Ezekiel 43 — LSV
43Verse 1And he causes me to go to the gate, the gate that is looking eastward.Verse 2And behold, the glory of the God of Israel has come from the way of the east, and His voice [is] as the noise of many waters, and the earth has shone from His glory.Verse 3And 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.Verse 4And the glory of YHWH has come into the house, the way of the gate whose face [is] eastward.Verse 5And [the] Spirit takes me up, and brings me into the inner court, and behold, the glory of YHWH has filled the house.Verse 6And I hear one speaking to me from the house, and a man has been standing near me,Verse 7and He says to 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 for all time, || The house of Israel defiles My holy Name no longer, || They, and their kings, by their whoredom, || And by the carcasses of their kings—their high places.Verse 8In their putting their threshold with My threshold, || And their doorpost near My doorpost, || 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 My anger.Verse 9Now they put their whoredom far off, || And the carcasses of their kings—from Me, || And I have dwelt in their midst for all time.Verse 10You, son of man, || Show the house of Israel the house, || And they are ashamed of their iniquities, || And they have measured the measurement.Verse 11And 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.Verse 12This [is] a law of the house: on the top of the mountain, all its border all around [is] most holy; behold, this [is] a law of the house.Verse 13And these [are] measurements of the altar by cubits: the cubit [is] a cubit and a handbreadth, and the center [is] a cubit, and the breadth a cubit; and its border on its edge around [is] one span, and this [is] the upper part of the altar.Verse 14And from the center of the ground to the lower border [is] two cubits, and the breadth—one cubit, and from the lesser border to the greater border—four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.Verse 15And the altar [is] four cubits, and from the altar and upward [are] four horns.Verse 16And the altar [is] twelve long by twelve broad, square in its four sides.Verse 17And the border [is] fourteen long by fourteen broad, at its four sides, and the border around it [is] half a cubit, and the center of it [is] a cubit around, and its steps are looking eastward.”Verse 18And He says to me, “Son of man, thus said Lord YHWH: 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 blood on it.Verse 19And you have given to the priests, the Levites—who [are] of the seed of Zadok, who are near to Me, a declaration of Lord YHWH, to serve Me—a calf from the herd, for a sin-offering.Verse 20And you have taken of its blood, and have put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of its border, and on the border all around, and have cleansed it, and purified it.Verse 21And you have taken the bullock of the sin-offering, and have burned it in the appointed place of the house at the outside of the sanctuary.Verse 22And on the second day you bring a kid of the goats near, a perfect one, for a sin-offering, and they have cleansed the altar, as they cleansed [it] for the bullock.Verse 23In your finishing cleansing, you bring a calf near, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and a ram out of the flock, a perfect one.Verse 24And you have brought them near before YHWH, and the priests have cast salt on them, and have caused them to go up, a burnt-offering to YHWH.Verse 25[For] seven days you prepare a goat daily for a sin-offering; and they also prepare a bullock, a son of the herd, and a ram out of the flock—perfect ones.Verse 26[For] seven days they purify the altar, and have cleansed it, and filled their hand.Verse 27And the days are completed, and it has come to pass on the eighth day, and from now on, the priests prepare your burnt-offerings and your peace-offerings on the altar, and I have accepted you—a declaration of Lord YHWH.”
