43:13 以下量祭壇，是以肘為度（這肘是一肘零一掌）。底座高一肘，邊寬一肘，四圍起邊高一掌，這是壇的座。
43:14 從底座到下層磴臺，高二肘，邊寬一肘。從小磴臺到大磴臺，高四肘，邊寬一肘。
43:15 壇上的供臺，高四肘。供臺的四拐角上都有角。
43:16 供臺長十二肘，寬十二肘，四面見方。
43:17 磴臺長十四肘，寬十四肘，四面見方。四圍起邊高半肘，底座四圍的邊寬一肘。臺階朝東。
43:18 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：
43:19 主耶和華說，你要將一隻公牛犢作為贖罪祭，給祭司利未人撒督的後裔，就是那親近我、事奉我的。
43:20 你要取些公牛的血，抹在壇的四角和磴臺的四拐角，並四圍所起的邊上。你這樣潔淨壇，壇就潔淨了。
43:21 你又要將那作贖罪祭的公牛犢燒在殿外、聖地之外預定之處。
43:22 次日，要將無殘疾的公山羊獻為贖罪祭；要潔淨壇，像用公牛犢潔淨的一樣。
43:23 潔淨了壇，就要將一隻無殘疾的公牛犢和羊群中一隻無殘疾的公綿羊
43:24 奉到耶和華前。祭司要撒鹽在其上，獻與耶和華為燔祭。
43:25 七日內，每日要預備一隻公山羊為贖罪祭，也要預備一隻公牛犢和羊群中的一隻公綿羊，都要沒有殘疾的。
43:26 七日祭司潔淨壇，壇就潔淨了；要這樣把壇分別為聖。
43:27 滿了七日，自八日以後，祭司要在壇上獻你們的燔祭和平安祭；我必悅納你們。這是主耶和華說的。」
13 "These are the measurements of the
altar by cubits (the cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth): its base shall be
one cubit high and one cubit broad, with a rim of one span around its edge. And
this shall be the height of the altar:14 from the base on the ground to the
lower ledge, two cubits, with a breadth of one cubit; and from the smaller
ledge to the larger ledge, four cubits, with a breadth of one cubit; 15 and the
altar hearth, four cubits; and from the altar hearth projecting upward, four
horns. 16 The altar hearth shall be square, twelve cubits long by twelve broad.
17 The ledge also shall be square, fourteen cubits long by fourteen broad, with
a rim around it half a cubit broad, and its base one cubit all around. The
steps of the altar shall face east."
18 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, 19 you shall give to the Levitical priests of the family of Zadok,
who draw near to me to minister to me, declares the Lord God, a bull from the
herd for a sin offering. 20 And you shall take some of its blood and put it on
the four horns of the altar and on the four corners of the ledge and upon the
rim all around. Thus you shall purify the altar and make atonement for it. 21
You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burned in the
appointed place belonging to the temple, outside the sacred area. 22 And on the
second day you shall offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering; and
the altar shall be purified, as it was purified with the bull. 23 When you have
finished purifying it, you shall offer a bull from the herd without blemish and
a ram from the flock without blemish. 24 You shall present them before the
Lord, and the priests shall sprinkle salt on them and offer them up as a burnt
offering to the Lord. 25 For seven days you shall provide daily a male goat for
a sin offering; also, a bull from the herd and a ram from the flock, without
blemish, shall be provided. 26 Seven days shall they make atonement for the
altar and cleanse it, and so consecrate it. 27 And when they have completed
these days, then from the eighth day onward the priests shall offer on the
altar your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, and I will accept you,
declares the Lord God."

我們常常以為獻祭是討上帝的喜歡，其實獻祭不是給上帝禮物，獻祭反而是上帝給人禮物！因為上帝透過獻祭向人宣告：在末後的日子祂要透過基督如同祭物獻上自己，來成為我們的贖罪祭，好教我們的罪得赦免，才被接納為祂的祭司和祂的兒女！
今天先知透過這段話語告訴我們，上帝接納雅倫的子孫成為祭司，是要先獻贖罪祭，之後才有平安祭。這個意義是要告訴我們，罪要得赦免，上帝才能與我們和好，而這樣的和好是來自基督耶穌照上帝的旨意成為祭牲所成就的！人無法替自己做甚麼，人只能接受和信靠，才會蒙上帝接納，如此才有真正平安！
也因為如此，我們只能自卑在上帝面前承認我們是有罪的，是需要這救恩，求主的寶血來遮蓋，使我們免去上帝的憤怒，與上帝有何好的關係，這才是真正的平安！
