Ezekiel 43:18 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 The man led me to the east gate.
2 There the Glory of the God of Israel came from the east. God's voice was loud like the sound of the sea. The ground was bright with the light from the Glory of God.
3 The vision that I saw was like the vision I saw by the Kebar Canal. I bowed with my face to the ground.
4 The Glory of the Lord came into the Temple through the east gate.
5 Then the Spirit picked me up and brought me into the inner courtyard. The Glory of the Lord filled the Temple.
6 I heard someone speaking to me from inside the Temple. The man was still standing beside me.
7 The voice from the Temple said to me, "Son of man, this is the place with my throne and footstool. I will live in this place among the people of Israel forever. The family of Israel will not ruin my holy name again. The kings and their people will not bring shame to my name by committing sexual sins or by burying the dead bodies of their kings in this place.
8 They will not bring shame to my name by putting their threshold next to my threshold, and their doorpost next to my doorpost. In the past, only a wall separated them from me. So they brought shame to my name every time they sinned and did those terrible things. That is why I became angry and destroyed them.
9 Now let them take their sexual sins and the dead bodies of their kings far away from me. Then I will live among them forever.
10 "Now, son of man, tell the family of Israel about the Temple. Then, when they learn about the plans for the Temple, they will be ashamed of their sins.
11 And they will be ashamed of all the bad things they have done. Let them know the design of the Temple. Let them know how it should be built, where the entrances and exits are, and all the designs on it. Teach them about all its rules and all its laws. Write these things for everyone to see, so they can obey all the laws and rules for the Temple.
12 This is the law of the Temple: The whole area surrounding it on the top of the mountain is most holy. This is the law of the Temple.
13 "And these are the measurements of the altar in cubits using the long measurement. There was a gutter all the way around the base of the altar. It was 1 cubit deep, and each side was 1 cubit wide. There was a rim around the edge 1 span high. This is how tall the altar was:
14 From the ground to the lower ledge, the base measured 2 cubits. It was 1 cubit wide. It measured 4 cubits from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge. It was 2 cubits wide.
15 The place for the fire on the altar was 4 cubits high. The four corners were shaped like horns.
16 The place for the fire on the altar was 12 cubits long by 12 cubits wide. It was perfectly square.
17 The ledge was also square, 14 cubits long by 14 cubits wide. The border around it was?cubit wide. (The gutter around the base was 1 cubits wide.) The steps going up to the altar were on the east side."
18 Then the man said to me, "Son of man, this is what the Lord God says: 'These are the rules for the altar: At the time you build the altar, use these rules to offer burnt offerings and to sprinkle blood on it.
19 You will give a young bull as a sin offering to the men from Zadok's family. These men are the priests from the tribe of Levi. They are the men who serve me by bringing the offerings to me.'" This is what the Lord God said.
20 "You will take some of the bull's blood and put it on the altar's four horns, on the four corners of the ledge, and on the rim around it. In this way you will make the altar pure.
21 Then take the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the proper place in the Temple area, outside the Temple building.
22 "On the second day you will offer a male goat that has nothing wrong with it. It will be for a sin offering. The priests will make the altar pure the same way they made it pure with the bull.
23 When you have finished making the altar pure, you will offer a young bull that has nothing wrong with it and a ram from the flock that has nothing wrong with it.
24 Then you will offer them before the Lord. The priests will sprinkle salt on them. Then they will offer the bull and ram up as a burnt offering to the Lord.
25 You will prepare a goat every day for seven days for a sin offering. Also, you will prepare a young bull and a ram from the flock. These animals must have nothing wrong with them.
26 For seven days the priests will make the altar pure and ready for use in worshiping God.
27 On the eighth day, and every day after that, the priests must offer your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar. Then I will accept you." This is what the Lord God said.
1 Afterward he brought H1980 me to H413 PREP the gate H8179 , even the gate H8179 NMS that H834 RPRO looketh H6437 toward H1870 NMS the east H6921 :
2 And , behold H2009 IJEC , the glory H3519 of the God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 came H935 VQPMS from the way H1870 of the east H6921 : and his voice H6963 was like a noise H6963 of many H7227 AMP waters H4325 OMD : and the earth H776 WD-GFS shined H215 with his glory H3519 .
3 And it was according to the appearance H4758 of the vision H4758 which H834 RPRO I saw H7200 VQQ1MS , even according to the vision H4758 that H834 RPRO I saw H7200 VQQ1MS when I came H935 to destroy H7843 L-VPFC the city H5892 D-GFS : and the visions H4759 were like the vision H4758 that H834 RPRO I saw H7200 VQQ1MS by H413 PREP the river H5104 Chebar H3529 ; and I fell H5307 upon H413 PREP my face H6440 .
4 And the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 EDS came H935 VQPMS into H413 PREP the house H1004 by the way H1870 NMS of the gate H8179 NMS whose H834 RPRO prospect H6440 CMP-3MS is toward H1870 NMS the east H6921 .
5 So the spirit H7307 NFS took me up H5375 , and brought H935 me into H413 PREP the inner H6442 court H2691 ; and , behold H2009 IJEC , the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 EDS filled H4390 VQQ3MS the house H1004 .
6 And I heard H8085 him speaking H1696 unto H413 PREP-1MS me out of the house H1004 ; and the man H376 W-NMS stood H1961 VQQ3MS by H681 me .
7 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-1MS me , Son H1121 of man H120 NMS , the place H4725 CMS of my throne H3678 , and the place H4725 CMS of the soles H3709 of my feet H7272 CFD-3MS , where H834 RPRO I will dwell H7931 in the midst H8432 B-NMS of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 forever H5769 L-NMS , and my holy H6944 name H8034 CMS , shall the house H1004 of Israel H3478 no H3808 W-NPAR more H5750 ADV defile H2930 , neither they H1992 PPRO-3MP , nor their kings H4428 , by their whoredom H2184 , nor by the carcasses H6297 of their kings H4428 in their high places H1116 .
8 In their setting H5414 of their threshold H5592 by H854 my thresholds H5592 , and their post H4201 by H681 my posts H4201 , and the wall H7023 between H996 W-PREP-1MS me and them , they have even defiled H2930 my holy H6944 name H8034 CMS by their abominations H8441 that H834 RPRO they have committed H6213 VQQ3MP : wherefore I have consumed H398 them in mine anger H639 B-CMS-1MS .
9 Now H6258 ADV let them put away H7368 their whoredom H2184 , and the carcasses H6297 of their kings H4428 , far from H4480 M-PREP-1MS me , and I will dwell H7931 in the midst H8432 of them forever H5769 .
10 Thou H859 PPRO-2MS son H1121 CMS of man H120 NMS , show H5046 VHI2MS the house H1004 to the house H1004 D-NMS of Israel H3478 , that they may be ashamed H3637 of their iniquities H5771 : and let them measure H4058 the pattern H8508 .
11 And if H518 they be ashamed H3637 of all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO they have done H6213 VQQ3MP , show H3045 them the form H6699 of the house H1004 D-NMS , and the fashion H8498 thereof , and the goings out H4161 thereof , and the comings in H4126 thereof , and all H3605 NMS the forms H6699 thereof , and all H3605 NMS the ordinances H2708 thereof , and all H3605 NMS the forms H6699 thereof , and all H3605 NMS the laws H8451 thereof : and write H3789 it in their sight H5869 , that they may keep H8104 the whole H3605 NMS form H6699 thereof , and all H3605 NMS the ordinances H2708 thereof , and do H6213 W-VQQ3MP them .
12 This H2063 DPRO is the law H8451 CFS of the house H1004 ; Upon H5921 PREP the top H7218 NMS of the mountain H2022 the whole H3605 NMS limit H1366 thereof round about H5439 ADV shall be most holy H6944 . Behold H2009 IJEC , this H2063 DPRO is the law H8451 CFS of the house H1004 .
13 And these H428 W-PMP are the measures H4060 of the altar H4196 D-NMS after the cubits H520 : The cubit H520 UFS is a cubit H520 UFS and a handbreadth H2948 ; even the bottom H2436 shall be a cubit H520 , and the breadth H7341 a cubit H520 , and the border H1366 thereof by H413 PREP the edge H8193 thereof round about H5439 ADV shall be a H259 span H2239 : and this H2088 W-PMS shall be the higher place H1354 of the altar H4196 .
14 And from the bottom H2436 upon the ground H776 D-GFS even to H5704 PREP the lower H8481 settle H5835 shall be two H8147 MFD cubits H520 , and the breadth H7341 W-CMS one H259 MFS cubit H520 UFS ; and from the lesser settle H5835 even to H5704 PREP the greater H1419 D-AFS settle H5835 shall be four H702 MFS cubits H520 , and the breadth H7341 W-CMS one cubit H520 .
15 So the altar H2025 shall be four H702 MFS cubits H520 ; and from the altar H741 and upward H4605 shall be four H702 horns H7161 .
16 And the altar H741 shall be twelve H8147 MFS cubits long H753 CMS , twelve H8147 broad H7341 , square H7251 in H413 PREP the four H702 squares H7253 thereof .
17 And the settle H5835 shall be fourteen H702 MFS cubits long H753 CMS and fourteen H702 B-BFS broad H7341 in H413 PREP the four H702 squares H7253 thereof ; and the border H1366 about H5439 ADV it shall be half H2677 a cubit H520 ; and the bottom H2436 thereof shall be a cubit H520 UFS about H5439 ADV ; and his stairs H4609 shall look H6437 toward the east H6921 .
18 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-1MS me , Son H1121 of man H120 NMS , thus H3541 saith H559 W-VQY3MS the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 ; These H428 PMP are the ordinances H2708 CFP of the altar H4196 D-NMS in the day H3117 B-NMS when they shall make H6213 it , to offer H5927 burnt offerings H5930 NFS thereon H5921 PREP-3MS , and to sprinkle H2236 blood H1818 NMS thereon H5921 PREP-3MS .
19 And thou shalt give H5414 to H413 PREP the priests H3548 the Levites H3881 that H834 RPRO be of the seed H2233 of Zadok H6659 , which approach H7138 unto H413 PREP me , to minister H8334 unto me , saith H5002 the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 , a young H1121 bullock H6499 for a sin offering H2403 .
20 And thou shalt take H3947 of the blood H1818 thereof , and put H5414 it on H5921 PREP the four H702 MFS horns H7161 of it , and on H413 W-PREP the four H702 MFS corners H6438 CFP of the settle H5835 , and upon H413 W-PREP the border H1366 round about H5439 ADV : thus shalt thou cleanse H2398 and purge H3722 it .
21 Thou shalt take H3947 the bullock H6499 also of the sin offering H2403 , and he shall burn H8313 it in the appointed place H4662 of the house H1004 D-NMS , without H2351 the sanctuary H4720 .
22 And on the second H8145 D-ONUM day H3117 thou shalt offer H7126 a kid H8163 of the goats H5795 without blemish H8549 AMS for a sin offering H2403 ; and they shall cleanse H2398 the altar H4196 D-NMS , as H834 K-RPRO they did cleanse H2398 it with the bullock H6499 .
23 When thou hast made an end H3615 of cleansing H2398 it , thou shalt offer H7126 a young H1121 bullock H6499 without blemish H8549 AMS , and a ram H352 out of H4480 PREP the flock H6629 without blemish H8549 AMS .
24 And thou shalt offer H7126 them before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 EDS , and the priests H3548 shall cast H7993 salt H4417 NMS upon H5921 PREP-3MP them , and they shall offer them up H5927 for a burnt offering H5930 unto the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
25 Seven H7651 RMS days H3117 NMP shalt thou prepare H6213 VQY2MS every day H3117 a goat H8163 for a sin offering H2403 CFS : they shall also prepare H6213 a young H1121 bullock H6499 , and a ram H352 out of H4480 PREP the flock H6629 , without blemish H8549 .
26 Seven H7651 RMS days H3117 NMP shall they purge H3722 the altar H4196 D-NMS and purify H2891 it ; and they shall consecrate H4390 W-VQI2MP themselves .
27 And when these days H3117 D-NMP are expired H3615 , it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , that upon the eighth H8066 day H3117 , and so forward H1973 , the priests H3548 shall make H6213 your burnt offerings H5930 upon H5921 PREP the altar H4196 D-NMS , and your peace offerings H8002 ; and I will accept H7521 you , saith H5002 the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 .
