Old/New Testament
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.
46 Thus says the Lord GOD: “The gate of the inner court that turns toward the East shall be shut for the six working days. But on the Sabbath, it shall be opened. And on the day of the new moon, it shall be opened.
2 “And the prince shall enter by way of the porch of that outside gate and shall stand by the post of the gate. And the priest shall make his Burnt Offering and his Peace Offerings; and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate. Afterward, he shall go forth. But the gate shall not be shut until the evening.
3 “Likewise, the people of the land shall worship at the entry of this gate, before the LORD, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons.
4 “And the Burnt Offering that the prince shall offer to the LORD on the Sabbath Day shall be six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish.
5 “And the Meat Offering shall be an ephah for a ram. And the Meat Offering for the lambs shall be a gift of his hand, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
6 “And on the day of the new moon, it shall be a young bullock without blemish and six lambs and a ram. They shall be without blemish.
7 “And he shall prepare a Meat Offering: an ephah for a bullock and an ephah for a ram. And he shall bring according as his hand for the lambs, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
8 “And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by way of the porch of that gate; and he shall go forth by that way.
9 “But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the solemn Feasts, he who enters in by way of the North gate to worship shall go out by way of the South gate. And he who enters by way of the South gate shall go forth by way of the North gate. He shall not return by way of the gate by which he came in; but they shall go forth opposite it.
10 “And the prince shall be in the midst of them. He shall go in when they go in; and when they go forth, they shall all go forth.
11 “And on the Feasts, and at the appointed times, the Meat Offering shall be an ephah to a bullock and an ephah to a ram, and the gift of his hand to the lambs and a hin of oil to an ephah.
12 “Now when the prince shall make a free Burnt Offering, or Peace Offerings freely to the LORD, one shall then open the gate that turns toward the East for him, and he shall make his Burnt Offering and his Peace Offerings, as he did on the Sabbath Day. Afterward, he shall go forth; and when he has gone forth, one shall shut the gate.
13 “You shall make a daily Burnt Offering to the LORD of a lamb of one year, without blemish. You shall do so every morning.
14 “And you shall prepare a Meat Offering for it every morning, a sixth of an ephah and a third of a hin of oil, to mingle with the fine flour. Meat Offering shall be given continually to the LORD, by a perpetual Ordinance.
15 “Thus shall they prepare the lamb and the Meat Offering and the oil every morning, for a continual Burnt Offering.”
16 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “If the prince gives a gift of his inheritance to any of his sons, it shall be his son’s. It shall be their possession by inheritance.
17 “But, if he gives a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his until the Year of Liberty. After that, it shall return to the prince. But his inheritance shall remain his sons’, for them.
18 “Moreover, the prince shall not take from the people’s inheritance or thrust them out from their possession. He shall cause his sons to inherit his own possessions, so that My people are not scattered, every man from his possessions.”’”
19 Afterward, he brought me through the entry which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which stood toward the North. And behold, there was a place on the west side of them.
20 Then he said to me, “This is the place where the priests shall boil the Trespass Offering and the Sin Offering, and where they shall bake the Meat Offering, so that they should not carry them into the outer court, to sanctify the people.”
21 Then he brought me forth into the outer court and caused me to go by the four corners of the court. And behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.
22 In the four corners of the court there were enclosed courts of forty cubits long and thirty wide. These four corners were of the same size.
23 And a wall went around them, around those four; and kitchens were made under the walls, all around.
24 Then said he to me, “This is the kitchen where the ministers of the House shall boil the sacrifice of the people.”
2 My little children, these things I write to you so that you do not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father: Jesus Christ, the Just.
2 And He is the reconciliation for our sins; and not only for ours, but also for the whole world.
3 And by this we are sure that we know Him: if we keep His Commandments.
4 The one who says, “I know him,” and does not keep His Commandments, is a liar. And the truth is not in him.
5 But whoever keeps His Word, in him is the love of God accomplished. By this we know that we are in Him.
6 Whoever says that he remains in Him, ought still to walk as He has walked.
7 Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old Commandment which you have had from the beginning. This old Commandment is that Word which you have heard from the beginning.
8 On the other hand, a new Commandment I do write to you (which is true in Him and also in you). For the darkness is passing, and the true Light now shines.
9 Whoever says that he is in the Light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.
10 Whoever loves his brother, abides in the Light. And there is no stumbling block in him.
11 But whoever hates his brother, is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and does not know where he goes, because that darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 Little children, I write to you because your sins are forgiven for His Name’s sake.
13 I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him Who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father.
14 I have written to you, fathers, because you have known Him Who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the Word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.
15 Love neither this world nor the things which are in this world. If anyone loves this world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in this world (the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life), is not of the Father, but is of this world.
17 And this world passes away, and the lust thereof. But whoever fulfills the will of God, abides forever.
18 Little children, it is the last hour. And just as you have heard that Antichrist shall come, so now there are many Antichrists (by which we know that it is the last hour).
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But this is so that all of those who were not of us are revealed.
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One and know all things.
21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it (and no lie comes from the truth).
22 Who is a liar, except the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is Antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.
23 Whoever denies the Son, the same does not have the Father.
24 Therefore, let that same which you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, you shall also continue in the Son and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that He has promised us: eternal life.
26 These things I have written to you concerning those who deceive you.
27 But that anointing which you received from Him dwells in you. And you do not need anyone to teach you. But as that same anointing teaches you of all things - and it is true, and not lying, and as it is taught to you - you shall abide in Him.
28 And now, little children, abide in Him. So that when He shall appear, we may be bold and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that whoever does righteously is born of Him.
