Then came there six men out of the street of the upper port toward the north, and every man a weapon in his hand to the slaughter. There was one amongst them, that had on him a linen raiment, and a writer's inkhorn by his side. These went in, and stood beside the brazen altar:

This is the measure of the altar, after the true cubit which is a span longer than another cubit: his bottom in the midst was a cubit long and wide, and the ledge that went round about it, was a span broad. This is the height of the altar:

The altar was four cubits high, and from the altar upward stood four horns,

The covering of the altar was fourteen cubits long and broad upon the four corners, and the ledge that went round about, had half a cubit: and the bottom thereof round about one cubit: his steps stood toward the East.

And he said unto me, "Thou son of man, thus sayeth the LORD God: These are the ordinances and laws of the altar, in the day when it is made to offer burnt offerings, and to sprinkle blood there upon.

and take the blood of him and sprinkle his four horns withal and the four corners of the altar covering, with the ledge that goeth round about: herewith shalt thou cleanse it, and reconcile it.

The next day, take a goat buck without blemish for a sin offering, to reconcile the altar withal: like as it was reconciled with the bullock.
