Ezekiel 43:12

Verse 12 of 27. The 43rd of 48 chapters in Ezekiel, in The Major Prophets.

8in their setting of their threshold by my threshold and their door post beside my door post. There was a wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed. Therefore I have consumed them in my anger.

9Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings far from me. Then I will dwell among them forever.

10“You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.

11If they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, its fashion, its exits, its entrances, its structure, all its ordinances, all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.

12“This is the law of the house. On the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

13“These are the measurements of the altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a hand width): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the width a cubit, and its border around its edge a span; and this shall be the base of the altar.

14From the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the width one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the width a cubit.

15The upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns.

16The altar hearth shall be twelve cubits long by twelve wide, square in its four sides.
