< Ezekiel 43 >

1 And he causeth me to go to the gate, the gate that is looking eastward.
And he led me to the gate [the] gate which [was] facing [the] direction of the east.
2 And lo, the honour of the God of Israel hath come from the way of the east, and His voice [is] as the noise of many waters, and the earth hath shone from His honour.
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.
3 And according to the appearance [is] the appearance that I saw, as the appearance that I saw in my coming in to destroy the city, and the appearances [are] as the appearance that I saw at the river Chebar, and I fall on my face.
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.
4 And the honour of Jehovah hath come in unto the house, the way of the gate whose face [is] eastward.
And [the] glory of Yahweh it came into the house [the] way of [the] gate which face its [was] [the] direction of the east.
5 And take me up doth the Spirit, and bringeth me in unto the inner court, and lo, the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house.
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.
6 And I hear one speaking unto me from the house, and a man hath been standing near me,
And I heard [one who] spoke to me from the house and a man he was standing beside me.
7 and He saith unto me: 'Son of man, the place of My throne, And the place of the soles of My feet, Where I dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel to the age, Defile no more do the house of Israel My holy name, They, and their kings, by their whoredom, And by the carcases of their kings — their high places.
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.
8 In their putting their threshold with My threshold, And their door-post near My door-post, And the wall between Me and them, And they have defiled My holy name, By their abominations that they have done, And I consume them in Mine anger.
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.
9 Now do they put far off their whoredom, And the carcases of their kings — from Me, And I have dwelt in their midst to the age.
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.
10 Thou, son of man, Shew the house of Israel the house, And they are ashamed of their iniquities, And they have measured the measurement.
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.
11 And since they have been ashamed of all that they have done, The form of the house, and its measurement, And its outlets, and its inlets, and all its forms, And all its statutes, even all its forms, And all its laws cause them to know, And write [it] before their eyes, And they observe all its forms, And all its statutes, and have done them.
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.
12 This [is] a law of the house: on the top of the mountain, all its border all round about [is] most holy; lo, this [is] a law of the house.
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.
13 'And these [are] measures of the altar by cubits: The cubit [is] a cubit and a handbreadth, and the centre [is] a cubit, and a cubit the breadth; and its border on its edge round about [is] one span, and this [is] the upper part of the altar.
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.
14 And from the centre of the ground unto the lower border [is] two cubits, and the breadth one cubit, and from the lesser border unto the greater border four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.
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.
15 'And the altar [is] four cubits, and from the altar and upward [are] four horns.
And the altar hearth [is] four cubits (and [are] from the altar hearth *Q(K)*) and upwards the horns four.
16 And the altar [is] twelve long by twelve broad, square in its four squares.
(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.
17 And the border [is] fourteen long by fourteen broad, at its four squares, and the border round about it [is] half a cubit, and the centre to it [is] a cubit round about, and its steps are looking eastward.'
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.
18 And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: These [are] statutes of the altar in the day of its being made to cause burnt-offering to go up on it, and to sprinkle on it blood.
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.
19 And thou hast given unto the priests, the Levites, who [are] of the seed of Zadok — who are near unto Me, an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, to serve Me — a calf from the herd, for a sin-offering.
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.
20 And thou hast taken of its blood, and hast put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of its border, and on the border round about, and hast cleansed it, and purified it.
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.
21 And thou hast taken the bullock of the sin-offering, and hast burnt it in the appointed place of the house at the outside of the sanctuary.
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.
22 And on the second day thou dost bring near a kid of the goats, a perfect one, for a sin-offering, and they have cleansed the altar, as they cleansed [it] for the bullock.
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.
23 In thy finishing cleansing, thou dost bring near a calf, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and a ram out of the flock, a perfect one.
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.
24 And thou hast brought them near before Jehovah, and the priests have cast upon them salt, and have caused them to go up, a burnt-offering to Jehovah.
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.
25 Seven days thou dost prepare a goat for a sin-offering daily, and a bullock, a son of the herd, and a ram out of the flock, perfect ones, do they prepare.
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.
26 Seven days they purify the altar, and have cleansed it, and filled their hand.
Seven days they will make atonement for the altar and they will purify it and they will fill (hands its. *Q(K)*)
27 And the days are completed, and it hath come to pass on the eighth day, and henceforth, the priests prepare on the altar your burnt-offerings and your peace-offerings, and I have accepted you — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
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.
