Then the man said to me,“ Son of man, the Lord and King speaks. He says,‘ Here are the rules for the altar when it is built. Follow them when you sacrifice burnt offerings and splash blood against it.

他对我说：“人子啊，主耶和华如此说：建造祭坛，为要在其上献燔祭洒血，造成的时候典章如下：

他对我说：“人子啊，主耶和华如此说：这些是建造祭坛，为要在其上献燔祭，把血洒在上面的条例：

他对我说：“人子啊，主耶和华如此说：这些是建造祭坛，为要在其上献燔祭，把血洒在上面的条例：

祂对我说：“人子啊，主耶和华这样说，‘祭坛建成后，要按以下的规矩在上面献燔祭和洒血。

他对我说：“人子啊！主耶和华这样说：祭坛的规条是这样：做成了祭坛，在上面献燔祭、洒上血的时候，

他對我說：「人子啊，主耶和華如此說：建造祭壇，為要在其上獻燔祭灑血，造成的時候典章如下：

他對我說：「人子啊，主耶和華如此說：這些是建造祭壇，為要在其上獻燔祭，把血灑在上面的條例：

他對我說：『人子啊，主永恆主這麼說：以下這些規矩就是祭壇的條例：祭壇是要讓人在上頭獻燔祭、在上頭潑血的：祭壇造成了以後，

Then he said to me,“ Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: These will be the regulations for sacrificing burnt offerings and splashing blood against the altar when it is built:

And he said to me,“ Son of man, thus says the Lord God: These are the ordinances for the altar: On the day when it is erected for offering burnt offerings upon it and for throwing blood against it,

Then he said to me,“ Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: These will be the regulations for the burning of offerings and the sprinkling of blood when the altar is built.

Then he said to me,“ Son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says: These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is constructed, so that burnt offerings may be sacrificed on it and blood may be splattered on it:

And He said to me,“ Son of man, this is what the Lord God says:‘ These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is built, to offer burnt offerings on it and to sprinkle blood on it.

And He said to me,“ Son of man, thus says the Lord GOD:‘ These are the ordinances for the altar on the day when it is made, for sacrificing burnt offerings on it, and for sprinkling blood on it.

And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: 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.

Then He said to me:“ Son of man, this is what the Lord God says: These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is constructed, so that burnt offerings may be sacrificed on it and blood may be sprinkled on it:

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.

Then he said to me:“ Son of man, this is what the sovereign LORD says: These are the statutes of the altar: On the day it is built to offer up burnt offerings on it and to sprinkle blood on it,

He said to me,“ Son of man, the Lord Yahweh says:‘ These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they make it, to offer burnt offerings on it, and to sprinkle blood on it.

He set the altar for burnt offerings near the entrance to the holy tent, the tent of meeting. He sacrificed burnt offerings and grain offerings on it. Moses did it as the Lord had commanded him.

In the same way, he sprinkled the holy tent with blood. He also sprinkled everything that was used in worship there.In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be made“ clean” with blood. Without the spilling of blood, no one can be forgiven.

The young bull must be killed there in the sight of the Lord. Then the priests in Aaron’s family line must bring its blood to the altar. They must splash it against the sides of the altar. The altar stands at the entrance to the tent of meeting.The skin must be removed from the animal brought for the burnt offering. Then the animal must be cut into pieces.The priests in Aaron’s family line must build a fire on the altar. They must place wood on the fire.Then they must place the pieces of the animal on the burning wood on the altar. The pieces include the head and the fat.The inside parts of the animal must be washed with water. The legs must also be washed. The priest must burn all of it on the altar. It is a burnt offering. It is a food offering. Its smell pleases the Lord.“‘ If someone offers a burnt offering from the flock, it must be a male animal. It can be a sheep or a goat. It must not have any flaws.They must kill it at the north side of the altar in the sight of the Lord. The priests in Aaron’s family line must splash its blood against the sides of the altar.They must cut the animal into pieces. The priest must place the pieces on the burning wood on the altar. The pieces include the head and the fat.They must wash the inside parts with water. The legs must also be washed. The priest must bring all the parts to the altar. He must burn them there. It is a burnt offering. It is a food offering. Its smell pleases the Lord.“‘ If someone offers to the Lord a burnt offering of birds, it must be a dove or a young pigeon.The priest must bring it to the altar. He must twist its head off. Then he must burn the rest of the bird on the altar. Its blood must be emptied out on the side of the altar.The priest must remove the small bag inside the bird’s throat. He must also remove the feathers. Then he must throw them to the east side of the altar. That is where the ashes are.He must take hold of the wings of the bird and tear it open. But he must not tear it in two. Then the priest will burn it on the wood burning on the altar. It is a burnt offering. It is a food offering. Its smell pleases the Lord.

Then Moses brought the ram for the burnt offering. Aaron and his sons placed their hands on its head.Moses killed the ram. He splashed the blood against the sides of the altar.He cut the ram into pieces. He burned the head, the other pieces and the fat.He washed the inside parts and the legs with water. He burned the whole ram on the altar as a burnt offering. It had a pleasant smell. It was a food offering presented to the Lord. Moses did everything just as the Lord had commanded him.

The Lord and King says,“ Get a young bull. It must not have any flaws. Use it to make the temple pure and‘ clean.’ Do this on the first day of the first month.The priest must get some of the blood from the sin offering. He must put some on the doorposts of the temple. He must apply some to the four corners of the upper ledge of the altar. He must put the rest on the gateposts of the inner courtyard.

The blood of goats and bulls is sprinkled on people. So are the ashes of a young cow. They are sprinkled on people the law called“ unclean.” The people are sprinkled to make them holy. That makes them“ clean” on the outside.

He will sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times. He will do it to make the altar pure. He will do it to set it apart from the Israelites. They are‘ unclean.’

You have come to Jesus. He is the go- between of a new covenant. You have come to the sprinkled blood. It promises better things than the blood of Abel.

He said to me,“ Son of man, stand up on your feet. I will speak to you.”

It isn’t possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.So when Christ came into the world, he said,“ You didn’t want sacrifices and offerings. Instead, you prepared a body for me.You weren’t pleased with burnt offerings and sin offerings.Then I said,‘ Here I am. It is written about me in the book. I have come to do what you want, my God.’ ”( Psalm 40:6–8)First Christ said,“ You didn’t want sacrifices and offerings. You didn’t want burnt offerings and sin offerings. You weren’t pleased with them.” He said this even though they were offered in keeping with the law.Then he said,“ Here I am. I have come to do what you want.” He did away with the shadow of the good things that were coming. He did it to put in place the good things themselves.We have been made holy by what God wanted. We have been made holy because Jesus Christ offered his body once and for all time.Day after day every priest stands and does his special duties. He offers the same sacrifices again and again. But they can never take away sins.Jesus our priest offered one sacrifice for sins for all time. Then he sat down at the right hand of God.
