1 A nd he causeth me to go to the gate, the gate that is looking eastward.

¶ Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east:

2 A nd lo, the honour of the God of Israel hath come from the way of the east, and His voice as the noise of many waters, and the earth hath shone from His honour.

And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel that was coming from the east; and his noise was like the noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.

3 A nd according to the appearance the appearance that I saw, as the appearance that I saw in my coming in to destroy the city, and the appearances as the appearance that I saw at the river Chebar, and I fall on my face.

And 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 upon my face.

4 A nd the honour of Jehovah hath come in unto the house, the way of the gate whose face eastward.

And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate facing toward the east.

5 A nd take me up doth the Spirit, and bringeth me in unto the inner court, and lo, the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house.

So the Spirit took me up and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.

6 A nd I hear one speaking unto me from the house, and a man hath been standing near me,

And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.

7 a nd 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 unto me, Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, in which I will dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel for ever, and my holy name, the house of Israel shall no longer defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcasses of their kings in their altars.

8 I n 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.

In their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their post by my post, and a wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed; therefore I have consumed them in my anger.

9 N ow 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 away their whoredom, and the carcasses of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.

10 T hou, son of man, Shew the house of Israel the house, And they are ashamed of their iniquities, And they have measured the measurement.

Thou son of man, show this house to the house of Israel that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them understand the pattern.

11 A nd 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 before their eyes, And they observe all its forms, And all its statutes, and have done them.

And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, show them the form of the house, and its pattern, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all its figures, and all its descriptions, and all its paintings, and all its laws; and write it in their sight that they may keep the whole form thereof and all the ordinances thereof and do them.

12 T his a law of the house: on the top of the mountain, all its border all round about most holy; lo, this a law of the house.

This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain it shall be built; the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

13 ` And these measures of the altar by cubits: The cubit a cubit and a handbreadth, and the centre a cubit, and a cubit the breadth; and its border on its edge round about one span, and this the upper part of the altar.

¶ And these are the measures of the altar in cubits: The cubit is a cubit and a hand breadth; the middle rim, one cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about of a span. This shall be the high bottom of the altar.

14 A nd from the centre of the ground unto the lower border 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 middle rim of the ground even to the lower settle, two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle to the greater settle, four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.

15 ` And the altar four cubits, and from the altar and upward four horns.

So the altar, of four cubits; and above the altar, four horns.

16 A nd the altar twelve long by twelve broad, square in its four squares.

And the altar was twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square on its four sides.

17 A nd the border fourteen long by fourteen broad, at its four squares, and the border round about it half a cubit, and the centre to it a cubit round about, and its steps are looking eastward.'

And the patio was fourteen cubits long and fourteen broad on all four sides; and the border about it was half a cubit; and the middle which had a rim of a cubit on all sides; and its stairs were toward the east.

18 A nd He saith unto me, `Son of man, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: These 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 unto me, Son of man, thus hath the Lord GOD said: 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 A nd thou hast given unto the priests, the Levites, who 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 thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, said the Lord GOD, a young bullock as sin.

20 A nd 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 thou shalt take of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar and on the four corners of the patio and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou remove the sin and reconcile it.

21 A nd 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.

Then thou shalt take the bullock of the sin and burn it according to the law of the house, outside the sanctuary.

22 A nd 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 for the bullock.

And on the second day thou shalt offer a he goat without blemish as sin; and they shall remove the sin from the altar, as they removed it with the bullock.

23 I n 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 thou hast finished removing the sin, thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish and a ram out of the flock without blemish.

24 A nd 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 thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the LORD.

25 S even 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 shalt thou prepare each day a he goat as sin; and a young bullock and a ram out of the flock, without blemish, shall they sacrifice.

26 S even days they purify the altar, and have cleansed it, and filled their hand.

Seven days shall they atone the altar, and they shall cleanse it; and they shall extend their hands.

27 A nd 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.'

And when these days are expired, it shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so forward, the priests shall sacrifice your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, said the Lord GOD.
