Ezekiel 45
1 Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance,
ye shall offer an oblation unto the LORD, an holy portion of the land: the
length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand reeds, and the breadth
shall be ten thousand. This shall be holy in all the borders thereof round
about.
2 Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred in length,
with five hundred in breadth, square round about; and fifty cubits round about
for the suburbs thereof.
3 And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and
twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the
sanctuary and the most holy place.
4 The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests the
ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister unto the LORD: and
it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for the sanctuary.
5 And the five and twenty thousand of length, and the ten thousand
of breadth shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house, have for
themselves, for a possession for twenty chambers.
6 And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand
broad, and five and twenty thousand long, over against 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 the one side and on the
other side of the oblation of the holy portion, and of the possession of the
city, before the oblation of the holy portion, and before the possession of the
city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward: and the
length shall be over against one of the portions, from the west border unto the
east border.
8 In the land shall be his possession in Israel: and my princes
shall no more oppress my people; and the rest of the land shall they give to the
house of Israel according to their tribes.
9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel:
remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your
exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD.
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 an homer, and the ephah the tenth part of an
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 of an homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah of an
homer of barley:
14 Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, ye shall offer
the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, which is an homer of ten baths; for ten
baths are an homer:
15 And one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, 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, saith 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, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in
the sabbaths, in all solemnities 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 saith the Lord GOD; In the first month, in the first day of
the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish, and cleanse the
sanctuary:
19 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and
put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of
the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.
20 And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every one
that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile 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 seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to
the LORD, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days;
and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering.
24 And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bullock,
and an ephah for a ram, and an hin of oil for an ephah.
25 In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, shall
he do the like in the feast of the seven days, according to the sin offering,
according to the burnt offering, and according to the meat offering, and
according to the oil.
