What does Ezechiel Chapter 43 say, and which statements belong to its speaker?

Ezechiel 43 brings the prophet to the eastern gate. God's glory comes from the east, with a voice like many waters and earth shining with majesty. He recognizes the appearance seen when the city was destroyed and at the river Chobar, then falls on his face. The Lord's majesty enters by the east gate, and the spirit lifts him into the inner court where the house is filled with glory. A voice speaks from the house while the man stands beside him. Ocean surf, a separately described departure scene and private emotional details are not added.

The Lord calls this the place of his throne and the soles of his feet, dwelling among Israel forever. Israel and its kings will no longer profane his name with fornications, royal carcasses and high places. Their thresholds and posts beside his, separated only by a wall, accompanied abominations for which wrath consumed them. Putting fornications and royal carcasses far away accompanies the promise of continuing residence. The chapter does not specify lavish palaces, royal tomb architecture or centuries of encroachment. Ezechiel must show Israel the temple so they are ashamed and measure it, then display and write its form, entrances, exits, ordinances, order and laws for observance. The house's surrounding border upon the mountain is most holy.

Altar measurements use the truest cubit, a cubit and handbreadth. Bottom and breadth are one cubit, with a handbreadth border at the edge. From ground to lowest brim are two cubits and a one-cubit breadth; from lesser to greater brim four cubits and a one-cubit breadth. Ariel measures four cubits with four horns, then twelve cubits square; the brim is fourteen square, its crown half a cubit, its bottom one cubit around, with steps eastward. The edition separately explains Ariel as the altar or its highest sacrificial part, Harel as mountain of God and Haariel as lion of God, likening sacrifice consumption to a lion's eating.

For the altar's ceremonies, priests and Levites of Sadoc's race receive a calf for sin. Blood goes upon four horns, four brim corners and the crown to cleanse and expiate; the calf is burned in a separate house place outside the sanctuary. On the second day an unblemished he goat expiates as the calf did. After expiation, an unblemished calf and ram are salted and offered as a holocaust. Seven days include a daily sin-offering goat, calf and unblemished ram, with cleansing and consecration. The edition's literal fill its hand refers to dedicating the altar to holy service, not filling the priests' hands. From the eighth day onward priests offer holocausts and peace offerings, with the Lord's promise to be pacified toward them. Sweet-smelling descriptions and a universal rule about every acceptable sacrifice are not supplied.
