1 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.

1 以后， 他领我到朝东的门去。

2 看哪！ 以色列 神的荣耀从东面而来； 他的声音好像洪水的声音， 大地因他的荣耀而发光。

3 我所见的异象， 好像我在他来毁灭那城的时候所见的异象一样， 又像我在迦巴鲁河边所见的异象一般， 我就俯伏在地上。

4 耶和华的荣耀， 从朝东的门进入殿中。

5 灵把我提起来， 领我进了内院。我看见耶和华的荣耀充满了殿。

6 那人站在我旁边的时候， 我听见主从殿中对我说话。

7 他对我说： "人子啊！ 这是我宝座之地， 是我脚掌所踏之地； 我要住在那里， 在以色列人中间， 直到永远。以色列家和他们的诸王， 都必不再以他们的淫乱和诸王在邱坛上的石碑玷污我的圣名。

8 他们的门槛靠近我的门槛， 他们的门框靠近我的门框， 我与他们只有一墙之隔的时候； 他们以自己所行的可憎之事玷污了我的圣名， 所以我在怒气中灭绝他们。

9 现在他们要从我面前除去淫乱和他们诸王的石碑， 我就住在他们中间， 直到永远。

10 "人子啊！ 你要把这殿指示以色列家， 使他们因自己的罪孽而羞愧， 又要他们量度殿的尺寸。

11 他们若因自己所行的羞愧， 你就要把殿的设计、结构、出入之处， 以及一切设计、规条、礼仪、法则， 都指示他们， 在他们眼前写下来， 使他们遵着殿的一切设计和规条去作。

12 殿的法则是这样： 殿在山顶上周围的界限都是至圣的。这就是殿的法则。

13 "祭坛的尺寸是： 底座高五十公分， 边缘宽五十公分， 四围另有边高二十五公分。这是祭坛的座。

14 从底座到下层的台座， 高一公尺， 边缘宽五十公分； 从小台座到大台座， 高二公尺， 边缘宽五十公分。

15 祭坛的供台高二公尺， 从供台向上突出四个角，

16 供台长六公尺， 宽六公尺， 四面见方。

17 大台座长七公尺， 宽七公尺， 四面见方； 四围有边高二十五公分； 底座四围的边缘宽五十公分。另有台阶朝向东面。"

18 他对我说： "人子啊！ 主耶和华这样说： 祭坛的规条是这样： 做成了祭坛， 在上面献燔祭、洒上血的时候，

19 你要把一头公牛犊给那些亲近我、事奉我的祭司利未人作赎罪祭， 他们是撒督的后裔。这是主耶和华的宣告。

20 你要取些公牛犊的血， 抹在祭坛的四角和台座的四角， 以及四围那些突起的边上。你这样洁净祭坛， 祭坛就洁净了。

21 你又要把那作赎罪祭的公牛犊， 烧在圣所外面， 在圣殿指定的地方。

22 第二天， 你要献一只没有残疾的公山羊作赎罪祭， 为要洁净祭坛， 像用公牛犊洁净祭坛一样。

23 你洁净了祭坛之后， 就要献一头没有残疾的公牛犊和羊群中一只没有残疾的公绵羊。

24 你要在耶和华面前把它们献上， 祭司们要把盐撒在它们身上， 作燔祭献给耶和华。

25 一连七天， 每天你都要预备一头公山羊为赎罪祭， 也要预备一头公牛犊和羊群中的一只公绵羊， 都要没有残疾的。

26 一连七天， 祭司们都要洁净祭坛， 祭坛就洁净了。这样， 他们就把祭坛分别为圣了。

27 满了七天， 从第八天起， 祭司们要在祭坛上献你们的燔祭和平安祭。我那时必悦纳你们； 这是主耶和华的宣告。"
