1. The man led me to the east gate.
|
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. 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.
|
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 that I saw was like the vision I saw by the Kebar Canal. I bowed with my face to the ground.
|
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 came into the Temple through the east gate.
|
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 picked me up and brought me into the inner courtyard. 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. I heard someone speaking to me from inside the Temple. The man was still standing beside me.
|
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. 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.
|
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. 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.
|
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 take their sexual sins and the dead bodies of their kings far away from me. Then I will live 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. "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.
|
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 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.
|
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: The whole area surrounding it on the top of the mountain is most holy. 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. "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:
|
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. 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.
|
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 place for the fire on the altar was 4 cubits high. The four corners were shaped like horns.
|
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 place for the fire on the altar was 12 cubits long by 12 cubits wide. It was perfectly square.
|
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 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."
|
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 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.
|
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 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.
|
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 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.
|
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 take the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the proper place in the Temple area, outside the Temple building.
|
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 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.
|
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 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.
|
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. 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.
|
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 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.
|
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 will make the altar pure and ready for use in worshiping God.
|
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. 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.
|
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 .
