Ezekiel
Chapter 45
1
Moreover,
when
you shall divide by lot the land for inheritance,
you
shall offer an oblation unto Jehovah/God,
an
holy portion of the land.
The
length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand reeds,
and
the breadth shall be ten thousand.
This shall be holy in all the borders thereof round about.
2
Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred in length,
with
five hundred in breadth,
square
round about;
and
fifty cubits round about for the suburbs thereof.
3
And of this measure shall you measure the length of five
and
twenty thousand,
and
the breadth of ten thousand.
And in it shall be the sanctuary and the most holy place.
4
The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests
the
ministers of the sanctuary,
who
shall come near to minister unto Jehovah/God.
And
it shall be a place for their houses,
and
an holy place for the sanctuary.
5
And the five and twenty thousand of length,
and
the ten thousand of breadth,
shall
also the Levites,
the
ministers of the house,
have
for themselves,
for
a possession for twenty chambers.
6
And you shall appoint the possession
of
the city five thousand broad,
and
five and twenty thousand long,
over
against the oblation of the holy portion.
It shall be for the whole house of Israel.
7
And a portion shall be for the prince on the one side
and
on the other side of the oblation of the holy portion,
and
of the possession of the city,
before
the oblation of the holy portion,
and
before the possession of the city,
from
the west side westward,
and
from the east side eastward
and
the length shall be over against one of the portions,
from
the west border unto the east border.
8 In the land shall be his possession in Israel.
And
my princes shall no more oppress my people;
and
the rest of the land shall they give to the house of Israel
according
to their tribes.
9
Thus said the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah,
"Let
it suffice you, O princes of Israel.
Remove
violence and spoil,
and
execute judgment and justice,
take
away your exactions from My people,"
said
the Lord/'Adonay God/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 the tenth part of an homer,
and
the ephah the tenth part of an homer.
The measure thereof shall be after the homer. 12
And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs.
Twenty
shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels,
shall
be your maneh. 13
This
is the oblation that you shall offer;
the
sixth part of an ephah of an homer of wheat,
and
you shall give the sixth part
of
an ephah of an homer of barley. 14
Concerning
the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil,
you
shall offer the tenth part of a bath out of the cor,
which
is an homer of ten baths;
for
ten baths are an homer. 15
And
one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred,
out
of the fat pastures of Israel;
for
a meat offering,
and
for a burnt offering,
and
for peace offerings,
to
make reconciliation for them,"
said
the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah. 16
"All
the people of the land shall give this oblation
for
the prince in Israel. 17
And
it shall be the prince's part to give burnt offerings,
and
meat offerings, and drink offerings,
in
the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the Sabbaths,
in
all solemnities of the house of Israel.
He
shall prepare the sin offering,
and
the meat offering, and the burnt offering,
and
the peace offerings,
to
make reconciliation for the house of Israel."
18
"Thus said the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah,
"In
the first month, in the first day of the month,
you
shall take a young bullock without blemish,
and
cleanse the sanctuary. 19
And
the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering,
and
put it upon the posts of the house,
and
upon the four corners of the settle of the altar,
and
upon the posts of the gate of the inner court. 20
And
so you shall do the seventh day of the month
for
every one that errs,
and
for him who is simple . . .
so
shall you reconcile the house. 21
In
the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month,
you
shall have the Passover,
a
feast of seven days,
unleavened
bread shall be eaten. 22
And
upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself
and
for all the people of the land
a
bullock for a sin offering. 23
And
seven days of the feast
he
shall prepare a burnt offering to Jehovah/God,
seven
bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days;
and
a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering. 24
And
he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bullock,
and
an ephah for a ram,
and
an hin of oil for an ephah. 25
In
the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month,
shall
he do the like in the feast of the seven days,
according
to the sin offering,
according
to the burnt offering,
and
according to the meat offering,
and
according to the oil."
