The Altar of Sacrifice

13 "And these are the measurements of the 27altar by cubits (the 28cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth ): the nbase shall be a cubit and the width a cubit, and its border on its edge round about one span ; and this shall be the height of the obase of the altar. 14 "From the base on the ground to the lower 29ledge shall be two cubits and the width one cubit ; and from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge shall be four cubits and the width pone cubit. 15 "The qaltar hearth shall be four cubits ; and from the raltar hearth shall extend upwards four 30horns. 16 "Now the saltar hearth shall be twelve cubits long by twelve wide, 31square in its four sides. 17 "The ledge shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen wide in its four sides, the border around it shall be half a cubit and its base shall be a cubit round about ; and its 32steps shall t33face the east."

The Offerings

18 And He said to me, "34Son of man, thus says the Lord uGOD, 'These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is built, to offer 35burnt offerings on it and to 36sprinkle blood on it. 19 'You shall give to the Levitical priests who are from the offspring of 37Zadok, who draw 38near to Me to minister to Me,' declares the Lord GOD, 'a 39young bull for a 40sin offering. 20 'You shall take some of its blood and put it on its four 41horns and on the four corners of the 42ledge and on the border round about ; thus you shall 43cleanse it and make atonement for it. 21 'You shall also take the bull for the sin offering, and it shall be 44burned in the appointed place of the house, outside the sanctuary. 22 'On the second day you shall offer a 45male goat without blemish for a sin offering, and they shall 46cleanse the altar as they cleansed it with the bull. 23 'When you have finished cleansing it, you shall present a 47young bull without blemish and a 48ram without blemish from the flock. 24 'You shall present them before the LORD, and the priests shall throw 49salt on them, and they shall offer them up as a burnt offering to the LORD. 25 '50For seven days you shall prepare daily a goat for a sin offering ; also a young bull and a ram from the flock, without blemish, shall be prepared. 26 'For seven days they shall make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they vconsecrate it. 27 'When they have completed the days, it shall be that on the 51eighth day and onward, the priests shall woffer your burnt offerings on the altar, and your 52peace offerings ; and I will 53accept you,' declares the Lord GOD."
