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: from the ground to the lower steps the length is two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lower steps to the higher are four cubits, and the breadth but one cubit. The altar was four cubits high, and from the altar upward stood four horns, read more.
and it was twelve cubits long and twelve cubits broad, upon the four corners. 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. To the priests, to the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, and tread before me to do me service, sayeth the LORD God: Unto these give thou a young bullock, for a sin offering; 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. Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering, and burn him in a several place without the Sanctuary. 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. Now when thou hast made it clean, then offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish also. Offer them before the LORD, and let the priest cast salt thereupon, and give them so unto the LORD for a burnt offering. Seven days shalt thou bring, every day a goat buck. A young bullock, and a ram of the flock, both without blemish, shall they offer. Seven days shall they reconcile and cleanse the altar, and offer upon it. When these days are expired, then upon the eighth day and so forth, the priests shall offer their burnt offerings and health offerings upon the altar, so will I be merciful unto you, sayeth the LORD God."
