< previous EZEKIEL - CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE next >
1 “‘“Moreover, when you shall divide by lot the
land for inheritance, you shall offer an offering to Jehovah, a holy portion of
the land; the length shall be the length of twenty-five thousand reeds, and the
width shall be ten thousand: it shall be holy in all its border all around. 2 Of
this there shall be a five hundred by five hundred square for the holy place;
and fifty cubits for its suburbs all around. 3 Of this measure you shall
measure a length of twenty-five thousand, and a width of ten thousand: and in
it shall be the sanctuary, which is most holy. 4 It is a holy portion of
the land; it shall be for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who come
near to minister to Jehovah; and it shall be a place for their houses, and a
holy place for the sanctuary. 5 Twenty-five thousand in length, and ten
thousand in width, shall be to the Levites, the ministers of the house, for a
possession to themselves, for twenty rooms.
6 “‘“You shall appoint the possession of the city
five thousand wide, and twenty-five thousand long, side by side with the
offering of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel. 7 What
is for the prince shall be on the one side and on the other side of the holy
offering and of the possession of the city, in front of the holy offering and
in front of the possession of the city, on the west side westward, and on the
east side eastward; and in length next to one of the portions, from the west
border to the east border. 8 In the land it shall be to him for a
possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more oppress my people; but they
shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.’”
9 “‘Thus says the Lord Jehovah: “Let it suffice
you, princes of Israel: remove violence and plunder, and execute justice and
righteousness; stop dispossessing my people,” says the Lord Jehovah. 10 “You
shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath. 11 The ephah and
the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain one tenth of a
homer, and the ephah one tenth of a homer: its measure shall be after the
homer. 12 The shekel shall be twenty gerahs. Twenty shekels plus
twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels shall be your mina. 13 This is
the offering that you shall offer: the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of
wheat; and you shall give the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of barley; 14 and
the set portion of oil, of the bath of oil, one tenth of a bath out of the cor,
which is ten baths, even a homer; (for ten baths are a homer;) 15 and one
lamb of the flock, out of two hundred, from the well-watered pastures of
Israel—for a meal offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings,
to make atonement for them,” says the Lord Jehovah.
16 “‘“All the people of the land shall give to
this offering for the prince in Israel. 17 It shall be the prince’s part
to give the burnt offerings, and the meal offerings, and the drink offerings,
in the feasts, and on the new moons, and on the Sabbaths, in all the appointed
feasts of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meal
offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make atonement
for the house of Israel.”
18 “‘Thus says the Lord Jehovah: “In the first
month, on the first day of the month, you shall take a young bull without
defect; and you shall cleanse the sanctuary. 19 The priest shall take some
of the blood of the sin offering, and put it on the door posts of the house,
and on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the posts of the gate
of the inner court. 20 So you shall do on the seventh day of the month for
everyone who errs, and for him who is ignorant: so you shall make atonement for
the house.
21 “‘“In the first month, on the fourteenth day
of the month, you shall have the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened
bread shall be eaten. 22 On that day the prince shall prepare for himself
and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering. 23 The seven
days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to Jehovah, seven bulls and
seven rams without defect daily the seven days; and a male goat daily for a sin
offering. 24 He shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah for a bull, and an
ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil to an ephah. 25 In the seventh month, on
the fifteenth day of the month, in the feast, he shall do the like the seven
days; according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and
according to the meal offering, and according to the oil.”’”
