Ezekiel 45:1-9
Legacy Standard Bible

Yahweh’s Portion of the Land

45 “And when you (A)divide by lot the land for inheritance, you shall offer a (B)contribution to Yahweh, a (C)holy portion of the land; the length shall be the length of [a]25,000 (D)cubits, and the width shall be [b]20,000. It shall be holy within all its boundary round about. 2 Out of this there shall be for the holy place a square round about [c](E)five hundred by five hundred cubits, and [d]fifty cubits for its [e](F)open space round about. 3 And from this [f]area you shall measure a length of 25,000 cubits and a width of [g]10,000 cubits; and in it shall be the sanctuary, the Holy of Holies. 4 It shall be the holy portion of the land; it shall be for the (G)priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who (H)come near to minister to Yahweh, and it shall be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary. 5 And an area (I)25,000 cubits in length and 10,000 in width shall be for the Levites, the ministers of the house, and for their possession as [h]cities to dwell in.

6 “And you shall give the (J)city possession of an area [i]5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long, alongside the contribution of the holy portion; it shall be for the whole house of Israel.

The Prince’s Portion of the Land

7 “Now the (K)prince shall have land on either side of the holy contribution and the city’s possession of land, adjacent to the holy contribution and the city’s possession of land, on the west side toward the west and on the east side toward the east, and in length comparable to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border. 8 This shall be his land for a possession in Israel; so My princes shall no longer (L)mistreat My people, but they shall give the rest of the land to the house of Israel (M)according to their tribes.”

9 ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “(N)Enough, you princes of Israel; put away (O)violence and devastation, and (P)do justice and righteousness. Stop your (Q)eviction of My people,” declares Lord Yahweh.

The Lord’s Portion of the Land

45 “And when you (A)divide by lot the land for inheritance, you shall offer [a]an (B)allotment to the Lord, a (C)holy portion of the land; the length shall be the length of 25,000 (D)cubits, and the width shall be [b]20,000. It shall be holy within all its boundary round about. 2 Out of this there shall be for the holy place a square round about (E)five hundred by five hundred cubits, and fifty cubits for its [c](F)open space round about. 3 From this [d]area you shall measure a length of 25,000 cubits and a width of 10,000 cubits; and in it shall be the sanctuary, the most holy place. 4 It shall be the holy portion of the land; it shall be for the (G)priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who (H)come near to minister to the Lord, and it shall be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary. 5 An area (I)25,000 cubits in length and 10,000 in width shall be for the Levites, the ministers of the house, and for their possession [e]cities to dwell in.

6 “You shall give the (J)city possession of an area 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long, alongside the [f]allotment of the holy portion; it shall be for the whole house of Israel.

Portion for the Prince

7 “The (K)prince shall have land on either side of the holy [g]allotment and the [h]property of the city, adjacent to the holy [i]allotment and the [j]property of the city, on the west side toward the west and on the east side toward the east, and in length comparable to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border. 8 This shall be his land for a possession in Israel; so My princes shall no longer (L)oppress My people, but they shall give the rest of the land to the house of Israel (M)according to their tribes.”

9 ‘Thus says the Lord [k]God, “(N)Enough, you princes of Israel; put away (O)violence and destruction, and (P)practice justice and righteousness. Stop your (Q)expropriations from My people,” declares the Lord God.
