Old/New Testament

45 And when ye shall begin to part the land by parts, separate ye the first things to the Lord, an hallowed thing of the land, five and twenty thousand of reeds in length (twenty-five thousand rods in length), and ten thousand of reeds in breadth (and ten thousand rods in breadth); it shall be hallowed in all the coast thereof by compass. (And when ye shall begin to divide the land in parts, separate ye the first things to the Lord, a hallowed, or a holy, portion of the land, twenty-five thousand cubits^[a] in length, and ten thousand cubits in breadth/and twenty thousand cubits, in breadth; all of this portion shall be hallowed, or shall be dedicated to the Lord.)

² And it shall be hallowed on each part in five hundred reeds (five hundred rods), by five hundred, in four sides by compass, and in fifty cubits into the suburbs thereof by compass. (And for the Temple shall be a portion five hundred cubits, by five hundred, on four sides all around, with fifty cubits of open space on each side all around it.)

³ And from this measure thou shalt mete the length of five and twenty thousand of reeds (the length of twenty-five thousand rods), and the breadth of ten thousand; and the temple and the holy of holy things shall be in it. (And from this area thou shalt measure the length of twenty-five thousand cubits, and the breadth of ten thousand; and the Temple and the Holy of Holies, that is, the Most Holy Place, shall be there within it.)

⁴ An hallowed thing of the land shall be to (the) priests, the ministers of the saintuary, that nigh to the service of the Lord; and a place shall be to them into houses, and into the saintuary of holiness. (A hallowed portion of the land shall be for the priests, the ministers, or the servants, of the sanctuary, who come near to serve the Lord; and a place shall be for their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary.)

⁵ Soothly five and twenty thousand of length shall be, and ten thousand of breadth; but the deacons that minister to the house, they shall have in possession twenty chambers. (And twenty-five thousand cubits in length, and ten thousand in breadth, shall be for the Levites, who serve in the Temple; and there will be suburbs there for them to live in.)

⁶ And ye shall give the possession of the city, five thousand reeds of breadth (five thousand rods of breadth), and five and twenty thousand of length, by the separating of the saintuary, to all the house of Israel. (And ye shall make a possession for a city, five thousand cubits in breadth, and twenty-five thousand in length, beside the separated place for the sanctuary, for all the house of Israel.)

⁷ And ye shall give a portion to the prince on this side and on that side, beside the separating of the saintuary, and beside the possession of the city, against the face of (the) separating of the saintuary, and against the face of (the) possession of the city (And ye shall give a portion to the prince on this side and on that side, beside the separated place for the sanctuary, and the possession for the city, facing the separated place for the sanctuary, and the possession for the city); from the side of the sea till to the sea, and from the side of the east till to the east, shall be of the possession of the prince. Forsooth the length by each of the parts, from the west end till to the east end of the land,

⁸ shall be (the) possession to him in Israel; and the princes shall no more rob my people, but they shall give (the rest of) the land to the house of Israel, by the lineages of them. (shall be his possession in Israel; and then the princes shall no more rob my people, but they shall give the rest of the land to the house of Israel, by all their tribes.)

⁹ The Lord God saith these things, O! princes of Israel, suffice it to you, leave ye wickedness and raven, and do ye doom and rightfulness; part ye your nigh coasts from my people, saith the Lord God. (The Lord God saith these things, O! princes of Israel, suffice it to you, leave ye behind wickedness and robbery, and do ye law and justice, or what is right; never again shall ye separate my people from their land, saith the Lord God.)

¹⁰ A just balance, and a just measure [of dry things] called ephah, and a just measure [of flowing things] called bath, shall be to you.

¹¹ Ephah and bath shall be even, and of one measure (An ephah and a bath shall be equal, and of one measure), (so) that (a) bath take the tenth part of the measure called (a) cor, and that (an) ephah take the tenth part of the measure (called a) cor; by the measure of (a) cor shall be even weighing of those.

¹² Forsooth a shekel shall have twenty halfpence; certainly twenty shekels, and five and twenty shekels, and fifteen shekels (shall) make a bezant.

¹³ And these be the first fruits which ye shall take away (And these be the first fruits which ye shall offer); the sixth part of (an) ephah of a cor of wheat, and the sixth part of (an) ephah of a cor of barley.

¹⁴ Also the measure of oil; a bath of oil is the tenth part of (a) cor, and ten baths make one cor; for ten baths fill one cor (for ten baths equal one cor).

¹⁵ And one ram, either wether, of the flock of two hundred, of these which the men of Israel nourish, into sacrifice, and into burnt sacrifice, and into peaceable sacrifices, to cleanse for them, saith the Lord God. (And one ram, or one wether, from the flock, out of every two hundred, of those which the Israelites raise. All of these things for a sacrifice, and for a burnt sacrifice, and for peace offerings, to make amends for them, saith the Lord God.)

¹⁶ All the people of the land shall be bound in these first fruits to the prince in Israel. (All the people of the land shall bring these first fruits to the prince in Israel.)

¹⁷ And on the (part of the) prince shall be burnt sacrifices, and sacrifice(s), and moist sacrifices, in solemnities, and in calends, either (the) beginnings of months, and in sabbaths, and in all the solemnities of the house of Israel; he shall make (ready the) sacrifice for sin, and (the) burnt sacrifice, and (the) peaceable sacrifices, to cleanse for the house of Israel. (And the prince shall provide the burnt sacrifices, and the sacrifices, and the wine offerings, for the feasts, and on calends, or at the beginning of the months, and on sabbaths, and for all the solemn feasts of the house of Israel; he shall provide the sacrifice for sin, and the burnt sacrifice, and the peace offerings, to make amends for the house of Israel.)

¹⁸ The Lord God saith these things, In the first month, in the first day of the month, thou shalt take a calf without wem of the drove, and thou shalt cleanse the saintuary. (The Lord God saith these things, In the first month, on the first day of the month, thou shalt take a calf without blemish, or without fault, from the herd, and thou shalt cleanse, or thou shalt purify, the sanctuary.)

¹⁹ And the priest shall take of the blood of the beast that shall be for sin; and he shall put in the posts of the house (of the Lord), and in (the) four corners of the height of the altar, and in the posts of the gate of the inner foreyard. (And the priest shall take the blood of the beast that shall be for the sin offering; and he shall put it on the posts of the Temple, and on the four corners on the top of the altar, and on the gateposts of the inner courtyard.)

²⁰ And thus thou shalt do in the seventh day of the month, for each that knew not, and was deceived by error, and thou shalt cleanse for the house. (And thus thou shalt do on the seventh day of the month, for all who knew not, and were deceived by error, and so thou shalt make amends for the Temple, or shalt keep it holy.)

²¹ In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, the solemnity of pask shall be to you; therf loaves shall be eaten by seven days. (In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the Feast of Passover; unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days.)

²² And the prince shall make (ready) a calf for sin in that day, for himself and for all the people of the land. (And on that day, the prince shall provide a calf for a sin offering, for himself and for all the people of the land.)

²³ And in the solemnity of seven days he shall make burnt sacrifice to the Lord; he shall offer seven calves and seven wethers without wem each day, by seven days, and each day a buck of goats, for sin. (And for the seven days of the feast he shall provide a burnt sacrifice to the Lord; for seven days, each day he shall offer seven calves and seven rams without blemish, or without fault, and also each day a goat-buck for a sin offering.)

²⁴ And he shall make the sacrifice of ephah by a calf, and of ephah by a wether, and of oil the measure hin, by each ephah. (And he shall provide a sacrifice of an ephah of grain with each calf, and with each ram, and the measure of a hin of oil with each ephah.)

²⁵ In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, in the solemnity, he shall make as those be before-said, by seven days, as well for sin, as for burnt sacrifice, and in sacrifice, and in oil. (And in the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, for the seven days of the feast, he shall provide what was before-said, that is, the sin offering, and the burnt sacrifice, and the grain sacrifice, and the oil.)

46 The Lord God saith these things, The gate of the inner foreyard, that beholdeth to the east, shall be closed six days in which work is done; for it shall be opened in the day of sabbath, but also it shall be opened in the day of calends. (The Lord God saith these things, The gate of the inner courtyard, that faceth east, shall be closed for the six days in which work is done; it shall be opened only on the day of sabbath, and on the day of calends.)

² And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate withoutforth, and he shall stand in the threshold of the gate; and priests shall make the burnt sacrifice of him, and the peaceable sacrifices of him; and he shall worship on the threshold of the gate, and he shall go out; forsooth the gate shall not be closed till to the eventide. (And the prince shall enter by way of the porch of the gate from the outside, and he shall stand at the gate’s threshold; and the priests shall offer his burnt sacrifice, and his peace offerings; and he shall worship at the gate’s threshold, and then he shall go out; and the gate shall not be closed until the evening.)

³ And the people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate, in sabbaths, and in calends, before the Lord. (And the people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate, on sabbaths, and on calends, before the Lord.)

⁴ Forsooth the prince shall offer this burnt sacrifice to the Lord in the day of sabbath, six lambs without wem, and a wether without wem, (And the prince shall offer this burnt sacrifice to the Lord on the day of sabbath, six lambs without blemish, or without fault, and a ram without blemish,)

⁵ and the sacrifice of ephah by a wether; but in the lambs he shall offer the sacrifice which his hand shall give, and of oil the measure hin, by each ephah. (and the sacrifice of an ephah of grain with the ram; and with each lamb he shall offer a sacrifice of whatever his hand shall give, and the measure of a hin of oil, with each ephah.)

⁶ But in the day of calends he shall offer a calf without wem of the drove; and six lambs, and wethers shall be without wem, (And on the day of calends he shall offer a calf of the herd without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram, which shall also be without blemish.)

⁷ and ephah by a calf. Also he shall make the sacrifice, ephah by a wether; but of lambs as his hand findeth, and of oil the measure hin, by each ephah. (And he shall provide the sacrifice of an ephah of grain with the calf, and another ephah of grain with the ram; and with the lambs whatever his hand may find; and the measure of a hin of oil with each ephah.)

⁸ And when the prince shall enter, enter he by the way of the porch of the gate, and go he out by the same way.

⁹ And when the people of the land shall enter in the sight of the Lord into (the) solemnities, which people entereth by the gate of the north for to worship, go it out by the way of the south gate. Certainly the people that entereth by the way of the south gate, go (it) out by the way of the north gate. It shall not turn again by the way of the gate by which it entered, but even against that way it shall go out. (And when the people of the land shall enter before the Lord for the feasts, which people entereth by the north gate to worship, go they out by the way of the south gate. And the people who entereth by the south gate, go they out by the way of the north gate. They shall not return by the gate by which they entered, but they shall go out by the opposite way.)

¹⁰ Forsooth the prince shall be in the midst of them; he shall enter with them that enter, and he shall go out with them that go out. (And the prince shall be in their midst; he shall go in with those who go in, and he shall go out with those who go out.)

¹¹ And in fairs and in solemnities, the sacrifice of ephah shall be by a calf, and ephah by a wether; in lambs shall be sacrifice as his hand findeth, and of oil the measure hin, by each ephah. (And at feasts and at solemn feasts, the sacrifice of an ephah of grain shall be given with a calf, and another ephah of grain with a ram; and with the lambs the sacrifice shall be such as his hand may find; and the measure of a hin of oil, with each ephah.)

¹² Forsooth when the prince maketh a willful burnt sacrifice, either willful peaceable sacrifice(s) to the Lord, the gate that beholdeth to the east shall be opened to him; and he shall make his burnt sacrifice, and his peaceable sacrifices, as it is wont to be done in the day of sabbath; and he shall go out, and the gate shall be closed after that he went out. (And when the prince provideth a voluntary burnt sacrifice, or peace offerings to the Lord, the gate that faceth east shall be opened for him; and he shall make his burnt sacrifice, and his peace offerings, as it is wont to be done on the day of sabbath; and then he shall go out, and the gate shall be closed after that he hath gone out.)

¹³ And he shall make burnt sacrifice each day to the Lord, a lamb without wem of the same year; ever he shall make it in the morrowtide, (And thou shalt provide a burnt sacrifice each day to the Lord, a lamb of the first year without blemish; thou shalt provide it every morning,)

¹⁴ and he shall make sacrifice on it full early; early he shall make the sixth part of ephah, and of oil the third part of hin, that it be meddled with the flour of wheat; it is a lawful sacrifice, continual and everlasting, to the Lord. (and thou shalt provide an offering with it every morning; yea, each morning thou shalt provide the sixth part of an ephah of grain, and the third part of a hin of oil, that it be mixed, or mingled, with the wheat flour; this is a sacrifice ordained by law, continual, or daily, and everlasting, to the Lord.)

¹⁵ He shall make (ready) a lamb, and sacrifice, and oil, full early; he shall make (ready) early [the] burnt sacrifice everlasting. (Thou shalt provide a lamb, and a grain sacrifice, and oil, every morning; yea, each morning thou shalt provide the everlasting burnt sacrifice.)

¹⁶ The Lord God saith these things, If the prince giveth an house to any of his sons, the heritage of him shall be of his sons; they shall wield it by heritage. (The Lord God saith these things, If the prince giveth a house to any of his sons, its inheritance shall be for his sons; yea, they shall get it by inheritance.)

¹⁷ Forsooth if he giveth a bequest of his heritage to one of his servants, it shall be his till to the year of remission, and it shall turn again to the prince; forsooth the heritage of him shall be to his sons. (But if he giveth a bequest of his inheritance, that is, a gift of his estate, to one of his servants, or to one of his slaves, it shall be his only until the Year of Remission, or the Year of Restoration, and then it shall return to the prince; for his inheritance, or his estate, shall only be for his sons.)

¹⁸ And the prince shall not take by violence of the heritage of the people, and of the possession of them; but of his own possession he shall give heritage to his sons, that my people be not scattered, each man from his possession. (And the prince shall not take by violence any of the people’s inheritance, or any of their possessions; but out of his own possessions he shall give an inheritance to his sons, so that my people be not scattered, each person from his own possession.)

¹⁹ And he led me in by the entering, that was on the side of the gate, into the chambers of the saintuary to the priests, which chambers beheld to the north; and there was a place going to the west. (And he led me in by the entrance, that was by the side of the gate, into the rooms of the sanctuary, or of the Temple, for the priests, which rooms faced north; and there was a place on the western side.)

²⁰ And he said to me, This is the place where (the) priests shall seethe, both for sin [of doing,] and for trespass [of leaving (undone)]; where they shall seethe (the) sacrifice, that they bear (it) not out into the outermore foreyard, and the people be hallowed. (And he said to me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the offerings, both for the sin of doing, and for the trespass of leaving undone; yea, where they shall boil the sacrifice, so that they do not carry it out into the outer courtyard, and then the people be made holy/and then the people be harmed.)

²¹ And he led me out into the outermore foreyard, and led me about by the four corners of the foreyard; and lo! a little foreyard was in the corner of the foreyard, all little foreyards by the corners of the foreyard; (And he led me out into the outer courtyard, and led me about by the four corners of the courtyard; and lo! in each corner of the courtyard was a smaller courtyard;)

²² in four corners of the foreyard little foreyards were disposed, of forty cubits by length, and of thirty by breadth; four were of one measure; (yea, in the four corners of the courtyard were placed smaller courtyards, that were forty cubits in length, and thirty cubits in breadth; all four had the same measurements;)

²³ and a wall by compass went about (the) four little foreyards; and kitchens were made under the porches by compass. (and a wall went all around the four smaller courtyards; and kitchens were made against the porches all around.)

²⁴ And he said to me, This is the house of (the) kitchens, in which the ministers of the house of the Lord shall seethe the sacrifice of the people. (And he said to me, These are the kitchens for the Temple, in which the ministers, or the servants, of the House of the Lord shall boil the people’s sacrifices.)

2 My little sons, I write to you these things, that ye sin not. But if any man sinneth, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ [just],

² and he is the forgiveness for our sins; and not only for our sins [and he is helping for our sins; soothly not only for ours], but also for the sins of all the world.

³ And in this thing we know, that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

⁴ He that saith that he knoweth God, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and truth is not in him.

⁵ But the charity of God is perfect verily in him, that keepeth his word [Forsooth who keepeth his word, verily in him is perfect charity]. In this thing we know, that we be in him, if we be perfect in him.

⁶ He that saith, that he dwelleth in him, he oweth to walk, as he walked.

⁷ Most dear brethren, I write to you, not a new commandment, but the old commandment, that ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word, that ye heard.

⁸ Again I write to you a new commandment, that is true both in him and in you; for darknesses be passed, and very light shineth now [and very light now shineth].

⁹ He that saith, that he is in light, and hateth his brother, is in darknesses yet [is in darkness till to yet].

¹⁰ He that loveth his brother, dwelleth in light, and cause of stumbling is not in him [and offence is not in him].

¹¹ But he that hateth his brother, is in darknesses, and wandereth in darknesses, and knoweth not whither he goeth; for darknesses have blinded his eyes.

¹² Little sons, I write to you, that your sins be forgiven to you for his name.

¹³ Fathers, I write to you, for ye have known him, that is from the beginning. Young men, I write to you, for ye have overcome the wicked. I write to you, young children [I write to you, infants, or young children], for ye have known the Father.

¹⁴ I write to you, brethren, for ye have known him, that is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, for ye be strong, and the word of God dwelleth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked.

¹⁵ Do not ye love the world, nor those things that be in the world [neither those things that be in the world]. If any man loveth the world, the charity of the Father is not in him.

¹⁶ For all thing that is in the world, is covetousness of flesh, and covetousness of eyes, and pride of life, which is not of the Father, but it is of the world.

¹⁷ And the world shall pass, and the covetousness of it; but he that doeth the will of God, dwelleth without end [dwelleth into without end].

¹⁸ My little sons, the last hour is; and as ye have heard, that antichrist cometh, now many antichrists be made; wherefore we know [whereof we know], that it is the last hour.

¹⁹ They went forth from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they had dwelt with us; but that they be known, that they be not all of us [but that they be known, that they be not of us].

²⁰ But ye have anointing of the Holy Ghost, and know all things. [But ye have unction of the Holy Ghost, and know all things.]

²¹ I wrote not to you, as to men that know not the truth, but as to men that know it, and for each lying is not of truth.

²² Who is a liar, but this that denieth that Jesus is not Christ? This is antichrist, that denieth the Father, and the Son.

²³ For each that denieth the Son, hath not the Father; but he that acknowledgeth the Son, hath also the Father.

²⁴ That thing that ye heard at the beginning, dwell it in you [That thing that ye heard from the beginning, dwell in you]; for if that thing dwelleth in you [for if it shall dwell in you], which ye heard at the beginning, [and] ye shall dwell in the Son and in the Father.

²⁵ And this is the promise, that he promised to us everlasting life.

²⁶ I wrote these things to you, of them that deceive you,

²⁷ and that the anointing which ye received of him, dwell in you. And ye have not need, that any man teach you, but as his anointing teacheth you of all things, and it is true, and it is not lying; and as he taught you, dwell ye in him.

²⁸ And now, ye little sons, dwell ye in him, that when he shall appear, we have trust, and be not confounded of him in his coming.

²⁹ If ye know that he is just, know ye that also each that doeth rightwiseness, is born of him.
