Ezequiel 45
O Livro
A divisão da terra
45 Ao repartirem a terra pelas tribos de Israel, darão primeiramente uma área ao Senhor como sua porção sagrada. Esta zona deverá ter 12,5 quilómetros de comprimento por 10 quilómetros de largura. Esse solo será sagrado. 2 Uma secção dessa terra, com 250 metros quadrados, será atribuída para edificação do templo. Acrescentar-se-lhe-á uma zona adicional de 25 metros em toda a volta que deverá ficar vazia. 3 Metade dessa área, isto é, um terreno com 12,5 quilómetros de comprimento e 5 quilómetros de largura, deverá ser separado para o templo. 4 Toda essa porção de solo será terra santíssima; será usada pelos sacerdotes que servem no santuário, para as suas casas, ao mesmo tempo que é o sítio do meu templo. 5 A zona adstrita a esta, de 12,5 quilómetros de comprimento e de 5 quilómetros de largura, servirá de zona de residência para os levitas que trabalham no templo.
6 Adjacente a esse local santo haverá uma secção de terreno de 12,5 quilómetros por 2,5 quilómetros que ficará aberta a toda a gente em Israel.
7 Duas zonas especiais da terra serão postas de parte para o príncipe, uma de cada lado desse local santo e dessa secção aberta a todos; confinará com estas no seu comprimento; os seus limites, tanto a ocidente como a oriente, são os mesmos que os das zonas atribuídas às tribos. 8 Este será o seu lote. Os meus príncipes não mais oprimirão nem defraudarão o povo. Deverão, portanto, atribuir tudo o que restar da terra do povo, dando uma porção a cada tribo.
9 Diz o Senhor Deus aos governantes: Deixem de explorar e correr com o meu povo para fora da terra pela violência, despojando-o dos seus lares. Procurem sempre agir com justiça e honestidade. 10 Apliquem a justiça em tudo o que seja medições, balanças ou escalas de medida. 11 O homer[a] será a vossa unidade de base, tanto para medir líquidos como sólidos. As medidas inferiores serão o efa[b] para os sólidos e o bato[c] para os líquidos. 12 A unidade de peso será o siclo[d] de prata e valerá sempre vinte geras, e não menos do que isso; cinco siclos valem mesmo cinco siclos e nunca menos; dez siclos são mesmo dez siclos; sessenta siclos equivalem a uma mina[e].
Ofertas e dias santos
13 As vossas ofertas deverão ser feitas da seguinte maneira: devem dar uma medida em cada sessenta das vossas colheitas de trigo e de cevada. 14 Devem dar um por cento do vosso azeite; meçam o azeite com um bato, que é a décima parte do homer, e é igualmente a décima parte do coro[f]. 15 Quanto ao gado, por cada duzentas ovelhas dos vossos rebanhos em Israel darão uma. Estas são as ofertas de alimentos, holocaustos e ofertas de paz, para fazer a expiação por aqueles que as trouxerem, diz o Senhor Deus. 16 Todo o povo de Israel deverá trazer as suas ofertas ao príncipe de Israel. 17 O príncipe terá a obrigação de fornecer ao povo todos os sacrifícios necessários para as celebrações de adoração pública; ofertas pelo pecado, holocaustos, ofertas de vinho, de alimentos e de paz, para fazer expiação pelo povo de Israel. Isto será por altura das festas religiosas, das cerimónias da lua nova, dos sábados e de todas as outras ocasiões semelhantes.
18 Diz o Senhor Deus: No primeiro dia de cada ano novo[g] sacrifiquem um novilho, sem defeito, para purificar o templo. 19 O sacerdote pegará em parte do sangue desta oferta pelo pecado e pô-lo-á nos umbrais da porta do templo e sobre os quatro cantos da base do altar, e ainda sobre as paredes da entrada do pátio interior. 20 Façam isto também no sétimo dia desse mesmo primeiro mês por alguém que tenha pecado por erro ou ignorância; e assim o templo ficará purificado.
21 No dia 14 do primeiro mês celebrarão a Páscoa. Durante sete dias comerão pão sem fermento. 22 Nesses dias comer-se-á unicamente pão sem fermento. No dia de Páscoa o príncipe fornecerá um novilho para ser apresentado como oferta pelo pecado, por si próprio e pelo povo de Israel. 23 E em cada um dos sete dias seguintes dessa celebração devem preparar um holocausto ao Senhor. Esta oferta diária consistirá em sete novilhos e sete carneiros sem qualquer defeito. Um bode será também ofertado diariamente por expiação do pecado. 24 O príncipe fornecerá 3,8 litros de grão para oferta de cereais, 22 litros por cada um dos novilhos e carneiros, e 3,8 litros de azeite para acompanhar cada efa de grão.
25 Durante os sete dias da festa dos tabernáculos, que se realiza no décimo quinto dia do sétimo mês[h], o príncipe fornecerá os mesmos sacrifícios para a expiação do pecado; os holocaustos, as ofertas de cereais e as ofertas de azeite.

Ezekiel 45
World English Bible
45 “‘“Moreover, when you divide by lot the land for inheritance, you shall offer an offering to Yahweh, a holy portion of the land. The length shall be the length of twenty-five thousand reeds, and the width shall be ten thousand. It shall be holy in all its border all around. 2 Of this there shall be a five hundred by five hundred square for the holy place, and fifty cubits[a] for its pasture lands all around. 3 Of this measure you shall measure a length of twenty-five thousand, and a width of ten thousand. 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, who come near to minister to Yahweh. It shall be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary. 5 Twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width shall be for the Levites, the ministers of the house, as a possession for themselves, for twenty rooms.
6 “‘“You shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand cubits wide and twenty-five thousand long, side by side with the offering of the holy portion. It shall be for the whole house of Israel.
7 “‘“What is for the prince shall be on the one side and on the other side of the holy allotment and of the possession of the city, in front of the holy allotment and in front of the possession of the city, on the west side westward, and on the east side eastward, and in length corresponding to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border. 8 In the land it shall be to him for a possession in Israel. My princes shall no more oppress my people, but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.”
9 “‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Enough you, princes of Israel! Remove violence and plunder, and execute justice and righteousness! Stop dispossessing my people!” says the Lord Yahweh. 10 “You shall have just balances, a just ephah,[b] and a just bath. 11 The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain one tenth of a homer,[c] and the ephah one tenth of a homer. Its measure shall be the same as the homer. 12 The shekel[d] shall be twenty gerahs.[e] Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels shall be your mina.[f]
13 “‘“This is the offering that you shall offer: the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of wheat, and you 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, one tenth of a bath out of the cor, which is ten baths, even a homer (for ten baths are a homer),[g] 15 and one lamb of the flock out of two hundred, from the well-watered pastures of Israel—for a meal offering, for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make atonement for them,” says the Lord Yahweh. 16 “All the people of the land shall give to this offering for the prince in Israel. 17 It shall be the prince’s part to give the burnt offerings, 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, the meal offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.”
18 “‘The Lord Yahweh says: “In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall take a young bull without defect, and you shall cleanse the sanctuary. 19 The priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the door posts of the house, and on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the posts of the gate of the inner court. 20 So you shall do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who errs, and for him who is simple. So you shall make atonement for the house.
21 “‘“In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall have the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten. 22 On that day the prince shall prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering. 23 The seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to Yahweh, seven bulls and seven rams without defect daily the seven days; and a male goat daily for a sin offering. 24 He shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah[h] for a bull, an ephah for a ram, and a hin[i] of oil to an ephah.
25 “‘“In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, during the feast, he shall do like that for seven days. He shall make the same provision for sin offering, the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the oil.”

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)

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.”
