Ezekiel 45
45 1Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye
shall offer an oblation unto Jehovah, a holy portion of the land; the length
shall be the length of five and twenty thousand reeds, and the
breadth shall be ten thousand: it shall be holy in all the border thereof
round about.
2Of this there shall be for the holy place five hundred
in length by five hundred in breadth, square round about; and
fifty cubits for the suburbs thereof round about.
3And of this measure
shalt thou measure a length of five and twenty thousand, and a breadth of ten
thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary, which is most holy.
4It is a
holy portion of the land; it shall be for the priests, the ministers of the
sanctuary, that come near to minister unto Jehovah; and it shall be a place
for their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary.
5And five and
twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth, shall be unto the
Levites, the ministers of the house, for a possession unto themselves,
for twenty chambers.
6And ye shall appoint the possession of the
city five thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand long, side by side
with the oblation of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of
Israel.
7And whatsoever is for the prince shall be on the
one side and on the other side of the holy oblation and of the possession of
the city, in front of the holy oblation and in front of the possession of the
city, on the west side westward, and on the east side eastward; and in length
answerable unto one of the portions, from the west border unto the east
border.
8In 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.
9Thus saith the Lord
Jehovah: Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil,
and execute justice and righteousness; take away your exactions from my
people, saith the Lord Jehovah.
10Ye shall have just balances, and a just
ephah, and a just bath.
11The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure,
that the bath may contain the tenth part of a homer, and the ephah the tenth
part of a homer: the measure thereof shall be after the homer.
12And the
shekel shall be twenty gerahs; twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels,
fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh.
13This is the oblation that ye
shall offer: the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of wheat; and ye shall
give the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of barley;
14and the set
portion of oil, of the bath of oil, the tenth part of a bath out of the cor,
which is ten baths, even a homer; (for ten baths are a homer;)
15and 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, saith the Lord Jehovah.
16All the people of the land shall give unto this oblation for the prince
in Israel.
17And 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.
18Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the
first month, in the first day of the month, thou shalt take a
young bullock without blemish; and thou shalt cleanse the sanctuary.
19And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering, and put it
upon the door-posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the ledge of
the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.
20And so
thou shalt do on the seventh day of the month for every one that
erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye make atonement for the house.
21In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye
shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be
eaten.
22And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for
all the people of the land a bullock for a sin-offering.
23And the seven
days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt-offering to Jehovah, seven
bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a he-goat
daily for a sin-offering.
24And he shall prepare a meal-offering, an
ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
25In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, in the
feast, shall he 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.
