Chapter 43 of Ezekiel—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ Then he led me to the 1gate, the gate facing toward the east;
  2. and behold, the 2glory of the God of Israel was coming from the way of the 3east. And His 4voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth 5shone with His glory.
  3. And it was like the appearance of the vision which I saw, like the 6vision which I saw when [a]He came to 7destroy the city. And the visions were like the vision which I saw by the 8river Chebar; and I 9fell on my face.
  4. And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate facing toward the 10east.
  5. And the 11Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the 12glory of the LORD filled the house.
  6. ¶ Then I heard one speaking to me from the house, while a 13man was standing beside me.
  7. He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My 14throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will 15dwell among the sons of Israel forever. And the house of Israel will not again defile My holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their harlotry and by the [b]16corpses of their kings [c]when they die,
  8. by setting their threshold by My threshold and their door post beside My door post, with only the wall between Me and them. And they have 17defiled My holy name by their abominations which they have committed. So I have consumed them in My anger.
  9. Now let them 18put away their harlotry and the [d]corpses of their kings far from Me; and I will 19dwell among them forever.
  10. ¶ “As for you, son of man, [e]20describe the [f]temple to the house of Israel, that they may be 21ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the [g]22plan.
  11. If they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the [h]design of the house, its structure, its 23exits, its entrances, all its designs, all its statutes[i], and all its laws. And write it 24in their sight, so that they may observe its whole [j]design and all its statutes and 25do them.
  12. This is the [k]law of the house: its entire [l]area on the top of the 26mountain all around shall be most holy. Behold, this is the [m]law of the house.
  13. ¶ “And these are the measurements of the 27altar by cubits (the 28cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth): the [n]base shall be a cubit and the width a cubit, and its border on its edge round about one span; and this shall be the height of the [o]base of the altar.
  14. From the base on the ground to the lower 29ledge shall be two cubits and the width one cubit; and from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge shall be four cubits and the width [p]one cubit.
  15. The [q]altar hearth shall be four cubits; and from the [r]altar hearth shall extend upwards four 30horns.
  16. Now the [s]altar hearth shall be twelve cubits long by twelve wide, 31square in its four sides.
  17. The ledge shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen wide in its four sides, the border around it shall be half a cubit and its base shall be a cubit round about; and its 32steps shall [t]33face the east.”
  18. ¶ And He said to me, “34Son of man, thus says the Lord [u]GOD, ‘These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is built, to offer 35burnt offerings on it and to 36sprinkle blood on it.
  19. You shall give to the Levitical priests who are from the offspring of 37Zadok, who draw 38near to Me to minister to Me,’ declares the Lord GOD, ‘a 39young bull for a 40sin offering.
  20. You shall take some of its blood and put it on its four 41horns and on the four corners of the 42ledge and on the border round about; thus you shall 43cleanse it and make atonement for it.
  21. You shall also take the bull for the sin offering, and it shall be 44burned in the appointed place of the house, outside the sanctuary.
  22. ¶ ‘On the second day you shall offer a 45male goat without blemish for a sin offering, and they shall 46cleanse the altar as they cleansed it with the bull.
  23. When you have finished cleansing it, you shall present a 47young bull without blemish and a 48ram without blemish from the flock.
  24. You shall present them before the LORD, and the priests shall throw 49salt on them, and they shall offer them up as a burnt offering to the LORD.
  25. 50For seven days you shall prepare daily a goat for a sin offering; also a young bull and a ram from the flock, without blemish, shall be prepared.
  26. For seven days they shall make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they [v]consecrate it.
  27. When they have completed the days, it shall be that on the 51eighth day and onward, the priests shall [w]offer your burnt offerings on the altar, and your 52peace offerings; and I will 53accept you,’ declares the Lord GOD.”

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
