kindle fires, and burn up the weapons—the bucklers and shields, the bows and arrows, the clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel.
So that they
shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they
shall burn the weapons with fire: and they
shall spoil those that
spoiled them, and
rob those that
robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.

countryside or cut it from the forests, for they will use the weapons for fuel. They will
loot those who
looted them and
plunder those who
plundered them, declares the Lord GOD.

shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto
Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it
shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there
shall they
bury Gog and all his multitude: and they
shall call it The valley of
Hamon-
gog.
And on that day I will give

bury them, and it will bring them
renown on the day I display My glory, declares the Lord GOD.
And they
shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to
bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to
cleanse it: after the end of seven months
shall they search.
And men will be employed to continually pass through the land to
cleanse it by
burying the invaders who remain on the ground. At the end of the seven months they will begin their search.

anyone who sees a human bone will set up a
pillar next to it, until the gravediggers have buried it in the Valley of

fattened animals of
Bashan.
And ye
shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be
drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
At the sacrifice I am preparing, you will eat fat until you are
gorged and drink blood until you are
drunk.

From that day forward the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God.
And the heathen
shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they
trespassed against me, therefore
hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
And the nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile for their iniquity, because they were unfaithful to Me. So I
hid My face from them and delivered them into the hands of their enemies, so that they all fell by the sword.
Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
Then they will know that I am the LORD their God, when I regather them to their own land, not leaving any of them behind after their exile among the nations.
And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I
shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might
shew them unto thee art thou brought
hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.
“Son of man,” he said to me, “look with your eyes, hear with your ears, and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for that is why you have been brought here. Report to the house of Israel everything you see.”
Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they be holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the LORD
shall eat the most holy things: there
shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the
trespass offering; for the place is holy.
Then the man said to me, “The north and south chambers facing the temple
courtyard are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the LORD will eat the most holy offerings. There they will place the most holy offerings—the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings—for the place is holy.
When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the utter court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to those things which are for the people.
Once the priests have entered the holy area, they must not go out into the outer court until they have left behind the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they approach the places that are for the people.”
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.
and He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place for the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the Israelites
forever. The house of Israel will never again
defile My holy name—neither they nor their kings—by their
prostitution and by the funeral offerings for their kings at their deaths.

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.
These are the measurements of the altar in long cubits (a
cubit and a
handbreadth): Its
gutter shall be a
cubit deep and a
cubit wide, with a
rim of one span around its edge. And this is the height of the altar:
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.
The space from the
gutter on the ground to the lower
ledge shall be two cubits, and the
ledge one
cubit wide. The space from the smaller
ledge to the larger
ledge shall be four cubits, and the
ledge one
cubit wide.
So the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and upward shall be four horns.
The altar
hearth shall be four cubits high, and four horns
shall project upward from the
hearth.
And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof.
The altar
hearth shall be square at its four corners, twelve cubits long and twelve cubits wide.
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.
The
ledge shall also be square, fourteen cubits long and fourteen cubits wide, with a
rim of half a
cubit and a
gutter of a
cubit all around it. The steps of the altar
shall face east.”
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.
Then He said to me: “Son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is constructed, so that burnt offerings may be sacrificed on it and blood may be
sprinkled on it:
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.
You are to give a young bull from the
herd as a sin offering to the
Levitical priests who are of the family of
Zadok, who approach Me to minister before Me, declares the Lord GOD.
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.
You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the
ledge, and all around the
rim; thus you will
cleanse the altar and make
atonement for it.
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.
Then you are to take away the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the appointed part of the temple area outside the sanctuary.
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.
On the second day you are to present an
unblemished male goat as a sin offering, and the altar is to be
cleansed as it was with the bull.
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.
You must present them before the LORD; the priests are to
sprinkle salt on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the LORD.
