King James Version
Then
the
man
brought me back
to the gate that faces
east ,
Afterward
he
brought me to the gate ,
even
the
gate
that looketh
toward
the
east :
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.
And ,
behold,
the glory of the God of Israel came
from the way
of
the
east :
and
his voice was like a
noise
of many waters :
and the earth shined
with his glory.
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,
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.
and the glory of the LORD entered
the temple
through
the gate facing
east.
And the glory of the LORD came
into
the house
by
the way
of
the
gate whose
prospect
is
toward
the
east.
Then
the Spirit lifted
me up and brought me into the inner court ,
and the glory of the LORD filled the temple
.
So
the spirit took
me up ,
and brought me into the inner court ;
and ,
behold,
the glory of the LORD filled the house
.
While
the
man
was
standing
beside
me,
I heard someone
speaking to
me from
inside
the temple,
And
I heard him
speaking unto
me out
of
the house;
and
the
man
stood
by
me.
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
.
And he said unto
me, Son of man, 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 for
ever,
and
my holy name ,
shall
the
house
of
Israel
no
more
defile,
neither they ,
nor their kings ,
by their whoredom,
nor
by the carcases
of
their kings in
their high
places
.
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.
In
their setting
of
their
threshold by
my thresholds,
and their post
by
my posts
, and
the
wall between me and them, they have
even
defiled my holy name by their
abominations that
they have
committed :
wherefore
I have consumed them in mine
anger.
Now let them remove
far
from
Me
their prostitution
and the funeral
offerings
for
their kings, and I will dwell among
them forever
.
Now let them put
away
their whoredom,
and the carcases
of
their kings, far
from
me,
and I will dwell in
the
midst
of
them for
ever
.
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,
Thou
son of man, shew
the house
to the house
of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities :
and
let them measure the pattern.
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
.
And if they be
ashamed of all that
they have done, shew
them the form
of the house,
and the
fashion
thereof,
and the
goings
out
thereof,
and
the
comings
in
thereof,
and
all the
forms
thereof
, and
all
the
ordinances
thereof,
and
all
the
forms thereof
, and all
the
laws thereof:
and
write it in their sight, that they may keep the
whole
form
thereof,
and all the
ordinances
thereof,
and do
them.
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
.
This is the law of the house;
Upon
the
top of the mountain the
whole
limit
thereof
round
about
shall
be most holy. Behold
, this is the law of the house
.
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 :
And
these are the measures
of the altar after
the
cubits :
The
cubit
is
a cubit and an
hand
breadth;
even
the
bottom
shall be a cubit ,
and the
breadth
a cubit, and
the
border
thereof
by
the
edge
thereof
round
about
shall
be
a span :
and this shall
be
the higher
place
of the altar .
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
.
And
from the bottom
upon
the ground even
to the lower settle
shall be two cubits, and the breadth
one cubit ;
and
from the lesser
settle
even
to the greater
settle
shall be four cubits, and the breadth
one cubit.
The altar hearth
shall be four cubits high,
and four
horns
shall
project
upward
from the hearth
.
So
the altar shall be four cubits ;
and from the altar
and
upward
shall
be
four
horns
.
The altar hearth
shall be square
at
its
four
corners,
twelve cubits long and
twelve cubits
wide
.
And
the altar shall be twelve cubits long ,
twelve broad,
square
in
the
four
squares
thereof
.
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. ”
And
the settle
shall be fourteen cubits long and fourteen broad
in
the
four
squares
thereof;
and
the
border
about
it
shall
be
half a cubit ;
and the
bottom
thereof
shall
be
a cubit about;
and
his
stairs
shall look
toward
the
east.
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:
And
he said unto
me ,
Son of man, thus
saith
the Lord GOD ;
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.
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.
And
thou
shalt
give to the priests the
Levites
that
be
of the seed
of Zadok, which
approach unto
me ,
to minister unto
me, saith
the Lord GOD ,
a
young
bullock
for
a
sin
offering
.
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.
And
thou
shalt
take of the
blood thereof,
and put it on the four horns of it
, and
on the four corners of the settle
, and upon
the border
round
about:
thus shalt
thou
cleanse and purge
it.
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.
Thou
shalt
take the bullock
also
of
the sin offering ,
and he
shall
burn it in the appointed place
of the house,
without
the sanctuary.
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
.
And
on the second day thou
shalt
offer
a kid
of
the
goats
without
blemish
for
a
sin offering ;
and they
shall
cleanse
the altar ,
as they
did
cleanse
it with the bullock
.
When you
have
finished
the
purification
, you
are
to
present
a young, unblemished
bull
and an
unblemished
ram from
the flock.
When thou
hast
made
an
end
of
cleansing
it
, thou
shalt
offer
a young bullock
without
blemish
, and a
ram out
of
the flock without
blemish
.
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.
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.
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
.
Seven days shalt
thou
prepare
every
day
a goat for a sin offering :
they
shall
also prepare
a young bullock,
and a ram out
of
the flock, without
blemish
.
For
seven days the
priests
are
to
make
atonement
for
the altar and cleanse
it; so
they shall consecrate it
.
Seven days shall
they
purge
the altar and purify
it; and
they shall consecrate themselves
.
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. ’”
And
when
these days are
expired
, it
shall
be,
that
upon
the eighth day, and
so
forward,
the priests shall
make
your burnt offerings upon
the
altar,
and your
peace offerings ;
and
I will accept you, saith
the Lord GOD.
