1 ثم ذهب بي الى الباب. الباب المتجه نحو الشرق.2 واذا بمجد اله اسرائيل جاء من طريق الشرق وصوته كصوت مياه كثيرة والارض اضاءت من مجده.3 والمنظر كالمنظر الذي رأيته كالمنظر الذي رأيته لما جئت لأخرب المدينة والمناظر كالمنظر الذي رايت عند نهر خابور فخررت على وجهي.4 فجاء مجد الرب الى البيت من طريق الباب المتجه نحو الشرق.5 فحملني روح وأتى بي الى الدار الداخلية واذا بمجد الرب قد ملأ البيت.6 وسمعته يكلمني من البيت. وكان رجل واقفا عندي7 وقال لي يا ابن آدم هذا مكان كرسيي ومكان باطن قدميّ حيث اسكن في وسط بني اسرائيل الى الابد ولا ينجس بعد بيت اسرائيل اسمي القدوس لا هم ولا ملوكهم لا بزناهم ولا بجثث ملوكهم في مرتفعاتهم.8 بجعلهم عتبتهم لدى عتبتي وقوائمهم لدى قوائمي وبيني وبينهم حائط فنجسوا اسمي القدوس برجاساتهم التي فعلوها فافنيتهم بغضبي.9 فليبعدوا عني الآن زناهم وجثث ملوكهم فاسكن في وسطهم الى الابد10 وانت يا ابن آدم فاخبر بيت اسرائيل عن البيت ليخزوا من آثامهم. وليقيسوا الرسم.11 فان خزوا من كل ما فعلوه فعرفهم صورة البيت ورسمه ومخارجه ومداخله وكل اشكاله وكل فرائضه وكل اشكاله وكل شرائعه واكتب ذلك قدام اعينهم ليحفظوا كل رسومه وكل فرائضه ويعملوا بها.12 هذه سنّة البيت. على راس الجبل كل تخمه حواليه قدس اقداس. هذه هي سنّة البيت13 وهذه اقيسة المذبح بالاذرع. والذراع هي ذراع وفتر. الحضن ذراع والعرض ذراع وحاشيته الى شفته حواليه شبر واحد. هذا ظهر المذبح.14 ومن الحضن عند الارض الى الخصم الاسفل ذراعان والعرض ذراع ومن الخصم الاصغر الى الخصم الاكبر اربع اذرع والعرض ذراع.15 والموقد اربع اذرع ومن الموقد الى فوق اربعة قرون.16 والموقد اثنتا عشرة طولا باثنتي عشرة عرضا مربعا على جوانبه الاربعة.17 والخصم اربع عشرة طولا باربع عشرة عرضا على جوانبه الاربعة. والحاشية حواليه نصف ذراع وحضنه ذراع حواليه ودرجاته تجاه المشرق18 وقال لي يا ابن آدم هكذا قال السيد الرب. هذه فرائض المذبح يوم صنعه لاصعاد المحرقة عليه ولرش الدم عليه.19 فتعطي الكهنة اللاويين الذين من نسل صادوق المقتربين اليّ ليخدموني يقول السيد الرب ثورا من البقر لذبيحة خطية.20 وتأخذ من دمه وتضعه على قرونه الاربعة وعلى اربع زوايا الخصم وعلى الحاشية حواليها فتطهّره وتكفر عنه.21 وتأخذ ثور الخطية فيحرق في الموضع المعيّن من البيت خارج المقدس.22 وفي اليوم الثاني تقرب تيسا من المعز صحيحا ذبيحة خطية فيطهّرون المذبح كما طهّروه بالثور.23 واذا اكملت التطهير تقرب ثورا من البقر صحيحا وكبشا من الضأن صحيحا.24 وتقربهما قدام الرب ويلقي عليهما الكهنة ملحا ويصعدونهما محرقة للرب.25 سبعة ايام تعمل في كل يوم تيس الخطية ويعملون ثورا من البقر وكبشا من الضأن صحيحين.26 سبعة ايام يكفرون عن المذبح ويطهّرونه ويملأون يده.27 فاذا تمت هذه الايام يكون في اليوم الثامن فصاعدا ان الكهنة يعملون على المذبح محرقاتكم وذبائحكم السلامية فارضى عنكم يقول السيد الرب

1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks 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 on 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 to me out of the house; and the man stood by me.7 And he said to me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the middle 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 prostitution, nor by the carcasses 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: why I have consumed them in my anger.9 Now let them put away their prostitution, and the carcasses of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the middle of them for ever.10 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.11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, show 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; On 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 on 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 to me, Son of man, thus said 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 you shall give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach to me, to minister to me, said the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin offering.20 And you shall take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and on the border round about: thus shall you cleanse and purge it.21 You shall 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 you shall 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 you have made an end of cleansing it, you shall offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.24 And you shall offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to the LORD.25 Seven days shall you 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 on the eighth day, and so forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, said the Lord GOD.
