Ezekiel 43:10-27
American Standard Version

10 Thou, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the [a]pattern. 11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known unto them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the egresses thereof, and the entrances 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 by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth): the [b]bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about a span; and this shall be the [c]base of the altar. 14 And from the bottom [d]upon 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. 15 And the [e]upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the [f]altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns. 16 And the altar hearth shall be twelve cubits long by twelve broad, square in the four sides thereof. 17 And the ledge shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen broad in the four sides thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit round about; and the steps thereof shall look toward the east.

18 And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: 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 Thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who are near unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord Jehovah, a young bullock for a sin-offering. 20 And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the ledge, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse it and make atonement for it. 21 Thou shalt also take the bullock of the sin-offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary. 22 And on the second day thou shalt offer a he-goat 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 bring them near before Jehovah, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah. 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 make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they [g]consecrate it. 27 And when they have accomplished the days, it shall be that upon the eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt-offerings upon the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord Jehovah.

Ezekiel 43:10-27
New International Version

10 “Son of man, describe the temple to the people of Israel, that they may be ashamed(A) 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[a] and laws. Write these down before them so that they may be faithful to its design and follow all its regulations.(B)

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

The Great Altar Restored

13 “These are the measurements of the altar(E) in long cubits,[b] that cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth: Its gutter is a cubit deep and a cubit wide, with a rim of one span[c] 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.[d] 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.[e] 15 Above that, the altar hearth(F) is four cubits high, and four horns(G) project upward from the hearth. 16 The altar hearth is square, twelve cubits[f] long and twelve cubits wide.(H) 17 The upper ledge(I) also is square, fourteen cubits[g] long and fourteen cubits wide. All around the altar is a gutter of one cubit with a rim of half a cubit.[h] The steps(J) of the altar face east.(K)”

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(L) and splashing blood(M) against the altar when it is built: 19 You are to give a young bull(N) as a sin offering[i] to the Levitical priests of the family of Zadok,(O) who come near(P) 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(Q) and on the four corners of the upper ledge(R) and all around the rim, and so purify the altar(S) 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.(T)

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.(U) 24 You are to offer them before the Lord, and the priests are to sprinkle salt(V) on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the Lord.

25 “For seven days(W) 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.(X) 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(Y) on, the priests are to present your burnt offerings(Z) and fellowship offerings(AA) on the altar. Then I will accept you, declares the Sovereign Lord.”
