Ezequiel 45
La Palabra (España)
Reparto de la tierra. La parte del Señor
45 Cuando echéis a suertes el reparto de la tierra, reservaréis como ofrenda al Señor un terreno sagrado de doce mil quinientos metros de largo por diez mil de ancho. Será sagrado en toda su extensión. 2 De él se tomará para el santuario un cuadrado de doscientos cincuenta metros de lado, rodeado de una zona libre de veinticinco metros de ancho. 3 De todo el terreno acotaréis también un espacio de doce mil quinientos metros de largo por cinco mil de ancho; allí se construirá el santuario, el lugar santísimo. 4 Será el terreno sagrado del país, destinado a los sacerdotes que ofician en el santuario y que se acercan al Señor para servirle. Les servirá de solar para sus viviendas y de pasto para el ganado. 5 Los levitas que sirven en el Templo tendrán reservado un terreno de doce mil quinientos metros de largo por cinco mil de ancho, para que tengan una propiedad donde habitar. 6 Como área urbana fijaréis un terreno de dos mil quinientos metros de ancho por doce mil quinientos de largo, junto a la parte reservada al santuario. Será propiedad de toda la comunidad de Israel.
La parte del príncipe
7 Al príncipe se le asignarán territorios a ambos lados del terreno reservado al santuario y al área urbana; ocuparán el espacio que discurre a lo largo de la linde del terreno reservado al santuario y del reservado al área urbana, y llegarán hasta el mar por occidente y hasta la frontera por oriente. Desde la frontera marítima a la frontera oriental habrá una longitud igual a cada una de las partes sorteadas para las tribus. 8 Esta será su propiedad en Israel y así mis príncipes no volverán a oprimir a mi pueblo; a los israelitas, por tribus, se les asignará el resto de la tierra. 9 Esto dice el Señor Dios: ¡Ya está bien, príncipes de Israel! ¡Ya está bien de violencia y rapiña! Practicad el derecho y la justicia, dejad ya de expropiar a mi pueblo —oráculo del Señor Dios—. 10 Ocupaos de que las balanzas no estén trucadas y de que las pesas y las medidas sean las correctas. 11 La medida base será igual para líquidos y sólidos, a saber, de una capacidad de veintidós litros. 12 En cuanto al siclo equivaldrá a veinte gueras; veinte siclos más veinticinco siclos, más quince siclos equivaldrán a una mina.
Ofrendas y sacrificios para el culto
13 Esta será la ofrenda que haréis: por cada doscientos kilos de trigo o de cebada, ofreceréis tres kilos y medio. 14 En cuanto a la cosecha de aceite, esta será la norma: por cada doscientos veinte litros, ofreceréis dos litros y cuarto de aceite. 15 Y por cada rebaño de doscientas cabezas que pasten en los prados de Israel se reservará una oveja para hacer ofrendas, holocaustos y sacrificios de comunión, que les sirvan de expiación. 16 Toda la población presentará esta ofrenda a favor del príncipe de Israel. 17 El príncipe será responsable de los holocaustos, las ofrendas de cereales y las libaciones en las fiestas, novilunios y sábados, así como en todas las solemnidades que celebren los israelitas; también él ofrecerá el sacrificio expiatorio, la ofrenda de cereales, el holocausto y los sacrificios de comunión, que servirán para expiar los pecados de Israel.
Sacrificios y fiestas específicos
18 Esto dice el Señor Dios: El día uno del primer mes tomarás un novillo sin defecto y lo sacrificarás para purificar el santuario. 19 El sacerdote tomará parte de la sangre de la víctima y untará con ella las jambas del Templo, los cuatro ángulos del zócalo del altar y las jambas del pórtico del atrio interior. 20 Lo mismo harás el día siete de cada mes por quien haya pecado por inadvertencia o irreflexión, y así haréis la expiación del Templo. 21 El día catorce del primer mes celebraréis la fiesta de la Pascua; durante siete días comeréis pan sin levadura. 22 Ese día el príncipe ofrecerá por él y por toda la gente del pueblo un novillo como sacrificio expiatorio. 23 Durante los siete días de la fiesta ofrecerá diariamente como holocausto al Señor siete novillos y siete carneros sin defecto, y un macho cabrío diario como víctima expiatoria. 24 Como oblación de cereales ofrecerá veintidós kilos de cereal por cada novillo y otro tanto por cada carnero, más cuatro litros de aceite por cada veintidós kilos de cereal. 25 El día quince del séptimo mes, con ocasión del comienzo de la fiesta, ofrecerá lo mismo durante siete días: sacrificio expiatorio, holocausto, oblación de cereales y aceite.
Ezekiel 45
New King James Version
The Holy District
45 “Moreover, when you (A)divide the land by lot into inheritance, you shall (B)set apart a district for the Lord, a holy section of the land; its length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits, and the width ten thousand. It shall be holy throughout its territory all around. 2 Of this there shall be a square plot for the sanctuary, (C)five hundred by five hundred rods, with fifty cubits around it for an open space. 3 So this is the district you shall measure: twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand wide; (D)in it shall be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place. 4 It shall be (E)a holy section of the land, belonging to the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who come near to minister to the Lord; it shall be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary. 5 (F)An area twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand wide shall belong to the Levites, the ministers of the [a]temple; they shall have (G)twenty[b] chambers as a possession.
Properties of the City and the Prince
6 (H)“You shall appoint as the property of the city an area five thousand cubits wide and twenty-five thousand long, adjacent to the district of the holy section; it shall belong to the whole house of Israel.
7 (I)“The prince shall have a section on one side and the other of the holy district and the city’s property; and bordering on the holy district and the city’s property, extending westward on the west side and eastward on the east side, the length shall be side by side with one of the tribal portions, from the west border to the east border. 8 The land shall be his possession in Israel; and (J)My princes shall no more oppress My people, but they shall give the rest of the land to the house of Israel, according to their tribes.”
Laws Governing the Prince
9 ‘Thus says the Lord God: (K)“Enough, O princes of Israel! (L)Remove violence and plundering, execute justice and righteousness, and stop dispossessing My people,” says the Lord God. 10 “You shall have (M)honest scales, an honest ephah, and an honest bath. 11 The ephah and the bath shall be of the same measure, so that the bath contains one-tenth of a homer, and the ephah one-tenth of a homer; their measure shall be according to the homer. 12 The (N)shekel shall be twenty gerahs; twenty shekels, twenty-five shekels, and fifteen shekels shall be your mina.
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, (O)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 (P)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(Q)
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 (R)cleanse the sanctuary. 19 (S)The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the [c]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 (T)for everyone who has sinned unintentionally or in ignorance. Thus you shall make atonement for the temple.
21 (U)“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 (V)a bull for a sin offering. 23 On the (W)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, (X)and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering. 24 (Y)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 (Z)feast, he shall do likewise for seven days, according to the sin offering, the burnt offering, the grain offering, and the oil.”

New International Version
Israel Fully Restored
45 “‘When you allot the land as an inheritance,(A) you are to present to the Lord a portion of the land as a sacred district, 25,000 cubits[a] long and 20,000[b] cubits[c] wide; the entire area will be holy.(B) 2 Of this, a section 500 cubits[d] square(C) is to be for the sanctuary, with 50 cubits[e] around it for open land. 3 In the sacred district, measure off a section 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits[f] wide. In it will be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place. 4 It will be the sacred portion of the land for the priests,(D) who minister in the sanctuary and who draw near to minister before the Lord. It will be a place for their houses as well as a holy place for the sanctuary.(E) 5 An area 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide will belong to the Levites, who serve in the temple, as their possession for towns to live in.[g](F)
6 “‘You are to give the city as its property an area 5,000 cubits[h] wide and 25,000 cubits long, adjoining the sacred portion; it will belong to all Israel.(G)
7 “‘The prince will have the land bordering each side of the area formed by the sacred district and the property of the city. It will extend westward from the west side and eastward from the east side, running lengthwise from the western to the eastern border parallel to one of the tribal portions.(H) 8 This land will be his possession in Israel. And my princes will no longer oppress my people but will allow the people of Israel to possess the land according to their tribes.(I)
9 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: You have gone far enough, princes of Israel! Give up your violence and oppression(J) and do what is just and right.(K) Stop dispossessing my people, declares the Sovereign Lord. 10 You are to use accurate scales,(L) an accurate ephah[i](M) and an accurate bath.[j] 11 The ephah(N) and the bath are to be the same size, the bath containing a tenth of a homer and the ephah a tenth of a homer; the homer is to be the standard measure for both. 12 The shekel[k] is to consist of twenty gerahs.(O) Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels equal one mina.[l]
13 “‘This is the special gift you are to offer: a sixth of an ephah[m] from each homer of wheat and a sixth of an ephah[n] from each homer of barley. 14 The prescribed portion of olive oil, measured by the bath, is a tenth of a bath[o] 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(P) and fellowship offerings to make atonement(Q) 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(R) and the Sabbaths(S)—at all the appointed festivals of Israel. He will provide the sin offerings,[p] grain offerings, burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to make atonement for the Israelites.(T)
18 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: In the first month(U) on the first day you are to take a young bull without defect(V) and purify the sanctuary.(W) 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(X) of the altar(Y) 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(Z) 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,(AA) 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.(AB) 23 Every day during the seven days of the festival he is to provide seven bulls and seven rams(AC) without defect as a burnt offering to the Lord, and a male goat for a sin offering.(AD) 24 He is to provide as a grain offering(AE) an ephah for each bull and an ephah for each ram, along with a hin[q] of olive oil for each ephah.(AF)
25 “‘During the seven days of the festival,(AG) 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.(AH)
