1. He led me to the gate, the one that faces east,
|
1. Afterward he brought H1980 me to H413 the gate H8179 , even the gate H8179 that H834 looketh H6437 toward H1870 the east H6921 :
|
|
2. and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice sounded like the roar of mighty waters, and the earth shone with His glory.
|
2. And, behold H2009 , the glory H3519 of the God H430 of Israel H3478 came H935 from the way H4480 H1870 of the east H6921 : and his voice H6963 was like a noise H6963 of many H7227 waters H4325 : and the earth H776 shined H215 with his glory H4480 H3519 .
|
|
3. The vision I saw was like the one I had seen when He came to destroy the city, and like the ones I had seen by the Chebar Canal. I fell facedown.
|
3. And it was according to the appearance H4758 of the vision H4758 which H834 I saw H7200 , even according to the vision H4758 that H834 I saw H7200 when I came H935 to destroy H7843 H853 the city H5892 : and the visions H4759 were like the vision H4758 that H834 I saw H7200 by H413 the river H5104 Chebar H3529 ; and I fell H5307 upon H413 my face H6440 .
|
|
4. The glory of the LORD entered the temple by way of the gate that faced east.
|
4. And the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 came H935 into H413 the house H1004 by the way H1870 of the gate H8179 whose H834 prospect H6440 is toward H1870 the east H6921 .
|
|
5. Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the inner court, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.
|
5. So the spirit H7307 took me up H5375 , and brought H935 me into H413 the inner H6442 court H2691 ; and, behold H2009 , the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 filled H4390 the house H1004 .
|
|
6. While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from the temple.
|
6. And I heard H8085 him speaking H1696 unto H413 me out of the house H4480 H1004 ; and the man H376 stood H1961 H5975 by H681 me.
|
|
7. He said to me: "Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place for the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the Israelites forever. The house of Israel and their kings will no longer defile My holy name by their religious prostitution and by the corpses of their kings at their high places.
|
7. And he said H559 unto H413 me, Son H1121 of man H120 , H853 the place H4725 of my throne H3678 , and the place H4725 of the soles H3709 of my feet H7272 , where H834 H8033 I will dwell H7931 in the midst H8432 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 forever H5769 , and my holy H6944 name H8034 , shall the house H1004 of Israel H3478 no H3808 more H5750 defile H2930 , neither they H1992 , nor their kings H4428 , by their whoredom H2184 , nor by the carcasses H6297 of their kings H4428 in their high places H1116 .
|
|
8. Whenever they placed their threshold next to My threshold and their doorposts beside My doorposts, with only a wall between Me and them, they were defiling My holy name by the abominations they committed. So I destroyed them in My anger.
|
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 me and them , they have even defiled H2930 H853 my holy H6944 name H8034 by their abominations H8441 that H834 they have committed H6213 : wherefore I have consumed H398 them in mine anger H639 .
|
|
9. Now let them remove their prostitution and the corpses of their kings far from Me, and I will dwell among them forever.
|
9. Now H6258 let them put away H7368 H853 their whoredom H2184 , and the carcasses H6297 of their kings H4428 , far from H4480 me , and I will dwell H7931 in the midst H8432 of them forever H5769 .
|
|
10. "As for you, son of man, describe the temple to the house of Israel, so that they may be ashamed of their iniquities. Let them measure its pattern,
|
10. Thou H859 son H1121 of man H120 , show H5046 H853 the house H1004 H853 to the house H1004 of Israel H3478 , that they may be ashamed H3637 of their iniquities H4480 H5771 : and let them measure H4058 H853 the pattern H8508 .
|
|
11. and they will be ashamed of all that they have done. Reveal the design of the temple to them-- its layout with its exits and entrances-- its complete design along with all its statutes, design specifications, and laws. Write it down in their sight so that they may observe its complete design and all its statutes and may carry them out.
|
11. And if H518 they be ashamed H3637 of all H4480 H3605 that H834 they have done H6213 , show H3045 them the form H6699 of the house H1004 , and the fashion H8498 thereof , and the goings out H4161 thereof , and the comings in H4126 thereof , and all H3605 the forms H6699 thereof , and all H3605 the ordinances H2708 thereof , and all H3605 the forms H6699 thereof , and all H3605 the laws H8451 thereof : and write H3789 it in their sight H5869 , that they may keep H8104 H853 the whole H3605 form H6699 thereof , and all H3605 the ordinances H2708 thereof , and do H6213 them.
|
|
12. This is the law of the temple: all its surrounding territory on top of the mountain will be especially holy. Yes, this is the law of the temple.
|
12. This H2063 is the law H8451 of the house H1004 ; Upon H5921 the top H7218 of the mountain H2022 the whole H3605 limit H1366 thereof round about H5439 H5439 shall be most holy H6944 H6944 . Behold H2009 , this H2063 is the law H8451 of the house H1004 .
|
|
13. "These are the measurements of the altar in units of length (each unit being the standard length plus three inches): the gutter is 21 inches deep and 21 inches wide, with a rim of nine inches around its edge. This is the base of the altar.
|
13. And these H428 are the measures H4060 of the altar H4196 after the cubits H520 : The cubit H520 is a cubit H520 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 the edge H8193 thereof round about H5439 shall be a H259 span H2239 : and this H2088 shall be the higher place H1354 of the altar H4196 .
|
|
14. The distance from the gutter on the ground to the lower ledge is three and a half feet, and the width of the ledge is 21 inches. There are seven feet from the small ledge to the large ledge, whose width is also 21 inches.
|
14. And from the bottom H4480 H2436 upon the ground H776 even to H5704 the lower H8481 settle H5835 shall be two H8147 cubits H520 , and the breadth H7341 one H259 cubit H520 ; and from the lesser settle H4480 H5835 H6996 even to H5704 the greater H1419 settle H5835 shall be four H702 cubits H520 , and the breadth H7341 one cubit H520 .
|
|
15. The altar hearth is seven feet high, and four horns project upward from the hearth.
|
15. So the altar H2025 shall be four H702 cubits H520 ; and from the altar H4480 H741 and upward H4605 shall be four H702 horns H7161 .
|
|
16. The hearth is square, 21 feet long by 21 feet wide.
|
16. And the altar H741 shall be twelve H8147 H6240 cubits long H753 , twelve H8147 H6240 broad H7341 , square H7251 in H413 the four H702 squares H7253 thereof.
|
|
17. The ledge is 24 and a half feet long by 24 and a half feet wide, with four equal sides. The rim all around it is 10 and a half inches, and its gutter is 21 inches all around it. The altar's steps face east."
|
17. And the settle H5835 shall be fourteen H702 H6240 cubits long H753 and fourteen H702 H6240 broad H7341 in H413 the four H702 squares H7253 thereof ; and the border H1366 about H5439 it shall be half H2677 a cubit H520 ; and the bottom H2436 thereof shall be a cubit H520 about H5439 ; and his stairs H4609 shall look H6437 toward the east H6921 .
|
|
18. Then He said to me: "Son of man, this is what the Lord God says: These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is constructed, so that burnt offerings may be sacrificed on it and blood may be sprinkled on it:
|
18. And he said H559 unto H413 me, Son H1121 of man H120 , thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; These H428 are the ordinances H2708 of the altar H4196 in the day H3117 when they shall make H6213 it , to offer H5927 burnt offerings H5930 thereon H5921 , and to sprinkle H2236 blood H1818 thereon H5921 .
|
|
19. You are to give a bull from the herd as a sin offering to the Levitical priests who are from the offspring of Zadok, who approach Me in order to serve Me." This is the declaration of the Lord God.
|
19. And thou shalt give H5414 to H413 the priests H3548 the Levites H3881 that H834 be of the seed H4480 H2233 of Zadok H6659 , which approach H7138 unto H413 me , to minister H8334 unto me, saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 , a young H1121 H1241 bullock H6499 for a sin offering H2403 .
|
|
20. "You must take some of its blood and apply it to the four horns of the altar, the four corners of the ledge, and all around the rim. In this way you will purify the altar and make atonement for it.
|
20. And thou shalt take H3947 of the blood H4480 H1818 thereof , and put H5414 it on H5921 the four H702 horns H7161 of it , and on H413 the four H702 corners H6438 of the settle H5835 , and upon H413 the border H1366 round about H5439 : thus shalt thou cleanse H2398 and purge H3722 it.
|
|
21. Then you must take away the bull for the sin offering, and it must be burned outside the sanctuary in the place appointed for the temple.
|
21. Thou shalt take H3947 H853 the bullock H6499 also of the sin offering H2403 , and he shall burn H8313 it in the appointed place H4662 of the house H1004 , without H4480 H2351 the sanctuary H4720 .
|
|
22. "On the second day you are to present an unblemished male goat as a sin offering. They will purify the altar just as they did with the bull.
|
22. And on the second H8145 day H3117 thou shalt offer H7126 a kid H8163 of the goats H5795 without blemish H8549 for a sin offering H2403 ; and they shall cleanse H2398 H853 the altar H4196 , as H834 they did cleanse H2398 it with the bullock H6499 .
|
|
23. When you have finished the purification, you are to present a young, unblemished bull and an unblemished ram from the flock.
|
23. When thou hast made an end H3615 of cleansing H4480 H2398 it , thou shalt offer H7126 a young H1121 H1241 bullock H6499 without blemish H8549 , and a ram H352 out of H4480 the flock H6629 without blemish H8549 .
|
|
24. You must present them before the LORD; the priests will throw salt on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the LORD.
|
24. And thou shalt offer H7126 them before H6440 the LORD H3068 , and the priests H3548 shall cast H7993 salt H4417 upon H5921 them , and they shall offer them up H5927 H853 for a burnt offering H5930 unto the LORD H3068 .
|
|
25. You will offer a goat for a sin offering each day for seven days. A young bull and a ram from the flock, both unblemished, must also be offered.
|
25. Seven H7651 days H3117 shalt thou prepare H6213 every day H3117 a goat H8163 for a sin offering H2403 : they shall also prepare H6213 a young H1121 H1241 bullock H6499 , and a ram H352 out of H4480 the flock H6629 , without blemish H8549 .
|
|
26. For seven days the priests are to make atonement for the altar and cleanse it. In this way they will consecrate it
|
26. Seven H7651 days H3117 shall they purge H3722 H853 the altar H4196 and purify H2891 it ; and they shall consecrate H4390 H3027 themselves.
|
|
27. and complete the days of purification. Then on the eighth day and afterwards, the priests will offer your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar, and I will accept you." This is the declaration of the Lord God.
|
27. And when H853 these days H3117 are expired H3615 , it shall be H1961 , that upon the eighth H8066 day H3117 , and so forward H1973 , the priests H3548 shall make H6213 H853 your burnt offerings H5930 upon H5921 the altar H4196 , and your peace offerings H8002 ; and I will accept H7521 you, saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
