5. So the Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
6. And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.
7. And he said unto me,
8. In 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: therefore I have consumed them in my anger.
9. Now let them put away their harlotry, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them forever.
10. You son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.
11. And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, show them the form of the house, and its plan, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its design, and all its ordinances, and all its forms, and all its laws: and write it in their sight, that they may keep its whole design, and all its ordinances, and do them.
12. This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole area round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
13. And these are the measurements of the altar by cubits: The cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth; the base shall be a cubit high, and the width a cubit, and its rim all around its edge shall be a span: and this shall be the height of the altar.
