耶和華的榮光充滿聖殿

43 以後，他領我到朝東的門去。 2 看哪！以色列　神的榮耀從東面而來；他的聲音好像洪水的聲音，大地因他的榮耀而發光。 3 我所見的異象，好像我在他來毀滅那城的時候所見的異象一樣，又像我在迦巴魯河邊所見的異象一般，我就俯伏在地上。 4 耶和華的榮耀，從朝東的門進入殿中。 5 靈把我提起來，領我進了內院。我看見耶和華的榮耀充滿了殿。

主在聖殿中

6 那人站在我旁邊的時候，我聽見主從殿中對我說話。 7 他對我說：“人子啊！這是我寶座之地，是我腳掌所踏之地；我要住在那裡，在以色列人中間，直到永遠。以色列家和他們的諸王，都必不再以他們的淫亂和諸王在邱壇上的石碑玷污我的聖名。 8 他們的門檻靠近我的門檻，他們的門框靠近我的門框，我與他們只有一牆之隔的時候；他們以自己所行的可憎之事玷污了我的聖名，所以我在怒氣中滅絕他們。 9 現在他們要從我面前除去淫亂和他們諸王的石碑，我就住在他們中間，直到永遠。

10 “人子啊！你要把這殿指示以色列家，使他們因自己的罪孽而羞愧，又要他們量度殿的尺寸。 11 他們若因自己所行的羞愧，你就要把殿的設計、結構、出入之處，以及一切設計、規條、禮儀、法則，都指示他們，在他們眼前寫下來，使他們遵著殿的一切設計和規條去作。 12 殿的法則是這樣：殿在山頂上周圍的界限都是至聖的。這就是殿的法則。

祭壇

13 “祭壇的尺寸是：底座高五十公分，邊緣寬五十公分，四圍另有邊高二十五公分。這是祭壇的座。 14 從底座到下層的臺座，高一公尺，邊緣寬五十公分；從小臺座到大臺座，高二公尺，邊緣寬五十公分。 15 祭壇的供臺高二公尺，從供臺向上突出四個角， 16 供臺長六公尺，寬六公尺，四面見方。 17 大臺座長七公尺，寬七公尺，四面見方；四圍有邊高二十五公分；底座四圍的邊緣寬五十公分。另有臺階朝向東面。”

獻祭禮儀

18 他對我說：“人子啊！主耶和華這樣說：祭壇的規條是這樣：做成了祭壇，在上面獻燔祭、灑上血的時候， 19 你要把一頭公牛犢給那些親近我、事奉我的祭司利未人作贖罪祭，他們是撒督的後裔。這是主耶和華的宣告。 20 你要取些公牛犢的血，抹在祭壇的四角和臺座的四角，以及四圍那些突起的邊上。你這樣潔淨祭壇，祭壇就潔淨了。 21 你又要把那作贖罪祭的公牛犢，燒在聖所外面，在聖殿指定的地方。 22 第二天，你要獻一隻沒有殘疾的公山羊作贖罪祭，為要潔淨祭壇，像用公牛犢潔淨祭壇一樣。 23 你潔淨了祭壇之後，就要獻一頭沒有殘疾的公牛犢和羊群中一隻沒有殘疾的公綿羊。 24 你要在耶和華面前把牠們獻上，祭司們要把鹽撒在牠們身上，作燔祭獻給耶和華。 25 一連七天，每天你都要預備一頭公山羊為贖罪祭，也要預備一頭公牛犢和羊群中的一隻公綿羊，都要沒有殘疾的。 26 一連七天，祭司們都要潔淨祭壇，祭壇就潔淨了。這樣，他們就把祭壇分別為聖了。 27 滿了七天，從第八天起，祭司們要在祭壇上獻你們的燔祭和平安祭。我那時必悅納你們；這是主耶和華的宣告。”

Yahweh’s Glory Returns to the Temple

43 Then he led me to the (A)gate, the gate facing toward the east; 2 and behold, the (B)glory of the God of Israel was coming from the way of the (C)east. And His (D)voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth (E)shone with His glory. 3 And it was like the appearance of the vision which I saw, like the (F)vision which I saw when [a]He came to (G)bring the city to ruin. And the visions were like the vision which I saw by the (H)river Chebar; and I (I)fell on my face. 4 And the glory of Yahweh came into the house by the way of the gate facing toward the (J)east. 5 And the (K)Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the (L)glory of Yahweh filled the house.

6 Then I heard one speaking to me from the house, while a (M)man was standing beside me. 7 He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My (N)throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will (O)dwell among the sons of Israel forever. And the house of Israel will not again defile My holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their harlotry and by the [b](P)corpses of their kings [c]when they die, 8 by putting their threshold by My threshold and their door post beside My door post, with only the wall between Me and them. And they have (Q)defiled My holy name by their abominations which they have done. So I have consumed them in My anger. 9 Now let them (R)put away their harlotry and the [d]corpses of their kings far from Me; and I will (S)dwell among them forever.

10 “As for you, son of man, [e](T)describe the house of Yahweh to the house of Israel, that they may feel (U)dishonor for their iniquities; and let them measure the [f](V)plan. 11 If they feel dishonor for all that they have done, make known to them the [g]design of the house, its structure, its (W)exits, its entrances, all its designs, all its statutes[h], and all its laws. And write it (X)in their sight so that they may keep its whole [i]design and all its statutes and (Y)do them. 12 This is the [j]law of the house: within its entire boundary, on the top of the (Z)mountain all around, shall be most holy. Behold, this is the [k]law of the house.

The Altar and Offerings

13 “And these are the measurements of the (AA)altar by cubits (the (AB)cubit being a [l]cubit and a [m]handbreadth): the [n]base shall be a cubit and the width a cubit, and its border on its edge round about one [o]span; and this shall be the height of the [p]base of the altar. 14 And from the base on the ground to the lower (AC)ledge shall be two [q]cubits and the width one cubit; and from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge shall be four cubits and the width [r]one cubit. 15 And the [s]altar hearth shall be four cubits; and from the [t]altar hearth shall extend upwards four (AD)horns. 16 Now the [u]altar hearth shall be [v]twelve cubits long by twelve wide, (AE)square in its four sides. 17 The ledge shall be [w]fourteen cubits long by fourteen wide in its four sides; the border around it shall be half a cubit, and its base shall be a cubit round about; and its (AF)steps shall [x](AG)face the east.”

18 And He said to me, “(AH)Son of man, thus says Lord Yahweh, ‘These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is made, to offer (AI)burnt offerings on it and to (AJ)splash blood on it. 19 And you shall give to the Levitical priests who are from the seed of (AK)Zadok, who draw (AL)near to Me to minister to Me,’ declares Lord Yahweh, ‘a (AM)bull from the herd for a (AN)sin offering. 20 You shall also take some of its blood and put it on its four (AO)horns and on the four corners of the (AP)ledge and on the border round about; thus you shall (AQ)purify it and make atonement for it. 21 And you shall take the bull for the sin offering, and it shall be (AR)burned in the appointed place of the house, outside the sanctuary.

22 ‘Now on the second day you shall bring near a (AS)male goat without blemish for a sin offering, and they shall (AT)purify the altar as they purified it with the bull. 23 When you have finished purifying it, you shall present a (AU)bull from the herd without blemish and a (AV)ram without blemish from the flock. 24 And you shall bring them near before Yahweh, and the priests shall throw (AW)salt on them, and they shall offer them up as a burnt offering to Yahweh. 25 (AX)For seven days you shall offer daily a goat for a sin offering; also a bull from the herd and a ram from the flock, without blemish, shall be offered. 26 For seven days they shall make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they [y]ordain it. 27 So they will complete the days. And it shall be that on the (AY)eighth day and onward, the priests shall [z]offer on the altar your burnt offerings and your (AZ)peace offerings; and I will (BA)accept you,’ declares Lord Yahweh.”

Ezekiel 43
King James Version

43 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:

2 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.

3 And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.

4 And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.

5 So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house.

6 And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.

7 And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.

8 In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger.

9 Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.

10 Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.

11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.

12 This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

13 And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place of the altar.

14 And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower settle shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle even to the greater settle shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit.

15 So the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and upward shall be four horns.

16 And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof.

17 And the settle shall be fourteen cubits long and fourteen broad in the four squares thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit about; and his stairs shall look toward the east.

18 And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord God; 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.

19 And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord God, a young bullock for a sin offering.

20 And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.

21 Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.

22 And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bullock.

23 When thou hast made an end of cleansing it, thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.

24 And thou shalt offer them before the Lord, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the Lord.

25 Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.

26 Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.

27 And when these days are expired, it shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord God.

God’s Glory Returns to the Temple

43 Then the man brought me to the gate facing east,(A) 2 and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of rushing waters,(B) and the land was radiant with his glory.(C) 3 The vision I saw was like the vision I had seen when he[a] came to destroy the city and like the visions I had seen by the Kebar River, and I fell facedown. 4 The glory(D) of the Lord entered the temple through the gate facing east.(E) 5 Then the Spirit(F) lifted me up(G) and brought me into the inner court, and the glory(H) of the Lord filled the temple.(I)

6 While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the temple. 7 He said: “Son of man, this is the place of my throne(J) and the place for the soles of my feet. This is where I will live among the Israelites forever. The people of Israel will never again defile(K) my holy name—neither they nor their kings—by their prostitution and the funeral offerings[b] for their kings at their death.[c](L) 8 When they placed their threshold next to my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall between me and them, they defiled my holy name by their detestable practices. So I destroyed them in my anger. 9 Now let them put away from me their prostitution and the funeral offerings for their kings, and I will live among them forever.(M)

10 “Son of man, describe the temple to the people of Israel, that they may be ashamed(N) of their sins. Let them consider its perfection, 11 and 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[d] and laws. Write these down before them so that they may be faithful to its design and follow all its regulations.(O)

12 “This is the law of the temple: All the surrounding area(P) on top of the mountain will be most holy.(Q) Such is the law of the temple.

The Great Altar Restored

13 “These are the measurements of the altar(R) in long cubits,[e] that cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth: Its gutter is a cubit deep and a cubit wide, with a rim of one span[f] around the edge. And this is the height of the altar: 14 From the gutter on the ground up to the lower ledge that goes around the altar it is two cubits high, and the ledge is a cubit wide.[g] From this lower ledge to the upper ledge that goes around the altar it is four cubits high, and that ledge is also a cubit wide.[h] 15 Above that, the altar hearth(S) is four cubits high, and four horns(T) project upward from the hearth. 16 The altar hearth is square, twelve cubits[i] long and twelve cubits wide.(U) 17 The upper ledge(V) also is square, fourteen cubits[j] long and fourteen cubits wide. All around the altar is a gutter of one cubit with a rim of half a cubit.[k] The steps(W) of the altar face east.(X)”

18 Then he said to me, “Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: These will be the regulations for sacrificing burnt offerings(Y) and splashing blood(Z) against the altar when it is built: 19 You are to give a young bull(AA) as a sin offering[l] to the Levitical priests of the family of Zadok,(AB) who come near(AC) to minister before me, declares the Sovereign Lord. 20 You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar(AD) and on the four corners of the upper ledge(AE) and all around the rim, and so purify the altar(AF) and make atonement for it. 21 You are to take the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the designated part of the temple area outside the sanctuary.(AG)

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. 23 When you have finished purifying it, you are to offer a young bull and a ram from the flock, both without defect.(AH) 24 You are to offer them before the Lord, and the priests are to sprinkle salt(AI) on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the Lord.

25 “For seven days(AJ) 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.(AK) 26 For seven days they are to make atonement for the altar and cleanse it; thus they will dedicate it. 27 At the end of these days, from the eighth day(AL) on, the priests are to present your burnt offerings(AM) and fellowship offerings(AN) on the altar. Then I will accept you, declares the Sovereign Lord.”

New King James Version

The Temple, the Lord’s Dwelling Place

43 Afterward he brought me to the gate, the gate (A)that faces toward the east. 2 (B)And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. (C)His voice was like the sound of many waters; (D)and the earth shone with His glory. 3 It was (E)like the appearance of the vision which I saw—like the vision which I saw when [a]I came (F)to destroy the city. The visions were like the vision which I saw (G)by the River Chebar; and I fell on my face. 4 (H)And the glory of the Lord came into the [b]temple by way of the gate which faces toward the east. 5 (I)The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, (J)the glory of the Lord filled the [c]temple.

6 Then I heard Him speaking to me from the temple, while (K)a man stood beside me. 7 And He said to me, “Son of man, this is (L)the place of My throne and (M)the place of the soles of My feet, (N)where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. (O)No more shall the house of Israel defile My holy name, they nor their kings, by their [d]harlotry or with (P)the carcasses of their kings on their high places. 8 (Q)When they set their threshold by My threshold, and their doorpost by My doorpost, with a wall between them and Me, they defiled My holy name by the abominations which they committed; therefore I have consumed them in My anger. 9 Now let them put their harlotry and the carcasses of their kings far away from Me, and I will dwell in their midst forever.

10 “Son of man, (R)describe the [e]temple to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern. 11 And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of the [f]temple and its arrangement, its exits and its entrances, its entire design and all its (S)ordinances, all its forms and all its laws. Write it down in their sight, so that they may keep its whole design and all its ordinances, and (T)perform them. 12 This is the law of the [g]temple: The whole area surrounding (U)the mountaintop is most holy. Behold, this is the law of the temple.

Dimensions of the Altar

13 “These are the measurements of the (V)altar in cubits (W)(the [h]cubit is one cubit and a handbreadth): the base one cubit high and one cubit wide, with a rim all around its edge of one span. This is the height of the altar: 14 from the base on the ground to the lower ledge, two cubits; the width of the ledge, one cubit; from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge, four cubits; and the width of the ledge, one cubit. 15 The altar hearth is four cubits high, with four (X)horns extending upward from the [i]hearth. 16 The altar hearth is twelve cubits long, twelve wide, (Y)square at its four corners; 17 the ledge, fourteen cubits long and fourteen wide on its four sides, with a rim of half a cubit around it; its base, one cubit all around; and (Z)its steps face toward the east.”

Consecrating the Altar

18 And He said to me, “Son of man, thus says the Lord God: ‘These are the ordinances for the altar on the day when it is made, for sacrificing (AA)burnt offerings on it, and for (AB)sprinkling blood on it. 19 You shall give (AC)a young bull for a sin offering to (AD)the priests, the Levites, who are of the seed of (AE)Zadok, who approach Me to minister to Me,’ says the Lord God. 20 ‘You shall take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge, and on the rim around it; thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it. 21 Then you shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and (AF)burn it in the appointed place of the [j]temple, (AG)outside the sanctuary. 22 On the second day you shall offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull. 23 When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram from the flock without blemish. 24 When you offer them before the Lord, (AH)the priests shall throw salt on them, and they will offer them up as a burnt offering to the Lord. 25 Every day for (AI)seven days you shall prepare a goat for a sin offering; they shall also prepare a young bull and a ram from the flock, both without blemish. 26 Seven days they shall make atonement for the altar and purify it, and so [k]consecrate [l]it. 27 (AJ)When these days are over it shall be, on the eighth day and thereafter, that the priests shall offer your burnt offerings and your peace offerings on the altar; and I will (AK)accept you,’ says the Lord God.”
