Ezekiel 45
Revised Geneva Translation
45 “Moreover, when you shall divide the land for inheritance, you shall offer an oblation to the LORD, a holy portion of the land, twenty-five thousand reeds long and ten thousand wide. This shall be holy within all its borders, all around.
2 “Of this, there shall be for the Sanctuary five hundred in length and five hundred in width, all square all around, and fifty cubits all around for its suburbs.
3 “And of this measure shall you measure: the length of twenty-five thousand and the width of ten thousand. And in it shall be the Sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.
4 “The holy portion of the land shall be the Priest’s, who ministers in the Sanctuary, who comes near to serve the LORD. And it shall be a place for their housing and a holy place for the Sanctuary.
5 “And within the twenty-five thousand of length and the ten thousand of width shall the Levites who minister in the House have their possessions for twenty chambers.
6 “Also, you shall appoint five thousand wide and twenty-five thousand long as a possession of the city, alongside 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 one side, and for the oblation of the holy portion on the other side, and for the possession of the city, before the oblation of the holy portion, and before the possession of the city, from the West corner Westward and from the East corner Eastward. And the length shall be the same as one of the portions from the West border to the East border.
8 “In this land shall be his possession in Israel. And My princes shall no longer oppress My people. And the rest of the land shall they give to the House of Israel, according to their tribes.”
9 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel. Cease all cruelty and oppression and execute judgment and justice. Take away your violence from My people,” says the Lord GOD.
10 “You shall have just balances and a true ephah and a true bath.
11 “The ephah and the bath shall be equal. A bath shall contain a tenth of an homer, and an ephah a tenth of an homer. Its equality shall be after the homer.
12 “And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs. Twenty shekels and twenty-five shekels and fifteen shekels shall be your mina.
13 “This is the oblation that you shall offer: a sixth of an ephah of an homer of wheat. And you shall give a sixth of an ephah of an homer of barley.
14 “Concerning the Ordinance of the oil, of the bath of oil: you shall offer a tenth of a bath out of the cor (ten baths are an homer, for ten baths fill an homer)
15 “and one lamb of two hundred sheep, 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,” says the Lord GOD.
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 on the solemn Feasts and on the new moons and on the Sabbaths, on all the High Feasts 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 says the Lord GOD: “In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall take a young bullock, without blemish, and cleanse the Sanctuary.
19 “And the Priest shall take from the blood of the Sin Offering and put it upon the posts of the House and upon the four corners of the frame of the Altar and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.
20 “And so shall you do on the seventh day of the month, for everyone who has erred, and for him who is deceived. So shall you reconcile the House.
21 “In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall have the Passover, a Feast of seven days. You shall eat unleavened bread.
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 on the seven days of the Feast, he shall make a Burnt Offering to the LORD of seven bullocks and seven rams, and also a male goat for a Sin Offering, each without blemish, for seven days.
24 “And he shall prepare a Meat Offering of an ephah for a bullock, an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil for an ephah.
25 “In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, he shall do the same during the feast, for seven days, according to the Sin Offering, according to the Burnt Offering, and according to the Meat Offering, and according to the oil.
Ezekiel 45
American Standard Version
45 Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto Jehovah, [a]a holy portion of the land; the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand reeds, and the breadth shall be [b]ten thousand: it shall be holy in all the border thereof round about. 2 Of 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 [c]suburbs thereof round about. 3 And 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. 4 It 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. 5 And 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 [d]twenty chambers. 6 And 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. 7 And 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. 8 [e]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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute justice and righteousness; take away your [f]exactions from my people, saith the Lord Jehovah. 10 Ye 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 a homer, and the ephah the tenth part of a 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 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; 14 and 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); 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, saith the Lord Jehovah. 16 All the people of the land [g]shall give unto this oblation for the prince in Israel. 17 And 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 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. 19 And 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. 20 And 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.
21 In 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. 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 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. 24 And 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. 25 In 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.
