Ezekiel - Chapter 43 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. Afterward he brought me to the gate, {cf15I 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 {cf15I was} like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.
  • 3. And {cf15I it was} according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, {cf15I even} according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions {cf15I 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 {cf15I 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 {cf15I 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, {cf15I 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 {cf15I it} in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.
  • 12. This {cf15I is} the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about {cf15I shall be} most holy. Behold, this {cf15I is} the law of the house.
  • 13. And these {cf15I are} the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit {cf15I is} a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom {cf15I shall be} a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about {cf15I shall be} a span: and this {cf15I shall be} the higher place of the altar.
  • 14. And from the bottom {cf15I upon} the ground {cf15I even} to the lower settle {cf15I shall be} two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle {cf15I even} to the greater settle {cf15I shall be} four cubits, and the breadth {cf15I one} cubit.
  • 15. So the altar {cf15I shall be} four cubits; and from the altar and upward {cf15I shall be} four horns.
  • 16. And the altar {cf15I shall be} twelve {cf15I cubits} long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof.
  • 17. And the settle {cf15I shall be} fourteen {cf15I cubits} long and fourteen broad in the four squares thereof; and the border about it {cf15I shall be} half a cubit; and the bottom thereof {cf15I 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 {cf15I 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 {cf15I 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 {cf15I it} with the bullock.
  • 23. When thou hast made an end of cleansing {cf15I 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 {cf15I for} a burnt offering unto the LORD.
  • 25. Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat {cf15I 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, {cf15I that} upon the eighth day, and {cf15I 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.
