Ezekiel 43

Gen Z: Ezekiel 43

1Then he took me to the gate, the one that faces east, vibes check.

2And boom, the glory of the God of Israel pulled up from the east, sounding like a waterfall, and the earth was lit with His glory.

3It matched the vision I saw when I came to wreck the city, kinda like the vision by the river Chebar; I was shook and fell flat.

4The Lord's glory came into the crib through the east gate, straight up.

5The spirit lifted me and brought me into the inner court; and wow, the Lord's glory filled the place, no cap.

6I heard Him talking to me from the house; a dude was standing next to me, rizz on point.

7He said, "Yo, Son of man, this is where my throne is, where I’ll chill with the kids of Israel forever, and my holy name ain't gonna be dissed by their mess-ups or their kings' drama."

8They set their threshold by mine and their posts by mine, and the wall between us is sus; they defiled my holy name with their wild stuff, so I had to bring the heat.

9Now they need to ditch their mess and their kings' drama, keep it far from me, and I’ll vibe with them forever.

10You, Son of man, show the house to the house of Israel so they can feel that shame for their wrongs; let them check the blueprint.

11If 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.

12This is the house rule: the top of the mountain is straight holy vibes. For real, this is the house law.

13Here 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.

14From 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.

15So the altar is four cubits high, and it’s got four horns popping off at the top.

16The altar is twelve cubits long and broad, keeping it square all around.

17The settle is fourteen cubits long and wide, with a half cubit border; the base is a cubit all around, and the stairs face east.

18Then God said 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."

19You gotta give 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.

20Take 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.

21Yo, take that bull for the sin offering and burn it in the spot we picked, outside the sanctuary. No cap.

22On day two, bring a perfect goat for that sin offering; clean the altar just like you did with the bull. Vibes.

23After you’re done cleaning, offer a flawless young bull and a ram from the flock, both looking fresh.

24Bring them before the Lord, and the priests gotta sprinkle salt on them, then it's a burnt offering for the Lord. Bet.

25For seven days, prep a goat daily for the sin offering; also bring a young bull and a ram, all flawless. Periodt.

26For seven days, they gotta clean the altar and make it pure; they need to get themselves right too. Lit.

27Once those days are up, 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.

KJV: Ezekiel 43

1Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:

2And, 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.

3And 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.

4And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.

5So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house.

6And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.

7And 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.

8In 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.

9Now 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.

10Thou 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.

11And 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.

12This 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.

13And 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.

14And 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.

15So the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and upward shall be four horns.

16And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof.

17And 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.

18And 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.

19And 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.

20And 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.

21Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.

22And 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.

23When 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.

24And 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.

25Seven 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.

26Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.

27And 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.
