Ezekiel 43:12-14
New Living Translation
12 And this is the basic law of the Temple: absolute holiness! The entire top of the mountain where the Temple is built is holy. Yes, this is the basic law of the Temple.
The Altar
13 “These are the measurements of the altar[a]: There is a gutter all around the altar 21 inches deep and 21 inches wide,[b] with a curb 9 inches[c] wide around its edge. And this is the height[d] of the altar: 14 From the gutter the altar rises 3 1⁄2 feet[e] to a lower ledge that surrounds the altar and is 21 inches[f] wide. From the lower ledge the altar rises 7 feet[g] to the upper ledge that is also 21 inches wide.
