⁷ And He bringeth me in unto an opening of the court, and I look, and lo, a hole in the wall; ⁸ and He saith unto me, `Son of man, dig, I pray thee, through the wall;' and I dig through the wall, and lo, an opening. <sup>9</sup> And He saith to me, `Go in, and see the evil abominations that they are doing here.' ¹⁰ And I go in, and look, and lo, every form of creeping thing, and detestable beast—and all the Idols of the house of Israel—graved on the wall, all round about, ¹¹ and seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel—and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing in their midst—are standing before them, and each his censer in his hand, and the abundance of the cloud of perfume is going up. ¹² And He saith unto me, `Hast thou seen, son of man, that which elders of the house of Israel are doing in darkness, each in the inner chambers of his imagery, for they are saying, Jehovah is not seeing us, Jehovah hath forsaken the land?'
<sup>13</sup> And He saith unto me, `Again thou dost turn, thou dost see great abominations that they are doing.' ¹⁴ And He bringeth me in unto the opening of the gate of the house of Jehovah that is at the north, and lo, there the women are sitting weeping for Tammuz. ¹⁵ And He saith unto me, `Hast thou seen, son of man? again thou dost turn, thou dost see greater abominations than these.' ¹⁶ And He bringeth me in unto the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and lo, at the opening of the temple of Jehovah, between the porch and the altar, about twenty-five men, their backs toward the temple of Jehovah, and their faces eastward, and they are bowing themselves eastward to the sun.

³⁹ And in their slaughtering their sons to their idols They also come in unto My sanctuary in that day to pollute it, And lo, thus they have done in the midst of My house,

⁷ In your bringing in sons of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, to be in My sanctuary, to pollute it, even My house, in your bringing near My bread, fat, and blood, and they break My covenant by all your abominations,

³⁰ Therefore, each according to his ways I judge you, O house of Israel? An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Turn ye back, yea, turn yourselves back, From all your transgressions, And iniquity is not to you for a stumbling-block, ³¹ Cast from off you all your transgressions, By which ye have transgressed, And make to you a new heart, and a new spirit, And why do ye die, O house of Israel?

²³ Nor are they defiled any more with their idols, And with their abominations, And with any of their transgressions, And I have saved them out of all their dwellings, In which they have sinned, And I have cleansed them, And they have been to Me for a people, And I—I am to them for God.

⁷ and He saith unto me: `Son of man, the place of My throne, And the place of the soles of My feet, Where I dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel to the age, Defile no more do the house of Israel My holy name, They, and their kings, by their whoredom, And by the carcases of their kings—their high places.

² Plead ye with your mother—plead, (For she is not My wife, and I am not her husband,) And she turneth her whoredoms from before her, And her adulteries from between her breasts,

⁵ Put to death, then, your members that are upon the earth—whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the covetousness, which is idolatry— ⁶ because of which things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience, ⁷ in which also ye—ye did walk once, when ye lived in them;
⁸ but now put off, even ye, the whole—anger, wrath, malice, evil-speaking, filthy talking—out of your mouth. ⁹ Lie not one to another, having put off the old man with his practices,

⁴⁰ And see thou and do them by their pattern which thou art shewn in the mount.

¹¹ And David giveth to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of its houses, and of its treasures, and of its upper chambers, and of its innermost chambers, and of the house of the atonement;

¹⁹ The whole is in writing from the hand of Jehovah, `He caused me to understand all the work of the pattern,' said David.

⁶¹ And thou hast remembered thy ways, And thou hast been ashamed, In thy receiving thy sisters—Thine elder with thy younger, And I have given them to thee for daughters, And not by thy covenant.

⁶³ So that thou dost remember, And thou hast been ashamed, And there is not to thee any more an opening of the mouth because of thy shame, In My receiving atonement for thee, For all that thou hast done, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'

³¹ In the way of thy sister thou hast walked, And I have given her cup into thy hand. ³² Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The cup of thy sister thou dost drink, The deep and the wide one, (Thou art for laughter and for scorn,) Abundant to contain.

⁴ and the man speaketh unto me: `Son of man, see with thine eyes, And with thine ears hear, And set thy heart to all that I am shewing thee, For, in order to shew it thee, Thou hast been brought in hither, Declare all that thou art seeing to the house of Israel.'

¹¹ And since they have been ashamed of all that they have done, The form of the house, and its measurement, And its outlets, and its inlets, and all its forms, And all its statutes, even all its forms, And all its laws cause them to know, And write it before their eyes, And they observe all its forms, And all its statutes, and have done them.

²¹ what fruit, therefore, were ye having then, in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those is death.

²⁰ So that in My statutes they walk, And My judgments they keep, and have done them, And they have been to me for a people, And I am to them for God.

³ And thou, son of man, make to thee vessels of removal, and remove by day before their eyes, and thou hast removed from thy place unto another place before their eyes, it may be they consider, for a rebellious house they are .

²⁷ And My Spirit I give in your midst, And I have done this, so that in My statutes ye walk, And My judgments ye keep, and have done them.

¹ In the twenty and fifth year of our removal, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in this self-same day hath a hand of Jehovah been upon me, and He bringeth me in thither; ² in visions of God He hath brought me in unto the land of Israel, and causeth me to rest on a very high mountain, and upon it is as the frame of a city on the south. ³ And He bringeth me in thither, and lo, a man, his appearance as the appearance of brass, and a thread of flax in his hand, and a measuring-reed, and he is standing at the gate, ⁴ and the man speaketh unto me: `Son of man, see with thine eyes, And with thine ears hear, And set thy heart to all that I am shewing thee, For, in order to shew it thee, Thou hast been brought in hither, Declare all that thou art seeing to the house of Israel.'
⁵ And lo, a wall on the outside of the house all round about, and in the hand of the man a measuring-reed, six cubits by a cubit and a handbreadth, and he measureth the breadth of the building one reed, and the height one reed. ⁶ And he cometh in unto the gate whose front is eastward, and he goeth up by its steps, and he measureth the threshold of the gate one reed broad, even the one threshold one reed broad, ⁷ and the little chamber one reed long and one reed broad, and between the little chambers five cubits, and the threshold of the gate, from the side of the porch of the gate from within, one reed. ⁸ And he measureth the porch of the gate from within one reed, ⁹ and he measureth the porch of the gate eight cubits, and its posts two cubits, and the porch of the gates from within, ¹⁰ and the little chambers of the gate eastward, three on this side, and three on that side; one measure is to them three, and one measure is to the posts, on this side and on that side. ¹¹ And he measureth the breadth of the opening of the gate ten cubits, the length of the gate thirteen cubits; ¹² and a border before the little chambers, one cubit, and one cubit is the border on this side, and the little chamber is six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side. ¹³ And he measureth the gate from the roof of the one little chamber to the roof of another; the breadth twenty and five cubits, opening over-against opening. ¹⁴ And he maketh the posts of sixty cubits, even unto the post of the court, the gate all round about; ¹⁵ and by the front of the gate of the entrance, by the front of the porch of the inner gate, fifty cubits; ¹⁶ and narrow windows are unto the little chambers, and unto their posts at the inside of the gate all round about—and so to the arches—and windows all round about are at the inside, and at the post are palm-trees. ¹⁷ And he bringeth me in unto the outer court, and lo, chambers and a pavement made for the court all round about—thirty chambers on the pavement— ¹⁸ and the pavement unto the side of the gates over-against the length of the gates is the lower pavement; ¹⁹ and he measureth the breadth from before the lower gate, to the front of the inner court, on the outside, a hundred cubits, eastward and northward. ²⁰ As to the gate of the outer court whose front is northward, he hath measured its length and its breadth; ²¹ and its little chambers, three on this side, and three on that side, and its posts and its arches have been according to the measure of the first gate, fifty cubits its length, and the breadth five and twenty by the cubit; ²² and its windows, and its arches, and its palm-trees are according to the measure of the gate whose face is eastward, and by seven steps they go up on it, and its arches are before them. ²³ And the gate of the inner court is over-against the gate at the north and at the east; and he measureth from gate unto gate, a hundred cubits. ²⁴ And he causeth me to go southward, and lo, a gate southward, and he hath measured its posts and its arches according to these measures; ²⁵ and windows are to it and to its arches all round about, like these windows, fifty cubits the length, and the breadth five and twenty cubits; ²⁶ and seven steps are its ascent, and its arches are before them, and palm-trees are to it, one on this side, and one on that side, at its posts;
²⁷ and the gate of the inner court is southward, and he measureth from gate unto gate southward, a hundred cubits. ²⁸ And he bringeth me in unto the inner court by the south gate, and he measureth the south gate according to these measures; ²⁹ and its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches are according to these measures, and windows are to it and to its arches all round about; fifty cubits the length, and the breadth twenty and five cubits. ³⁰ As to the arches all round about, the length is five and twenty cubits, and the breadth five cubits; ³¹ and its arches are unto the outer court, and palm-trees are unto its posts, and eight steps are its ascent. ³² And he bringeth me in unto the inner court eastward, and he measureth the gate according to these measures; ³³ and its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches are according to these measures: and windows are to it and to its arches all round about, the length fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits; ³⁴ and its arches are toward the outer court, and palm-trees are toward its posts, on this side and on that side, and eight steps are its ascent. ³⁵ And he bringeth me in unto the north gate, and hath measured according to these measures; ³⁶ its little chambers, its posts, and its arches; and windows are to it all round about: the length fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits; ³⁷ and its posts are to the outer court, and palm-trees are unto its posts, on this side and on that side, and eight steps are its ascent. ³⁸ And the chamber and its opening is by the posts of the gates, there they purge the burnt-offering.
³⁹ And in the porch of the gate are two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slaughter on them the burnt-offering, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering; ⁴⁰ and at the side without, at the going up to the opening of the north gate, are two tables; and at the other side that is at the porch of the gate, are two tables; ⁴¹ four tables are on this side, and four tables on that side, at the side of the gate, eight tables on which they slaughter. ⁴² And the four tables for burnt-offering are of hewn stone: the length one cubit and a half, and the breadth one cubit and a half, and the height one cubit: on them they place the instruments with which they slaughter the burnt-offering and the sacrifice.

⁵ And Jehovah saith unto me, `Son of man, set thy heart, and see with thine eyes, and with thine ears hear, all that I am speaking with thee, of all the statutes of the house of Jehovah, and of all its laws; and thou hast set thy heart to the entrance of the house, with all the outlets of the sanctuary, ⁶ and hast said unto the rebellious, unto the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Enough to you—of all your abominations, O house of Israel.

¹⁷ if these things ye have known, happy are ye, if ye may do them;

² And I praise you, brethren, that in all things ye remember me, and according as I did deliver to you, the deliverances ye keep,

⁵ who unto an example and shadow do serve of the heavenly things, as Moses hath been divinely warned, being about to construct the tabernacle, for `See (saith He) thou mayest make all things according to the pattern that was shewn to thee in the mount;') —

⁵ Thy testimonies have been very stedfast, To Thy house comely is holiness, O Jehovah, for length of days!

²⁰ At the four sides he hath measured it, a wall is to it all round about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to separate between the holy and the profane place.

²⁷ and there may not at all enter into it any thing defiling and doing abomination, and a lie, but—those written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb.

¹ `And thou hast made the altar of shittim wood, five cubits the length, and five cubits the breadth—the altar is square—and three cubits its height. <sup>2</sup> And thou hast made its horns on its four corners, its horns are of the same, and thou hast overlaid it with brass. <sup>3</sup> And thou hast made its pots to remove its ashes, and its shovels, and its bowls, and its forks, and its fire-pans, even all its vessels thou dost make of brass. <sup>4</sup> `And thou hast made for it a grate of net-work of brass, and hast made on the net four rings of brass on its four extremities, ⁵ and hast put it under the compass of the altar beneath, and the net hath been unto the middle of the altar. ⁶ `And thou hast made staves for the altar, staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them with brass. ⁷ And the staves have been brought into the rings, and the staves have been on the two sides of the altar in bearing it. ⁸ Hollow with boards thou dost make it, as it hath been shewed thee in the mount, so do they make it .

¹ And he maketh an altar of brass, twenty cubits its length, and twenty cubits its breadth, and ten cubits its height.

⁵ And lo, a wall on the outside of the house all round about, and in the hand of the man a measuring-reed, six cubits by a cubit and a handbreadth, and he measureth the breadth of the building one reed, and the height one reed.

⁸ And I have looked at the house, the height all round about: the foundations of the side-chambers are the fulness of the reed, six cubits by the joining.

² And thou hast made its horns on its four corners, its horns are of the same, and thou hast overlaid it with brass.

⁹ and the sons of Aaron bring the blood near unto him, and he dippeth his finger in the blood, and putteth it on the horns of the altar, and the blood he hath poured out at the foundation of the altar;

²⁸ And the report hath come unto Joab—for Joab hath turned aside after Adonijah, though after Absalom he did not turn aside—and Joab fleeth unto the tent of Jehovah, and layeth hold on the horns of the altar.

²⁷ God is Jehovah, and He giveth to us light, Direct ye the festal-sacrifice with cords, Unto the horns of the altar.

¹ Woe to Ariel, Ariel, The city of the encampment of David! Add year to year, let festivals go round. ² And I have sent distress to Ariel, And it hath been lamentation and mourning, And it hath been to me as Ariel.

⁷ And as a dream, a vision of night, hath been The multitude of all the nations Who are warring against Ariel, And all its warriors, and its bulwark, Even of those distressing her.

¹ `And thou hast made the altar of shittim wood, five cubits the length, and five cubits the breadth—the altar is square—and three cubits its height.

¹ And he maketh the altar of burnt-offering of shittim wood, five cubits its length, and five cubits its breadth (square), and three cubits its height; ² and he maketh its horns on its four corners; its horns have been of the same; and he overlayeth it with brass;

³ And they establish the altar on its bases, because of the fear upon them of the peoples of the lands, and he causeth burnt-offerings to ascend upon it to Jehovah, burnt-offerings for the morning and for the evening.

²⁶ neither dost thou go up by steps on Mine altar, that thy nakedness be not revealed upon it.

²⁵ and hast made for it a border of a handbreadth round about, and hast made a crown of gold to its border round about.

³ `And thou hast overlaid it with pure gold, its top, and its sides round about, and its horns; and thou hast made to it a crown of gold round about;

⁸ The opening of the middle side is at the right shoulder of the house, and with windings they go up on the middle one, and from the middle one unto the third.

³² and he buildeth with the stones an altar, in the name of Jehovah, and maketh a trench, as about the space of two measures of seed, round about the altar.

⁴ And there stand up on the ascent, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, Chenani, and they cry with a loud voice unto Jehovah their God.

¹⁶ And He bringeth me in unto the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and lo, at the opening of the temple of Jehovah, between the porch and the altar, about twenty-five men, their backs toward the temple of Jehovah, and their faces eastward, and they are bowing themselves eastward to the sun.

²⁹ and the altar of the burnt-offering he hath set at the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and causeth the burnt-offering to go up upon it, and the present, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

⁵ and he hath slaughtered the son of the herd before Jehovah; and sons of Aaron, the priests, have brought the blood near, and sprinkled the blood on the altar round about, which is at the opening of the tent of meeting. ⁶ `And he hath stripped the burnt-offering, and hath cut it into its pieces; <sup>7</sup> and the sons of Aaron the priest have put fire on the altar, and arranged wood on the fire; <sup>8</sup> and sons of Aaron, the priests, have arranged the pieces, with the head and the fat, on the wood, which is on the fire, which is on the altar; <sup>9</sup> and its inwards and its legs he doth wash with water; and the priest hath made perfume with the whole on the altar, a burnt-offering, a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah.
<sup>10</sup> `And if his offering is out of the flock—out of the sheep or out of the goats—for a burnt-offering, a male, a perfect one, he doth bring near, ¹¹ and he hath slaughtered it by the side of the altar northward, before Jehovah; and sons of Aaron, the priests, have sprinkled its blood on the altar round about; ¹² and he hath cut it into its pieces, and its head and its fat, and the priest hath arranged them on the wood, which is on the fire, which is on the altar; ¹³ and the inwards and the legs he doth wash with water, and the priest hath brought the whole near, and hath made perfume on the altar; it is a burnt-offering, a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah. ¹⁴ `And if his offering is a burnt-offering out of the fowl to Jehovah, than he hath brought near his offering out of the turtle-doves or out of the young pigeons, ¹⁵ and the priest hath brought it near unto the altar, and hath wrung off its head, and hath made perfume on the altar, and its blood hath been wrung out by the side of the altar; ¹⁶ and he hath turned aside its crop with its feathers, and hath cast it near the altar, eastward, unto the place of ashes; ¹⁷ and he hath cleaved it with its wings (he doth not separate it), and the priest hath made it a perfume on the altar, on the wood, which is on the fire; it is a burnt-offering, a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah.

¹⁸ And he bringeth near the ram of the burnt-offering, and Aaron and his sons lay their hands on the head of the ram, ¹⁹ and one slaughtereth, and Moses sprinkleth the blood on the altar round about; ²⁰ and the ram he hath cut into its pieces, and Moses maketh perfume with the head, and the pieces, and the fat, ²¹ and the inwards and the legs he hath washed with water, and Moses maketh perfume with the whole ram on the altar; it is a burnt-offering, for sweet fragrance; it is a fire-offering to Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

¹⁹ and he hath sprinkled on it of the blood with his finger seven times, and hath cleansed it, and hath hallowed it from the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel.

¹ It is the appearance of the likeness of the honour of Jehovah, and I see, and fall on my face, and I hear a voice speaking, and He saith unto me, `Son of man, stand on thy feet, and I speak with thee.'

¹⁸ `Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In the first month, in the first of the month, thou dost take a bullock, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and hast cleansed the sanctuary: ¹⁹ and the priest hath taken of the blood of the sin offering, and hath put on the door-post of the house, and on the four corners of the border of the altar, and on the post of the gate of the inner court.

¹³ for if the blood of bulls, and goats, and ashes of an heifer, sprinkling those defiled, doth sanctify to the purifying of the flesh,

²¹ and both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the service with blood in like manner he did sprinkle, ²² and with blood almost all things are purified according to the law, and apart from blood-shedding forgiveness doth not come.

⁴ for it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. ⁵ Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith, `Sacrifice and offering Thou didst not will, and a body Thou didst prepare for me, <sup>6</sup> in burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offerings, Thou didst not delight,
<sup>7</sup> then I said, Lo, I come, (in a volume of the book it hath been written concerning me,) to do, O God, Thy will;' <sup>8</sup> saying above—`Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offering Thou didst not will, nor delight in,' —which according to the law are offered— ⁹ then he said, `Lo, I come to do, O God, Thy will;' he doth take away the first that the second he may establish; ¹⁰ in the which will we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once, ¹¹ and every priest, indeed, hath stood daily serving, and the same sacrifices many times offering, that are never able to take away sins. ¹² And He, for sin one sacrifice having offered—to the end, did sit down on the right hand of God, —

²⁴ and to a mediator of a new covenant—Jesus, and to blood of sprinkling, speaking better things than that of Abel!

¹⁰ and hast brought near the bullock before the tent of meeting, and Aaron hath laid—his sons also—their hands on the head of the bullock. ¹¹ `And thou hast slaughtered the bullock before Jehovah, at the opening of the tent of meeting,

³ `If the priest who is anointed doth sin according to the guilt of the people, then he hath brought near for his sin which he hath sinned a bullock, a son of the herd, a perfect one, to Jehovah, for a sin-offering, <sup>4</sup> and he hath brought in the bullock unto the opening of the tent of meeting before Jehovah, and hath laid his hand on the head of the bullock, and hath slaughtered the bullock before Jehovah. <sup>5</sup> `And the priest who is anointed hath taken of the blood of the bullock, and hath brought it in unto the tent of meeting, ⁶ and the priest hath dipped his finger in the blood, and sprinkled of the blood seven times before Jehovah, at the front of the vail of the sanctuary; ⁷ and the priest hath put of the blood on the horns of the altar of spice-perfume before Jehovah, which is in the tent of meeting, and all the blood of the bullock he doth pour out at the foundation of the altar of the burnt-offering, which is at the opening of the tent of meeting. ⁸ `And all the fat of the bullock of the sin-offering he doth lift up from it, the fat which is covering over the inwards, and all the fat which is on the inwards, <sup>9</sup> and the two kidneys, and the fat which is on them, which is on the flanks, and the redundance above the liver, (beside the kidneys he doth turn it aside), <sup>10</sup> as it is lifted up from the ox of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings; and the priest hath made them a perfume on the altar of the burnt-offering. <sup>11</sup> `And the skin of the bullock, and all its flesh, besides its head, and besides its legs, and its inwards, and its dung— ¹² he hath even brought out the whole bullock unto the outside of the camp, unto a clean place, unto the place of the pouring out of the ashes, and he hath burnt it on the wood with fire; beside the place of the pouring out of the ashes it is burnt.
¹³ `And if the whole company of Israel err ignorantly, and the thing hath been hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done something against one of all the commands of Jehovah concerning things which are not to be done, and have been guilty; <sup>14</sup> when the sin which they have sinned concerning it hath been known, then have the assembly brought near a bullock, a son of the herd, for a sin-offering, and they have brought it in before the tent of meeting; <sup>15</sup> and the elders of the company have laid their hands on the head of the bullock, before Jehovah, and one hath slaughtered the bullock before Jehovah. <sup>16</sup> `And the priest who is anointed hath brought in of the blood of the bullock unto the tent of meeting, ¹⁷ and the priest hath dipped his finger in the blood, and hath sprinkled seven times before Jehovah at the front of the vail, ¹⁸ and some of the blood he doth put on the horns of the altar which is before Jehovah, which is in the tent of meeting; and all the blood he doth pour out at the foundation of the altar of the burnt-offering, which is at the opening of the tent of meeting; ¹⁹ and all its fat he doth lift up from it, and hath made perfume on the altar. ²⁰ `And he hath done to the bullock as he hath done to the bullock of the sin-offering, so he doth to it; and the priest hath made atonement for them, and it hath been forgiven them; <sup>21</sup> and he hath brought out the bullock unto the outside of the camp, and hath burned it as he hath burned the first bullock; it is a sin-offering of the assembly.
<sup>22</sup> `When a prince doth sin, and hath done something against one of all the commands of Jehovah his God regarding things which are not to be done, through ignorance, and hath been guilty— ²³ or his sin wherein he hath sinned hath been made known unto him, then he hath brought in his offering, a kid of the goats, a male, a perfect one, ²⁴ and he hath laid his hand on the head of the goat, and hath slaughtered it in the place where he doth slaughter the burnt-offering before Jehovah; it is a sin-offering. ²⁵ `And the priest hath taken of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and hath put on the horns of the altar of the burnt-offering, and its blood he doth pour out at the foundation of the altar of the burnt-offering, <sup>26</sup> and with all its fat he doth make perfume on the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings; and the priest hath made atonement for him because of his sin, and it hath been forgiven him.
<sup>27</sup> `And if any person of the people of the land sin through ignorance, by his doing something against one of the commands of Jehovah regarding things which are not to be done, and hath been guilty— ²⁸ or his sin which he hath sinned hath been made known unto him, then he hath brought in his offering, a kid of the goats, a perfect one, a female, for his sin which he hath sinned, ²⁹ and he hath laid his hand on the head of the sin-offering, and hath slaughtered the sin-offering in the place of the burnt-offering. ³⁰ `And the priest hath taken of its blood with his finger, and hath put on the horns of the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its blood he doth pour out at the foundation of the altar, <sup>31</sup> and all its fat he doth turn aside, as the fat hath been turned aside from off the sacrifice of the peace-offerings, and the priest hath made perfume on the altar, for sweet fragrance to Jehovah; and the priest hath made atonement for him, and it hath been forgiven him. <sup>32</sup> `And if he bring in a sheep for his offering, for a sin-offering, a female, a perfect one, he doth bring in, ³³ and he hath laid his hand on the head of the sin-offering, and hath slaughtered it for a sin-offering in the place where he slaughtereth the burnt-offering. ³⁴ `And the priest hath taken of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and hath put on the horns of the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its blood he poureth out at the foundation of the altar, ³⁵ and all its fat he turneth aside, as the fat of the sheep is turned aside from the sacrifice of the peace-offerings, and the priest hath made them a perfume on the altar, according to the fire-offerings of Jehovah, and the priest hath made atonement for him, for his sin which he hath sinned, and it hath been forgiven him.

¹⁴ And he bringeth nigh the bullock of the sin-offering, and Aaron layeth—his sons also—their hands on the head of the bullock of the sin-offering, ¹⁵ and one slaughtereth, and Moses taketh the blood, and putteth on the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and cleanseth the altar, and the blood he hath poured out at the foundation of the altar, and sanctifieth it, to make atonement upon it.

⁵ and he speaketh unto Korah, and unto all his company, saying, `Morning! —and Jehovah is knowing those who are his, and him who is holy, and hath brought near unto Him; even him whom He doth fix on He bringeth near unto Him.

⁴⁰ a memorial to the sons of Israel, so that a stranger who is not of the seed of Aaron doth not draw near to make a perfume before Jehovah, and is not as Korah, and as his company, —as Jehovah hath spoken by the hand of Moses to him.

⁵ and ye have kept the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar, and there is no more wrath against the sons of Israel.

³⁵ and I have raised up for Me a stedfast priest; as in My heart and in My soul he doth do; and I have built for him a stedfast house, and he hath walked up and down before Mine anointed all the days; ³⁶ and it hath been, every one who is left in thy house doth come in to bow himself to him, for a wage of silver, and a cake of bread, and hath said, Admit me, I pray thee, unto one of the priest's offices, to eat a morsel of bread.'

²⁷ And Solomon casteth out Abiathar from being priest to Jehovah, to fulfil the word of Jehovah which He spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

³⁵ and the king putteth Benaiah son of Jehoiada in his stead over the host, and Zadok the priest hath the king put in the stead of Abiathar.

⁶ And ye are called `Priests of Jehovah,' `Ministers of our God,' is said of you, The strength of nations ye consume, And in their honour ye do boast yourselves.

²² For, as the new heavens and the new earth that I am making, Are standing before Me, An affirmation of Jehovah! So remain doth your seed and your name.

¹⁸ And to the priests—the Levites, Not cut off from before Me is one, Causing a burnt-offering to ascend, And perfuming a present, and making sacrifice—all the days.' ¹⁹ And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying, ²⁰ `Thus said Jehovah: If ye do break My covenant of the day, And My covenant of the night, So that they are not daily and nightly in their season, ²¹ Also My covenant is broken with David My servant, So that he hath not a son reigning on his throne, And with the Levites the priests, My ministers. ²² As the host of the heavens is not numbered, Nor the sand of the sea measured, So I multiply the seed of David My servant, And the Levites My ministers.'

⁴⁶ and the chamber, whose front is northward, is for priests keeping charge of the altar: they are sons of Zadok, who are drawing near of the sons of Levi unto Jehovah, to serve Him.'

¹⁵ `And the priests, the Levites, sons of Zadok, who have kept the charge of My sanctuary in the wandering of the sons of Israel from off Me, they draw near unto Me to serve Me, and have stood before Me, to bring near to Me fat and blood—an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah:

¹¹ For the priests who are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, who have kept My charge, who erred not in the erring of the sons of Israel, as the Levites erred,

²¹ for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.

²⁷ who hath no necessity daily, as the chief priests, first for his own sins to offer up sacrifice, then for those of the people; for this he did once, having offered up himself;

⁵ and ye yourselves, as living stones, are built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

⁹ and ye are a choice race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired, that the excellences ye may shew forth of Him who out of darkness did call you to His wondrous light;

¹² and hast taken of the blood of the bullock, and hast put it on the horns of the altar with thy finger, and all the blood thou dost pour out at the foundation of the altar;

³⁶ and a bullock, a sin-offering, thou dost prepare daily for the atonements, and thou hast atoned for the altar, in thy making atonement on it, and hast anointed it to sanctify it;

²⁵ `And the priest hath taken of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and hath put on the horns of the altar of the burnt-offering, and its blood he doth pour out at the foundation of the altar of the burnt-offering,

³⁰ `And the priest hath taken of its blood with his finger, and hath put on the horns of the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its blood he doth pour out at the foundation of the altar,

³⁴ `And the priest hath taken of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and hath put on the horns of the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its blood he poureth out at the foundation of the altar,

¹⁵ and one slaughtereth, and Moses taketh the blood, and putteth on the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and cleanseth the altar, and the blood he hath poured out at the foundation of the altar, and sanctifieth it, to make atonement upon it.

¹⁵ `And the altar is four cubits, and from the altar and upward are four horns. ¹⁶ And the altar is twelve long by twelve broad, square in its four squares. ¹⁷ And the border is fourteen long by fourteen broad, at its four squares, and the border round about it is half a cubit, and the centre to it is a cubit round about, and its steps are looking eastward.'

²² And on the second day thou dost bring near a kid of the goats, a perfect one, for a sin-offering, and they have cleansed the altar, as they cleansed it for the bullock.

²⁶ Seven days they purify the altar, and have cleansed it, and filled their hand.

²¹ and both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the service with blood in like manner he did sprinkle, ²² and with blood almost all things are purified according to the law, and apart from blood-shedding forgiveness doth not come.
²³ It is necessary, therefore, the pattern indeed of the things in the heavens to be purified with these, and the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these;

¹⁴ and the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, thou dost burn with fire at the outside of the camp; it is a sin-offering.

¹² he hath even brought out the whole bullock unto the outside of the camp, unto a clean place, unto the place of the pouring out of the ashes, and he hath burnt it on the wood with fire; beside the place of the pouring out of the ashes it is burnt.

¹⁷ and the bullock, and its skin, and its flesh, and its dung, he hath burnt with fire, at the outside of the camp, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

¹¹ for of those beasts whose blood is brought for sin into the holy places through the chief priest—of these the bodies are burned without the camp. ¹² Wherefore, also Jesus—that he might sanctify through his own blood the people—without the gate did suffer;

¹⁵ `And the one ram thou dost take, and Aaron and his sons have laid their hands on the head of the ram, ¹⁶ and thou hast slaughtered the ram, and hast taken its blood, and hast sprinkled it on the altar round about, ¹⁷ and the ram thou dost cut into its pieces, and hast washed its inwards, and its legs, and hast put them on its pieces, and on its head; ¹⁸ and thou hast made perfume with the whole ram on the altar. It is a burnt-offering to Jehovah, a sweet fragrance; a fire-offering it is to Jehovah.

⁶ All of us like sheep have wandered, Each to his own way we have turned, And Jehovah hath caused to meet on him, The punishment of us all.

¹⁰ And Jehovah hath delighted to bruise him, He hath made him sick, If his soul doth make an offering for guilt, He seeth seed—he prolongeth days, And the pleasure of Jehovah in his hand doth prosper.

²⁰ And thou hast taken of its blood, and hast put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of its border, and on the border round about, and hast cleansed it, and purified it.

²⁵ Seven days thou dost prepare a goat for a sin-offering daily, and a bullock, a son of the herd, and a ram out of the flock, perfect ones, do they prepare. ²⁶ Seven days they purify the altar, and have cleansed it, and filled their hand.

¹⁹ but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted—Christ's—

¹ `And this is the thing which thou dost to them, to hallow them, for being priests to Me: Take one bullock, a son of the herd, and two rams, perfect ones,

¹³ And every offering—thy present—with salt thou dost season, and thou dost not let the salt of the covenant of thy God cease from thy present; with all thine offerings thou dost bring near salt.

¹⁹ all the heave-offerings of the holy things which the sons of Israel lift up to Jehovah I have given to thee and to thy sons, and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute age-during, a covenant of salt, age-during it is before Jehovah, to thee and to thy seed with thee.'

⁵ Is it not for you to know that Jehovah, God of Israel, hath given the kingdom to David over Israel to the age, to him and to his sons—a covenant of salt?

¹³ `Ye are the salt of the land, but if the salt may lose savour, in what shall it be salted? for nothing is it good henceforth, except to be cast without, and to be trodden down by men.

⁴⁹ for every one with fire shall be salted, and every sacrifice with salt shall be salted. ⁵⁰ The salt is good, but if the salt may become saltless, in what will ye season it ? Have in yourselves salt, and have peace in one another.'

⁶ your word always in grace—with salt being seasoned—to know how it behoveth you to answer each one.

³⁵ `And thou hast done thus to Aaron and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded thee; seven days thou dost consecrate their hand; ³⁶ and a bullock, a sin-offering, thou dost prepare daily for the atonements, and thou hast atoned for the altar, in thy making atonement on it, and hast anointed it to sanctify it; ³⁷ seven days thou dost make atonement for the altar, and hast sanctified it, and the altar hath been most holy; all that is coming against the altar is holy.

³³ and from the opening of the tent of meeting ye go not out seven days, till the day of the fulness, the days of your consecration—for seven days he doth consecrate your hand;

³⁵ and at the opening of the tent of meeting ye abide, by day and by night seven days, and ye have kept the charge of Jehovah, and die not, for so I have been commanded.'

²⁴ `And thou hast set the whole on the hands of Aaron, and on the hands of his sons, and hast waved them—a wave-offering before Jehovah;

²⁹ and Moses saith, `Consecrate your hand to-day to Jehovah, for a man is against his son, and against his brother, so as to bring on you to-day a blessing.'

³⁴ as he hath done on this day, Jehovah hath commanded to do, to make atonement for you;

¹ `And if his offering is a sacrifice of peace-offerings, if out of the herd he is bringing near, whether male or female, a perfect one he doth bring near before Jehovah,

¹ And it cometh to pass on the eighth day, Moses hath called for Aaron and for his sons, and for the elders of Israel,

⁵ so that the sons of Israel do bring in their sacrifices which they are sacrificing on the face of the field, yea, they have brought them in to Jehovah, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and they have sacrificed sacrifices of peace-offerings to Jehovah with them.

⁸ And now, take to you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go ye unto My servant Job, and ye have caused a burnt-offering to ascend for you; and Job My servant doth pray for you, for surely his face I accept, so as not to do with you folly, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.

⁴⁰ For, in My holy mountain, In the mountain of the height of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, There serve Me do all the house of Israel, All of it, in the land—there I accept them, And there I do seek your heave-offerings, And with the first-fruit of your gifts, With all your holy things. ⁴¹ With sweet fragrance I do accept you, In My bringing you out from the peoples, And I have assembled you from the lands In which ye have been scattered, And I have been sanctified in you Before the eyes of the nations.

¹³ The sacrifices of Mine offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and they eat, Jehovah hath not accepted them, Now doth He remember their iniquity, And inspect their sin, They—to Egypt they turn back.

¹ I call upon you, therefore, brethren, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a sacrifice—living, sanctified, acceptable to God—your intelligent service;

¹⁶ for my being a servant of Jesus Christ to the nations, acting as priest in the good news of God, that the offering up of the nations may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

⁶ to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved,

¹⁷ but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all,

²⁰ and through him to reconcile the all things to himself—having made peace through the blood of his cross—through him, whether the things upon the earth, whether the things in the heavens. ²¹ And you—once being alienated, and enemies in the mind, in the evil works, yet now did he reconcile,

¹⁵ through him, then, we may offer up a sacrifice of praise always to God, that is, the fruit of lips, giving thanks to His name;
