Ezekiel

1 Af­ter­ward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh to­ward the east: 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. 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. 4 And the glo­ry of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is to­ward the east. 5 So the spir­it took me up, and brought me into the in­ner court; and, be­hold, the glo­ry of the LORD filled the house. 6 And I heard him speak­ing unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 15 So the al­tar shall be four cu­bits; and from the al­tar and up­ward shall be four horns. 16 And the al­tar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in the four squares there­of. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 26 Sev­en days shall they purge the al­tar and pu­ri­fy it; and they shall con­se­crate them­selves. 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.
