43Then the man brought me to the gate facing east,
2and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of rushing waters, and the land was radiant with his glory.
3The vision I saw was like the vision I had seen when he came to destroy the city and like the visions I had seen by the Kebar River, and I fell facedown.
4The glory of the LORD entered the temple through the gate facing east.
5Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.
6While the man was standing 1 beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the temple.
7He said: "Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet. This is where I will live among the Israelites forever. The house of Israel will never again defile 2 my holy name-neither they nor their kings-by their prostitution and the lifeless idols 3 of their kings at their high places.
8When they placed their threshold next to my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall between me and them, they defiled 4 my holy name by their detestable practices. So I destroyed them in my anger.
9Now let them put away from me their prostitution and the lifeless idols of their kings, and I will live among them forever.
10"Son of man, describe the temple to the people of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their sins. Let them consider the plan,
11and if they are ashamed of all they have done, make known to them the design of the temple-its arrangement, its exits and entrances-its whole design and all its regulations and laws. Write these down before them so that they may be faithful to its design and follow all its regulations.
12"This is the law of the temple: All the surrounding area on top of the mountain will be most holy. Such is the law of the temple.
13"These are the measurements of the altar in long cubits, that cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth : Its gutter 5 is a cubit deep and a cubit wide, with a rim 6 of one span around the edge. And this is the height of the altar:
14From the gutter on the ground up to the lower ledge 7 it is two cubits high and a cubit wide, and from the smaller ledge up to the larger ledge it is four cubits high and a cubit wide.
15The altar hearth 8 is four cubits high, and four horns project upward from the hearth.
16The altar hearth is square, twelve cubits long and twelve cubits wide.
17The upper ledge also is square, fourteen cubits long and fourteen cubits wide, with a rim of half a cubit and a gutter of a cubit all around. The steps of the altar face east."
18Then he said to me, "Son of man, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: These will be the regulations for sacrificing burnt offerings and sprinkling blood upon the altar when it is built:
19You are to give a young bull as a sin offering to the priests, who are Levites, of the family of Zadok, who come near to minister before me, declares the Sovereign LORD .
20You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar and on the four corners of the upper ledge and all around the rim, and so purify the altar and make atonement for it.
21You are to take the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the designated part of the temple area outside the sanctuary 9.
22"On the second day you are to offer a male goat without defect for a sin offering, and the altar is to be purified as it was purified with the bull.
23When you have finished purifying it, you are to offer a young bull and a ram 10 from the flock, both without defect.
24You are to offer them before the LORD , and the priests are to sprinkle salt on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the LORD .
25"For seven days you are to provide a male goat daily for a sin offering; you are also to provide a young bull and a ram from the flock, both without defect.
26For seven days they are to make atonement for the altar and cleanse 11 it; thus they will dedicate it.
27At the end of these days, from the eighth day on, the priests are to present your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar. Then I will accept you, declares the Sovereign LORD ."
