1	Next, he brought me to the east-facing gate,	Then he led me to the gate, the gate facing east.	Then the man brought me to the gate facing east,
2	and the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the east. His voice sounded like roaring water, and the land shimmered from his glory.	And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the east. And the sound of his coming was like the sound of many waters, and the earth shone with his glory.	and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of rushing waters, and the land was radiant with his glory.
3	His appearance in the vision that I was having was similar to what I observed in the vision where he had come to destroy the city, and also like the visions that I saw by the Chebar River. I fell flat on my face	And the vision I saw was just like the vision that I had seen when he came to destroy the city, and just like the vision that I had seen by the Chebar canal. And I fell on my face.	The vision I saw was like the vision I had seen when he came to destroy the city and like the visions I had seen by the Kebar River, and I fell facedown.
4	while the glory of the LORD entered the Temple through the east-facing gate.	As the glory of the LORD entered the temple by the gate facing east,	The glory of the LORD entered the temple through the gate facing east.
5	Just then, the Spirit lifted me up and carried me into the inner courtyard, where the glory of the LORD was filling the Temple!	the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the temple.	Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.
6	I heard someone speaking to me from the Temple, and a man appeared, standing beside me!	While the man was standing beside me, I heard one speaking to me out of the temple,	While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the temple.
7	\|Son of Man,\| the Lord GOD told me, \|This is where my throne is, where I place the soles of my feet, and where I will live among the Israelis forever. The house of Israel will no longer defile my holy name—neither they nor their kings—by their unfaithfulness, by the lifeless idols of their kings on their funeral mounds,	and 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 people of Israel forever. And the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoring and by the dead bodies of their kings at their high places,	He said: “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet. This is where I will live among the Israelites forever. The people of Israel will never again defile my holy name—neither they nor their kings—by their prostitution and the funeral offerings for their kings at their death.
8	by their setting up their threshold too close to my threshold and their door post too close to my door post, with a wall between me and them. After all, they have defiled my holy name by the loathsome things that they did, so I devoured them in my anger.	by setting their threshold by my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall between me and them. They have defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed, so I have consumed them in my anger.	When they placed their threshold next to my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall between me and them, they defiled my holy name by their detestable practices. So I destroyed them in my anger.
9	But now let them send their unfaithfulness—that is, the lifeless idols of their kings—far away from me, and I will live among them forever.\|	Now let them put away their whoring and the dead bodies of their kings far from me, and I will dwell in their midst forever.	Now let them put away from me their prostitution and the funeral offerings for their kings, and I will live among them forever.
10	\|And now, Son of Man, describe the Temple to the house of Israel. They will be ashamed because of their sin. They will measure its pattern.	“As for you, son of man, describe to the house of Israel the temple, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and they shall measure the plan.	“Son of man, describe the temple to the people of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their sins. Let them consider its perfection,
11	If they are ashamed of everything that they've done, you are to reveal to them the design of the Temple, its structure, its exits and entrances, its plans, its ordinances, and all of its regulations. Write it down where they can see it and remember all of its designs and regulations, so they will implement them.	And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of the temple, its arrangement, its exits and its entrances, that is, its whole design; and make known to them as well all its statutes and its whole design and all its laws, and write it down in their sight, so that they may observe all its laws and all its statutes and carry them out.	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 and laws. Write these down before them so that they may be faithful to its design and follow all its regulations.
12	This is to be the regulation for the Temple: the entire area on top of the mountain is to be considered wholly consecrated. This is to be the law of the Temple.\|	This is the law of the temple: the whole territory on the top of the mountain all around shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the temple.	“This is the law of the temple: All the surrounding area on top of the mountain will be most holy. Such is the law of the temple.
13	\|Here are the measurements of the altar in cubits that were a cubit and a handbreadth long: its base is a cubit long and a cubit wide, and its border around the edge at one handbreadth is to be the height of the altar.	“These are the measurements of the altar by cubits (the cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth): its base shall be one cubit high and one cubit broad, with a rim of one span around its edge. And this shall be the height of the altar:	“These are the measurements of the altar in long cubits, that cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth: Its gutter is a cubit deep and a cubit wide, with a rim of one span around the edge. And this is the height of the altar:
14	From the base on the ground to its lower edge is to be two cubits, with its width to be one cubit. From the lesser ledge to the larger edge is to be four cubits. Its width is to be one cubit.	from the base on the ground to the lower ledge, two cubits, with a breadth of one cubit; and from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge, four cubits, with a breadth of one cubit;	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. 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.
15	The hearth is to be four cubits high, and four horns are to extend upwards from the hearth.	and the altar hearth, four cubits; and from the altar hearth projecting upward, four horns.	Above that, the altar hearth is four cubits high, and four horns project upward from the hearth.
16	The hearth is to be twelve cubits long and twelve cubits wide; that is, it will be a four-sided square.	The altar hearth shall be square, twelve cubits long by twelve broad.	The altar hearth is square, twelve cubits long and twelve cubits wide.
17	It is to have a ledge fourteen cubits long by fourteen cubits wide around the four sides. Its border is to be half a cubit and its base is to be a cubit all around, with its steps facing east.\|	The ledge also shall be square, fourteen cubits long by fourteen broad, with a rim around it half a cubit broad, and its base one cubit all around. The steps of the altar shall face east.”	The upper ledge also is square, fourteen cubits long and fourteen cubits wide. All around the altar is a gutter of one cubit with a rim of half a cubit. The steps of the altar face east.”
18	Then he told me, \|This is what the Lord GOD says: 'These are the regulations for the altar, starting the day that it is constructed for presenting burnt offerings and sprinkling blood.	And he said to me, “Son of man, thus says the Lord GOD: These are the ordinances for the altar: On the day when it is erected for offering burnt offerings upon it and for throwing blood against it,	Then he said to me, “Son of man, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: These will be the regulations for sacrificing burnt offerings and splashing blood against the altar when it is built:
19	You are to present to the Levitical priests, Zadok's descendants, who will approach me to serve me, a young bull for a sin offering,' declares the Lord GOD.	you shall give to the Levitical priests of the family of Zadok, who draw near to me to minister to me, declares the Lord GOD, a bull from the herd for a sin offering.	You are to give a young bull as a sin offering to the Levitical priests of the family of Zadok, who come near 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, on the four corners of its ledge, and on the border that surrounds it, thus cleansing it and making an atonement for it.	And you shall take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar and on the four corners of the ledge and upon the rim all around. Thus you shall purify the altar and make atonement for it.	You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar and on the four corners of the upper ledge and all around the rim, and so purify the altar and make atonement for it.
21	You are also to present a bull for a sin offering, incinerating it in the appointed place at the Temple, outside the sanctuary.	You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burned in the appointed place belonging to the temple, outside the sacred area.	You are to take the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the designated part of the temple area outside the sanctuary.
22	The second day following commencement of offerings, you are to offer a male goat without defect for a sin offering to cleanse the altar the same way they cleansed it with the bull.	And on the second day you shall offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering; and the altar shall be purified, as it was purified with the bull.	“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	After you've finished the cleansing, you are to present a young bull without defect and a ram from the flock without defect.	When you have finished purifying it, you shall offer a bull from the herd without blemish and a ram from the flock without blemish.	When you have finished purifying it, you are to offer a young bull and a ram from the flock, both without defect.
24	You are to present them in the LORD's presence, and the priests are to throw salt on them and then present them as a burnt offering to the LORD.	You shall present them before the LORD, and the priests shall sprinkle salt on them and offer them up as a burnt offering to the LORD.	You are to offer them before the LORD, and the priests are to sprinkle salt on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the LORD.
25	Every day for a week, you are to prepare a goat for a sin offering, a young bull, and a ram from the flock, each without defect.	For seven days you shall provide daily a male goat for a sin offering; also, a bull from the herd and a ram from the flock, without blemish, shall be provided.	“For seven days 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.
26	For a seven day period they are to make atonement for the altar, purifying it and consecrating it.	Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and cleanse it, and so consecrate it.	For seven days they are to make atonement for the altar and cleanse it; thus they will dedicate it.
27	When they will have completed this period, starting the next day, the priests are to offer your burnt offerings on the altar, along with your peace offerings, and I will accept you,' declares the Lord GOD.\|	And when they have completed these days, then from the eighth day onward the priests shall offer on the altar your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, and I will accept you, declares the Lord GOD.”	At the end of these days, from the eighth day on, the priests are to present your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar. Then I will accept you, declares the Sovereign LORD.”
