Ezekiel 45:13-46:24
New King James Version
13 “This is the offering which you shall offer: you shall give one-sixth of an ephah from a homer of wheat, and one-sixth of an ephah from a homer of barley. 14 The ordinance concerning oil, the bath of oil, is one-tenth of a bath from a kor. A kor is a homer or ten baths, for ten baths are a homer. 15 And one lamb shall be given from a flock of two hundred, from the rich pastures of Israel. These shall be for grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, (A)to make atonement for them,” says the Lord God. 16 “All the people of the land shall give this offering for the prince in Israel. 17 Then it shall be the (B)prince’s part to give burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings, at the feasts, the New Moons, the Sabbaths, and at all the appointed seasons of the house of Israel. He shall prepare the sin offering, the grain offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offerings to make atonement for the house of Israel.”
Keeping the Feasts(C)
18 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall take a young bull without blemish and (D)cleanse the sanctuary. 19 (E)The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the [a]temple, on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the gateposts of the gate of the inner court. 20 And so you shall do on the seventh day of the month (F)for everyone who has sinned unintentionally or in ignorance. Thus you shall make atonement for the temple.
21 (G)“In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall observe the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten. 22 And on that day the prince shall prepare for himself and for all the people of the land (H)a bull for a sin offering. 23 On the (I)seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the Lord, seven bulls and seven rams without blemish, daily for seven days, (J)and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering. 24 (K)And he shall prepare a grain offering of one ephah for each bull and one ephah for each ram, together with a hin of oil for each ephah.
25 “In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, at the (L)feast, he shall do likewise for seven days, according to the sin offering, the burnt offering, the grain offering, and the oil.”
The Manner of Worship
46 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “The gateway of the inner court that faces toward the east shall be shut the six (M)working days; but on the Sabbath it shall be opened, and on the day of the New Moon it shall be opened. 2 (N)The prince shall enter by way of the vestibule of the gateway from the outside, and stand by the gatepost. The priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings. He shall worship at the threshold of the gate. Then he shall go out, but the gate shall not be shut until evening. 3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the entrance to this gateway before the Lord on the Sabbaths and the New Moons. 4 The burnt offering that (O)the prince offers to the Lord on the (P)Sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish; 5 (Q)and the grain offering shall be one ephah for a ram, and the grain offering for the lambs, [b]as much as he wants to give, as well as a hin of oil with every ephah. 6 On the day of the New Moon it shall be a young bull without blemish, six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish. 7 He shall prepare a grain offering of an ephah for a bull, an ephah for a ram, [c]as much as he wants to give for the lambs, and a hin of oil with every ephah. 8 (R)When the prince enters, he shall go in by way of the vestibule of the gateway, and go out the same way.
9 “But when the people of the land (S)come before the Lord on the appointed feast days, whoever enters by way of the north (T)gate to worship shall go out by way of the south gate; and whoever enters by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the north gate. He shall not return by way of the gate through which he came, but shall go out through the opposite gate. 10 The prince shall then be in their midst. When they go in, he shall go in; and when they go out, he shall go out. 11 At the festivals and the appointed feast days (U)the grain offering shall be an ephah for a bull, an ephah for a ram, as much as he wants to give for the lambs, and a hin of oil with every ephah.
12 “Now when the prince makes a voluntary burnt offering or voluntary peace offering to the Lord, the gate that faces toward the east (V)shall then be opened for him; and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings as he did on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and after he goes out the gate shall be shut.
13 (W)“You shall daily make a burnt offering to the Lord of a lamb of the first year without blemish; you shall prepare it [d]every morning. 14 And you shall prepare a grain offering with it every morning, a sixth of an ephah, and a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour. This grain offering is a perpetual ordinance, to be made regularly to the Lord. 15 Thus they shall prepare the lamb, the grain offering, and the oil, as a (X)regular burnt offering every morning.”
The Prince and Inheritance Laws
16 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “If the prince gives a gift of some of his inheritance to any of his sons, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance. 17 But if he gives a gift of some of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until (Y)the year of liberty, after which it shall return to the prince. But his inheritance shall belong to his sons; it shall become theirs. 18 Moreover (Z)the prince shall not take any of the people’s inheritance by evicting them from their property; he shall provide an inheritance for his sons from his own property, so that none of My people may be scattered from his property.” ’ ”
How the Offerings Were Prepared
19 Now he brought me through the entrance, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy (AA)chambers of the priests which face toward the north; and there a place was situated at their extreme western end. 20 And he said to me, “This is the place where the priests shall (AB)boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, and where they shall (AC)bake the grain offering, so that they do not bring them out into the outer court (AD)to sanctify the people.”
21 Then he brought me out into the outer court and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and in fact, in every corner of the court there was another court. 22 In the four corners of the court were enclosed courts, forty cubits long and thirty wide; all four corners were the same size. 23 There was a row of building stones all around in them, all around the four of them; and [e]cooking hearths were made under the rows of stones all around. 24 And he said to me, “These are the [f]kitchens where the ministers of the [g]temple shall (AE)boil the sacrifices of the people.”

13 “‘This is the special gift you are to offer: a sixth of an ephah[a] from each homer of wheat and a sixth of an ephah[b] from each homer of barley. 14 The prescribed portion of olive oil, measured by the bath, is a tenth of a bath[c] from each cor (which consists of ten baths or one homer, for ten baths are equivalent to a homer). 15 Also one sheep is to be taken from every flock of two hundred from the well-watered pastures of Israel. These will be used for the grain offerings, burnt offerings(A) and fellowship offerings to make atonement(B) for the people, declares the Sovereign Lord. 16 All the people of the land will be required to give this special offering to the prince in Israel. 17 It will be the duty of the prince to provide the burnt offerings, grain offerings and drink offerings at the festivals, the New Moons(C) and the Sabbaths(D)—at all the appointed festivals of Israel. He will provide the sin offerings,[d] grain offerings, burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to make atonement for the Israelites.(E)
18 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: In the first month(F) on the first day you are to take a young bull without defect(G) and purify the sanctuary.(H) 19 The priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the temple, on the four corners of the upper ledge(I) of the altar(J) and on the gateposts of the inner court. 20 You are to do the same on the seventh day of the month for anyone who sins unintentionally(K) or through ignorance; so you are to make atonement for the temple.
21 “‘In the first month on the fourteenth day you are to observe the Passover,(L) a festival lasting seven days, during which you shall eat bread made without yeast. 22 On that day the prince is to provide a bull as a sin offering for himself and for all the people of the land.(M) 23 Every day during the seven days of the festival he is to provide seven bulls and seven rams(N) without defect as a burnt offering to the Lord, and a male goat for a sin offering.(O) 24 He is to provide as a grain offering(P) an ephah for each bull and an ephah for each ram, along with a hin[e] of olive oil for each ephah.(Q)
25 “‘During the seven days of the festival,(R) which begins in the seventh month on the fifteenth day, he is to make the same provision for sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings and oil.(S)
46 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: The gate of the inner court(T) facing east(U) is to be shut on the six working days, but on the Sabbath day and on the day of the New Moon(V) it is to be opened. 2 The prince is to enter from the outside through the portico(W) of the gateway and stand by the gatepost. The priests are to sacrifice his burnt offering(X) and his fellowship offerings. He is to bow down in worship at the threshold of the gateway and then go out, but the gate will not be shut until evening.(Y) 3 On the Sabbaths(Z) and New Moons the people of the land are to worship in the presence of the Lord at the entrance of that gateway.(AA) 4 The burnt offering the prince brings to the Lord on the Sabbath day is to be six male lambs and a ram, all without defect. 5 The grain offering given with the ram is to be an ephah,[f] and the grain offering with the lambs is to be as much as he pleases, along with a hin[g] of olive oil for each ephah.(AB) 6 On the day of the New Moon(AC) he is to offer a young bull, six lambs and a ram, all without defect.(AD) 7 He is to provide as a grain offering one ephah with the bull, one ephah with the ram, and with the lambs as much as he wants to give, along with a hin of oil for each ephah.(AE) 8 When the prince enters, he is to go in through the portico(AF) of the gateway, and he is to come out the same way.(AG)
9 “‘When the people of the land come before the Lord at the appointed festivals,(AH) whoever enters by the north gate to worship is to go out the south gate; and whoever enters by the south gate is to go out the north gate. No one is to return through the gate by which they entered, but each is to go out the opposite gate. 10 The prince is to be among them, going in when they go in and going out when they go out.(AI) 11 At the feasts and the appointed festivals, the grain offering is to be an ephah with a bull, an ephah with a ram, and with the lambs as much as he pleases, along with a hin of oil for each ephah.(AJ)
12 “‘When the prince provides(AK) a freewill offering(AL) to the Lord—whether a burnt offering or fellowship offerings—the gate facing east is to be opened for him. He shall offer his burnt offering or his fellowship offerings as he does on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and after he has gone out, the gate will be shut.(AM)
13 “‘Every day you are to provide a year-old lamb without defect for a burnt offering to the Lord; morning by morning(AN) you shall provide it.(AO) 14 You are also to provide with it morning by morning a grain offering, consisting of a sixth of an ephah[h] with a third of a hin[i] of oil(AP) to moisten the flour. The presenting of this grain offering to the Lord is a lasting ordinance.(AQ) 15 So the lamb and the grain offering and the oil shall be provided morning by morning for a regular(AR) burnt offering.(AS)
16 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: If the prince makes a gift from his inheritance to one of his sons, it will also belong to his descendants; it is to be their property by inheritance.(AT) 17 If, however, he makes a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, the servant may keep it until the year of freedom;(AU) then it will revert to the prince. His inheritance belongs to his sons only; it is theirs. 18 The prince must not take(AV) any of the inheritance(AW) of the people, driving them off their property. He is to give his sons their inheritance out of his own property, so that not one of my people will be separated from their property.’”
19 Then the man brought me through the entrance(AX) at the side of the gate to the sacred rooms facing north,(AY) which belonged to the priests, and showed me a place at the western end. 20 He said to me, “This is the place where the priests are to cook the guilt offering and the sin offering[j] and bake the grain offering, to avoid bringing them into the outer court and consecrating(AZ) the people.”(BA)
21 He then brought me to the outer court and led me around to its four corners, and I saw in each corner another court. 22 In the four corners of the outer court were enclosed[k] courts, forty cubits long and thirty cubits wide;[l] each of the courts in the four corners was the same size. 23 Around the inside of each of the four courts was a ledge of stone, with places for fire built all around under the ledge. 24 He said to me, “These are the kitchens where those who minister at the temple are to cook the sacrifices of the people.”

New King James Version
Living Before God Our Father
13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 as obedient children, not (A)conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; 15 (B)but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, (C)“Be holy, for I am holy.”
17 And if you call on the Father, who (D)without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your [a]stay here in fear; 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with [b]corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19 but (E)with the precious blood of Christ, (F)as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 20 (G)He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was [c]manifest (H)in these last times for you 21 who through Him believe in God, (I)who raised Him from the dead and (J)gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
The Enduring Word
22 Since you (K)have purified your souls in obeying the truth [d]through the Spirit in [e]sincere (L)love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, 23 (M)having been born again, not of [f]corruptible seed but [g]incorruptible, (N)through the word of God which lives and abides [h]forever, 24 because
(O)“All flesh is as grass,
And all [i]the glory of man as the flower of the grass.
The grass withers,
And its flower falls away,
25 (P)But the [j]word of the Lord endures forever.”
(Q)Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.
Our Inheritance Through Christ’s Blood
2 Therefore, (R)laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, 2 (S)as newborn babes, desire the pure (T)milk of the word, that you may grow [k]thereby, 3 if indeed you have (U)tasted that the Lord is gracious.
The Chosen Stone and His Chosen People(V)
4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, (W)rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,
(X)“Behold, I lay in Zion
A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,
And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”
7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who [l]are disobedient,
(Y)“The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone,”
8 and
(Z)“A stone of stumbling
And a rock of offense.”
(AA)They stumble, being disobedient to the word, (AB)to which they also were appointed.
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of (AC)darkness into His marvelous light; 10 (AD)who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

Be Holy
13 Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober,(A) set your hope(B) on the grace to be brought to you(C) when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming.(D) 14 As obedient(E) children, do not conform(F) to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.(G) 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;(H) 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”[a](I)
17 Since you call on a Father(J) who judges each person’s work(K) impartially,(L) live out your time as foreigners(M) here in reverent fear.(N) 18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed(O) from the empty way of life(P) handed down to you from your ancestors, 19 but with the precious blood(Q) of Christ, a lamb(R) without blemish or defect.(S) 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world,(T) but was revealed in these last times(U) for your sake. 21 Through him you believe in God,(V) who raised him from the dead(W) and glorified him,(X) and so your faith and hope(Y) are in God.
22 Now that you have purified(Z) yourselves by obeying(AA) the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply,(AB) from the heart.[b] 23 For you have been born again,(AC) not of perishable seed, but of imperishable,(AD) through the living and enduring word of God.(AE) 24 For,
“All people are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
25 but the word of the Lord endures forever.”[c](AF)
And this is the word that was preached to you.
2 Therefore, rid yourselves(AG) of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander(AH) of every kind. 2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk,(AI) so that by it you may grow up(AJ) in your salvation, 3 now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.(AK)
The Living Stone and a Chosen People
4 As you come to him, the living Stone(AL)—rejected by humans but chosen by God(AM) and precious to him— 5 you also, like living stones, are being built(AN) into a spiritual house[d](AO) to be a holy priesthood,(AP) offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.(AQ) 6 For in Scripture it says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,
a chosen and precious cornerstone,(AR)
and the one who trusts in him
will never be put to shame.”[e](AS)
7 Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,(AT)
8 and,
They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.(AX)
9 But you are a chosen people,(AY) a royal priesthood,(AZ) a holy nation,(BA) God’s special possession,(BB) that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.(BC) 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God;(BD) once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
