Ezekiel Chapter 43
So he rolled me to the gate, the one that looks east, vibes check.
Afterward he brought me to the gate, {even} the gate that looketh toward the east:
And outta nowhere, the glory of the God of Israel cruised in from the east, sounding like a waterfall, and the earth was all lit up with His glory.
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.
It was just like the vision I had when I came to wreck the city, kinda similar to the vision by the river Chebar; I was shook and hit the ground.
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. {when...: or, when I came to prophesy that the city should be destroyed}
God's glory entered the crib through the east gate, straight up.
And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect {is} toward the east.
The spirit lifted me and took me to the inner court; and wow, the Lord's glory filled that spot, no cap.
So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
I could hear Him addressing me from the house; a dude was standing next to me, rizz on point.
And I heard {him} speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.
He was like, "Yo, Son of man, this is where my throne vibes, where I’ll chill with the kids of Israel forever, and my holy name ain't gonna get dissed by their mess-ups or their kings' drama."
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.
They placed their threshold beside mine and their posts next to mine, and the wall between us is sus; they messed up my holy name with their wild stuff, so I had to bring the heat.
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 name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger. {and the...: or, for there was but a wall between me and them}
Now they gotta ditch their mess and the kings' drama, keep it far from me, and I’ll vibe with them forever.
Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
You, Son of man, show the house to the house of Israel so they can feel that shame for their wrongs; let them peep the blueprint.
Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern. {pattern: or, sum, or, number}
If they feel kinda sus about what they did, show them the house layout and all the rules, so they can keep it 100 and follow the vibes.
And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write {it} in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.
This is the house law: the top of the mountain is straight holy vibes. For real, this is the house code.
This {is} the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about {shall be} most holy. Behold, this {is} the law of the house.
Here are the altar dimensions: a cubit is a cubit, plus a handbreadth; the base is a cubit, and the border is a span. This is where the altar gets lit.
And these {are} the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit {is} a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom {shall be} a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about {shall be} a span: and this {shall be} the higher place of the altar. {bottom: Heb. bosom} {edge: Heb. lip}
From the ground to the lower part, it’s two cubits tall and one cubit wide; from the smaller part to the bigger part, it’s four cubits, and still one cubit wide.
And from the bottom {upon} the ground {even} to the lower settle {shall be} two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle {even} to the greater settle {shall be} four cubits, and the breadth {one} cubit.
So the altar is four cubits high, and it’s got four horns popping off at the top.
So the altar {shall be} four cubits; and from the altar and upward {shall be} four horns. {the altar (first): Heb. Harel, that is, the mountain of God} {the altar (second): Heb. Ariel, that is, the lion of God}
The altar measures twelve cubits long and wide, keeping it square all around.
And the altar {shall be} twelve {cubits} long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof.
The settle is fourteen cubits long and wide, with a half cubit border; the base is a cubit all around, and the stairs face east.
And the settle {shall be} fourteen {cubits} long and fourteen broad in the four squares thereof; and the border about it {shall be} half a cubit; and the bottom thereof {shall be} a cubit about; and his stairs shall look toward the east.
Then God was like to me, "Yo, Son of man, here’s what the Lord says; these are the altar rules for when they make it to offer burnt offerings and sprinkle blood."
And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; These {are} the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.
You gotta bring a young bull to the priests, the Levites from Zadok's crew, who roll up to serve me, says the Lord God, as a sin offering.
And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin offering.
Take the blood and put it on the four horns, the four corners, and the border all around: this is how you cleanse and purge it, no cap.
And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put {it} on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.
Yo, take that bull for the sin offering and burn it in the spot we picked, outside the sanctuary. No cap.
Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.
On day two, bring a perfect goat for that sin offering; clean the altar just like you did with the bull. Vibes.
And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse {it} with the bullock.
After you’re done cleaning, offer a flawless young bull and a ram from the flock, both looking fresh.
When thou hast made an end of cleansing {it}, thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
Bring them before the Lord, and the priests gotta sprinkle salt on them, then it's a burnt offering for the Lord. Bet.
And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up {for} a burnt offering unto the LORD.
For seven days, prep a goat daily for the sin offering; also bring a young bull and a ram, all flawless. Periodt.
Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat {for} a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.
For seven days, they gotta clean the altar and make it pure; they need to get themselves right too. Lit.
Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves. {consecrate...: Heb. fill their hands}
Once those days are wrapped, on the eighth day and beyond, the priests will handle your burnt and peace offerings, and I’ll vibe with you, says the Lord God.
And when these days are expired, it shall be, {that} upon the eighth day, and {so} forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD. {peace...: or, thank offerings}
