Ezekiel 43:11-13
Holman Christian Standard Bible
11 and they will be ashamed of all that they have done. Reveal[a] the design of the temple to them—its layout with its exits and entrances(A)—its complete design along with all its statutes, design specifications, and laws. Write it down in their sight(B) so that they may observe its complete design and all its statutes and may carry them out.(C) 12 This is the law of the temple: all its surrounding territory on top of the mountain(D) will be especially holy. Yes, this is the law of the temple.
The Altar
