Literal Standard Version 2020

- Kapitel 43 -

1
And he causes me to go to the gate, the gate that is looking eastward.
2
And 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.
3
And 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.
4
And the glory of YHWH has come into the house, the way of the gate whose face [is] eastward.
5
And [the] Spirit takes me up, and brings me into the inner court, and behold, the glory of YHWH has filled the house.
6
And I hear one speaking to me from the house, and a man has been standing near me,
7
and 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 kingstheir high places.
8
In 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.
9
Now they put their whoredom far off, || And the carcasses of their kingsfrom Me, || And I have dwelt in their midst for all time.
10
You, son of man, || Show the house of Israel the house, || And they are ashamed of their iniquities, || And they have measured the measurement.
11
And 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 lawscause them to know, || And write [it] before their eyes, || And they observe all its forms, || And all its statutes, and have done them.
12
This [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.

The Altar of Sacrifice

13
And 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.
14
And from the center of the ground to the lower border [is] two cubits, and the breadthone cubit, and from the lesser border to the greater border—four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.
15
And the altar [is] four cubits, and from the altar and upward [are] four horns.
16
And the altar [is] twelve long by twelve broad, square in its four sides.
17
And 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.”
18
And 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.
19
And you have given to the priests, the Leviteswho [are] of the seed of Zadok, who are near to Me, a declaration of Lord YHWH, to serve Mea calf from the herd, for a sin-offering.
20
And 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.
21
And 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.
22
And 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.
23
In 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.
24
And 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.
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 flockperfect ones.
26
[For] seven days they purify the altar, and have cleansed it, and filled their hand.
27
And 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 youa declaration of Lord YHWH.”
