and their doorpost beside my doorpost, and there was [but]
the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy
name by their abominations which they have committed:
therefore I have consumed them in my anger.
043:009 Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies
of their kings, far from me; and I will dwell in the midst
of them forever.
043:010 You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel,
that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them
measure the pattern.
043:011 If they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them
the form of the house, and the fashion of it, and the exits
of it, and the entrances of it, and all the forms of it,
and all the ordinances of it, and all the forms of it,
and all the laws of it; and write it in their sight; that they
may keep the whole form of it, and all the ordinances of it,
and do them.
043:012 This is the law of the house: on the top of the mountain
the whole limit of it round about shall be most holy.
Behold, this is the law of the house.
043:013 These are the measures of the altar by cubits (the cubit
is a cubit and a handbreadth): the bottom shall be a cubit,
and the breadth a cubit, and the border of it by the edge of it
round about a span; and this shall be the base of the altar.
043:014 From the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall
be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from
the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits,
and the breadth a cubit.
043:015 The upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth
and upward there shall be four horns.
043:016 The altar hearth shall be twelve [cubits] long by twelve broad,
square in the four sides of it.
043:017 The ledge shall be fourteen [cubits] long by fourteen broad
in the four sides of it; and the border about it shall be half
a cubit; and the bottom of it shall be a cubit round about;
and the steps of it shall look toward the east.
043:018 He said to me, Son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh: These are
the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it,
to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.
043:019 You shall give to the priests the Levites who are of
the seed of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me,
says the Lord Yahweh, a young bull for a sin offering.
043:020 You shall take of the blood of it, and put it on the four horns of it,
and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border round about:
thus shall you cleanse it and make atonement for it.
043:021 You shall also take the bull of the sin offering,
and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house,
outside of the sanctuary.
