CHAP. XLIII.2 He seeth the glorie of God going into the Temple, from
whence it had before departed. 7 He mentioneth the idolatrie
of the children of Israel, for the which they were consumed
and brought to nought. 9 He is commaunded to call
them againe to repentance.
1Afterwarde he brought me to the gate, euen
the gate that turneth towarde the East.
2 And beholde, the glorie of the God of Israel
came from out of the East, whose voyce was
like a noyse of great waters, and the earth was
made light with his glorie.
3 And the vision which I saw was note like the
vision, euen as the vision that I sawe note when I
came to destroy the citie: and the visions were
like the vision that I sawe by the riuer Chebar:
and I fell vpon my face.
4 And the note glorie of the Lorde came into
the house by the way of the gate, whose prospect
is towarde the East.
5 So the Spirite tooke me vp and brought
me into the inner court, and beholde, the glorie
of the Lorde filled the house.
6 And I heard one speaking vnto me out of
the house: and there stoode a man by me,
The Altar described.
7 Which saide vnto me, Sonne of man, this
place is my throne, & the place of the soles of my
feete, whereas I will dwell among the children of
Israel for euer, & the house of Israel shal no more
note defile mine holy Name, neither they, nor their
Kings by their fornication, nor by the carkeises
of note their Kings in their high places.
8 Albeit they set their thresholdes by my
thresholdes, and their postes by my postes (for
there was but a wall betweene me and them) yet
haue they defiled mine holy Name with their
abominations, that they haue committed: wherfore
I haue consumed them in my wrath.
9 Now therefore let them put away their fornication,
and the carkeises of their Kings farre
from me, and I will dwell among them for euer.
10 ¶2; Thou sonne of man, shew this House to
the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of
their wickednes, & let them measure þe; paterne.
11 And if they be ashamed of all that they
haue done, shew them the forme of the House, &
þe; paterne thereof, & the going out thereof, & the
c&obar;ming in thereof, & the whole fashion thereof,
and all the ordinances thereof, and all the figures
thereof, and all the lawes thereof: & write it in
their sight, that they may keepe the whole fashi&obar;
thereof, & all the ordinances thereof, & do them.
12 This is the note description of the house, It
shalbe vpon the toppe of the mount: all the limites
thereof round about shalbe most holy. Beholde,
this is the description of the house.

13 And these are the measures of the Altar,
after the cubites, the cubite is a cubite, & an h&abar;d
breadth, euen the bottome shalbe a cubite, and
the breadth a cubite, and the border thereof by
the edge thereof rounde about shalbe a spanne:
and this shalbe the height of the altar.
14 And from the bottome which toucheth the
ground to the lower piece shalbe two cubites: and
the breadth one cubite, and from the litle piece
to the great piece shalbe foure cubites, and the
breadth one cubite.
15 So the altar shalbe foure cubites, and from
the altar vpward shalbe foure hornes.
16 And the altar shalbe twelue cubites long,
and twelue broade, and fouresquare in the foure
corners thereof.
17 And þe; frame shalbe foureteene cubites l&obar;g,
and fourteene broade in the fouresquare corners
thereof, & the border about it shalbe halfe a cubite,
& the bottome therof shalbe a cubite about,
& the steps thereof shalbe turned towarde þe; East.
18 ¶2; And he said vnto me, S&obar;ne of man, thus
saith þe; Lord God, These are þe; ordin&abar;ces of þe; altar
in the day when they shall make it to offer the
burnt offring theron, & to sprinkle blood theron.
19 And thou shalt giue to the Priestes, and to
-- --
The vncircumcised in heart.
the Leuites, that be of the seede of Zadok, which
approch vnto me, to minister vnto me, saith the
Lord God, a yong bullocke for a sinne offring.
20 And thou shalt take of the blood thereof,
& put it on the foure hornes of it, & on the foure
corners of the frame, and vpon the border round
about: thus shalt thou clense it, and reconcile it.
21 Thou shalt take the bullocke also of the
sinne offring, and burne it in the appointed place
of the house without the Sanctuarie.
22 But the second day thou shalt offer an hee
goat &wt;out blemish for a sinne offring, & they shal
clense þe; altar, as they did clense it &wt; the bullocke.
23 When thou hast made an ende of clensing
it, thou shalt offer a yong bullocke without blemish,
& a ram out of the flocke without blemish.
24 And thou shalt offer them before þe; Lord,
and the Priestes shall cast salt vpon them, & they
shall offer them for a burnt offring vnto þe; Lord.
25 Seuen dayes shalt thou prepare euery day
an hee goate for a sinne offring: they shall also
prepare a yong bullocke and a ramme out of the
flocke, without blemish.
26 Thus shall they seuen dayes purifie the altar,
and clense it, and note consecrate it.
27 And when these dayes are expired, vpon
the eight day and so forth, the Priests shall make
your burnt offrings vpon the altar, & your peace
offrings, & I will accept you, saith the Lord God.
