Ezekiel 43:10-17

New International Version

¹⁰ “Son of man, describe the temple to the people of Israel, that they may be ashamed^(A) of their sins. Let them consider its perfection, ¹¹ 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^[a] and laws. Write these down before them so that they may be faithful to its design and follow all its regulations.^(B)

¹² “This is the law of the temple: All the surrounding area^(C) on top of the mountain will be most holy.^(D) Such is the law of the temple.

The Great Altar Restored

¹³ “These are the measurements of the altar^(E) in long cubits,^[b] that cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth: Its gutter is a cubit deep and a cubit wide, with a rim of one span^[c] around the edge. And this is the height of the altar: ¹⁴ 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.^[d] 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.^{[e] 15} Above that, the altar hearth^(F) is four cubits high, and four horns^(G) project upward from the hearth. ¹⁶ The altar hearth is square, twelve cubits^[f] long and twelve cubits wide.^{(H) 17} The upper ledge^(I) also is square, fourteen cubits^[g] long and fourteen cubits wide. All around the altar is a gutter of one cubit with a rim of half a cubit.^[h] The steps^(J) of the altar face east.^(K)”
