## Ezekiel 43:15-17 in Context (Verses 12–20 KJV)
 
 [12 ](/kjv/ezekiel/43/12) This *is* the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about *shall be* most holy. Behold, this *is* the law of the house.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/ezekiel/43/13) ¶ 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.**
 
 [14 ](/kjv/ezekiel/43/14) 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.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/ezekiel/43/15) So the altar *shall be* four cubits; and from the altar and upward *shall be* four horns.**
 
 [16 ](/kjv/ezekiel/43/16) And the altar *shall be* twelve *cubits* long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/ezekiel/43/17) 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.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/ezekiel/43/18) ¶ 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.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/ezekiel/43/19) 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.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/ezekiel/43/20) 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.
