Ezekiel 43:1
|
|
Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the
gate that looketh toward the east: |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:2
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:3
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:4
|
|
And the glory of the LORD came into the house
by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:5
|
|
So the spirit took me up, and brought me into
the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:6
|
|
And I heard him speaking unto me out of the
house; and the man stood by me. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:7
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:8
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:9
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:10
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:11
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:12
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:13
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:14
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:15
|
|
So the altar shall be four cubits; and from
the altar and upward shall be four horns. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:16
|
|
And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve
broad, square in the four squares thereof. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:17
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:18
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:19
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:20
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:21
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:22
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:23
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:24
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:25
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:26
|
|
Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify
it; and they shall consecrate themselves. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 43:27
|
|
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. |
