   One huge temple!   
      
   Ezekiel 43   
      
   God's Glory Returns to the Temple   
      
   1 (Eze 42:15; 44:1) Afterward he brought me to the gate, the gate facing east.   
   2 (Eze 11:23; Rev 1:15) And 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   
   shone with His glory.   
   3 (Eze 9:1; 9:5) It was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw,   
   even according to the vision that I saw, when He came to destroy the city.   
   And the visions were like the vision that I saw by the River Kebar.   
   And I fell upon my face.   
   4 (Eze 44:2) The glory of the Lord came into the temple   
   by the way of the gate facing east.   
   5 (Eze 8:3; 11:24) So the Spirit took me up and brought me   
   into the inner court. And the glory of the Lord filled the temple.   
   6 (Eze 40:3) Then I heard one speaking to me out of the temple. And a man   
   stood by me.   
   7 (Lev 26:30; Eze 43:9) He said to me: Son of man, this is the place   
   of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell   
   in the midst of the sons of Israel forever. And My holy name shall   
   the house of Israel defile no more, nor they nor their kings   
   by their harlotry, nor by the corpses of their kings when they die.   
   8 By setting their threshold by My threshold 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.   
   Therefore I have consumed them in My anger.   
   9 (Eze 43:7; 37:26-28; 18:30-31) Now let them put away their harlotry   
   and the corpses of their kings far from Me, and I will dwell   
   in their midst forever.   
   10 (Eze 16:61; 40:4) As for you, son of man, describe the temple   
   to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities.   
   And let them measure the pattern.   
   11 (Eze 11:20; 36:27) If they are ashamed of all that they have done,   
   show them the design of the temple and its fashion and exits   
   and its entrances and all its forms and all its ordinances   
   and all its laws. And write it in their sight so that they may keep   
   its whole form and all its ordinances and do them.   
   12 (Eze 40:2; 42:20) This is the law of the temple: The whole territory   
   on the top of the mountain all around shall be most holy.   
   This is the law of the temple.   
      
   The Altar Restored   
      
   13 (Ex 27:1-8; 2Ch 4:1) These are the measurements of the altar by cubits   
   [About 21 inches, or 53 centimeters; and in vv. 14 and 17.]   
   (the cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth): The base shall be a cubit,   
   and the width a cubit, and its border by its edge all around shall be a span.   
   [About 11 inches, or 27 centimeters.]   
   And this shall be the height of the altar:   
   14 From the bottom on the ground even to the lower ledge shall be two cubits,   
   and the width one cubit. [About 3 1/2 feet high and 13/4 feet wide,   
   or 105 centimeters high and 53 centimeters wide.]   
   And from the lesser ledge even to the greater ledge shall be four cubits,   
   and the width one cubit.[Likely about 6 pounds, or 2.7 kilograms.]   
   15 (Ex 27:2; Lev 9:9) So the altar shall be four cubits. And from the altar   
   and upward shall be four horns.   
   16 (Ex 27:1) The altar hearth shall be twelve cubits long by twelve wide,   
   [About 21 feet, or 6.4 meters.] square in its four corners.   
   17 (Ex 20:26; Eze 40:6) The ledge shall be fourteen cubits   
   [About 25 feet, or 7.4 meters.] long and fourteen wide in the four squares.   
   And the border about it shall be half a cubit.   
   [About 11 inches, or 27 centimeters.] And its bottom shall be a cubit   
   all around. And its stairs shall face east.   
   18 (Ex 40:29) He said to me: Son of man, thus says the Lord God:   
   These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it   
   to offer burnt offerings on it and to sprinkle blood on it.   
   19 (Eze 40:46; 44:15) You shall give to the priests the Levites that are   
   of the seed of Zadok who approach Me to minister to Me, says the Lord God,   
   a young bull as a sin offering.   
   20 (Lev 8:15; 16:19) You shall take of its blood and put it on its four horns,   
   and on the four corners of the ledge and on the rim all around.   
   Thus you shall cleanse and purge it.   
   21 (Ex 29:14; Lev 4:12) You shall take the bull also of the sin offering,   
   and it shall be burned in the appointed place of the temple,   
   outside the sanctuary.   
   22 (Eze 43:20; 43:25-26) On the second day you shall offer a male goat   
   without blemish as a sin offering. And they shall cleanse the altar   
   as they cleansed it with the bull.   
   23 (Ex 29:1) When you have made an end of cleansing it, you shall offer   
   a young bull without blemish and a ram out of the flock without blemish.   
   24 (Lev 2:13; Mk 9:49-50) You shall offer them before the Lord,   
   and the priests shall cast salt on them,   
   and they shall offer them up as a burnt offering to the Lord.   
   25 (Lev 8:33; Ex 29:35-37) For seven days you shall prepare every day   
   a goat as a sin offering. They shall also prepare a young bull   
   and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.   
   26 For seven days they shall purge the altar and purify it.   
   So they shall consecrate it.   
   27 (Lev 9:1) When they have completed the days, it shall be that   
   on the eighth day and forward, the priests shall present   
   your burnt offerings and your peace offerings upon the altar.   
   And I will accept you, says the Lord God.   
      
   Ezekiel 43   
   [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
