits (and [are] from the altar hearth *Q(K)*) and upwards the horns four.

The altar hearth shall be four cubits high, and four horns shall project upward from the hearth.

16 (And the altar hearth *Q(K)*) [is] two [plus] ten [cubits] [the] length by two [plus] ten [cubits] [the] breadth square to [the] four sides its.

The altar hearth shall be square at its four corners, twelve cubits long and twelve cubits wide.

17 And the ledge [is] four-teen [cubits] [the] length by four-teen [cubits] [the] breadth to [the] four sides its and the border around it [is] [the] half of cubit and the gutter of it [is] a cubit all around and steps its to face east.

The ledge shall also be square, fourteen cubits long and fourteen cubits wide, with a rim of half a cubit and a gutter of a cubit all around it. The steps of the altar shall face east.”

18 And he said to me O son of humankind thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh these [are] [the] statutes of the altar on [the] day is made it to offer up on it a burnt offering and to sprinkle on it blood.

Then He said to me: “Son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is constructed, so that burnt offerings may be sacrificed on it and blood may be sprinkled on it:

19 And you will give to the priests the Levites who they [are] of [the] offspring of Zadok near to me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh to serve me a young bull a young one of cattle to a sin offering.

You are to give a young bull from the herd as a sin offering to the Levitical priests who are of the family of Zadok, who approach Me to minister before Me, declares the Lord GOD.

20 And you will take some of blood its and you will put [it] on [the] four horns its and to [the] four [the] corners of the ledge and to the border all around and you will cleanse from sin it and you will make atonement for it.

You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge, and all around the rim; thus you will cleanse the altar and make atonement for it.

21 And you will take the young bull the sin offering and someone will burn it in [the] appointed place of the house from [the] outside of the sanctuary.

Then you are to take away the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the appointed part of the temple area outside the sanctuary.

22 And on the day second you will bring near a male goat of goats unblemished to a sin offering and they will cleanse from sin the altar just as they cleansed [it] from sin by the young bull.

On the second day you are to present an unblemished male goat as a sin offering, and the altar is to be cleansed as it was with the bull.

23 When finishing you from cleansing [it] from sin you will bring near a young bull a young one of cattle unblemished and a ram from the flock unblemished.

When you have finished the purification, you are to present a young, unblemished bull and an unblemished ram from the flock.

24 And you will bring near them before Yahweh and they will throw the priests on them salt and they will offer up them a burnt offering to Yahweh.

You must present them before the LORD; the priests are to sprinkle salt on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the LORD.

25 Seven days you will offer a male goat of a sin offering for the day and a young bull a young one of cattle and a ram from the flock unblemished they will offer.

For seven days you are to provide a male goat daily for a sin offering; you are also to provide a young bull and a ram from the flock, both unblemished.

26 Seven days they will make atonement for the altar and they will purify it and they will fill (hands its. *Q(K)*)

For seven days the priests are to make atonement for the altar and cleanse it; so they shall consecrate it.

27 So they may complete the days. And it will be on the day eighth and onwards they will offer the priests on the altar burnt offerings your and peace offerings your and I will accept you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

At the end of these days, from the eighth day on, the priests are to present your burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar. Then I will accept you, declares the Lord GOD.’”
