Ezekiel
Chapter Forty-Five
1 Moreover, when ye shall
divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto Jehovah,
a holy portion of the land; the length shall be the length of five and twenty
thousand reeds, and the breadth shall be ten thousand: it shall be holy in all
the border thereof round about.
2 Of this there shall be for the holy place five hundred in length by five hundred
in breadth, square round about; and fifty cubits for the suburbs thereof round
about.
3 And of this measure shalt thou measure a length of five and twenty thousand,
and a breadth of ten thousand: and 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, that come near to minister unto Jehovah; and it shall be a
place for their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary.
5 And five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth, shall
be unto the Levites, the ministers of the house, for a possession unto themselves,
for twenty chambers.
6 And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and five
and twenty thousand long, side by side with the oblation of the holy portion:
it shall be for the whole house of Israel.
7 And whatsoever is for the prince shall be on the one side and on the other
side of the holy oblation and of the possession of the city, in front of the
holy oblation and in front of the possession of the city, on the west side westward,
and on the east side eastward; and in length answerable unto one of the portions,
from the west border unto the east border.
8 In the land it shall be to him for a possession in Israel: and my princes
shall no more oppress my people; but they shall give the land to the house of
Israel according to their tribes.
9 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove
violence and spoil, and execute justice and righteousness; take away your exactions
from my people, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 a homer, and the ephah the tenth part of a 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 from
a homer of wheat; and ye 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, the tenth part of a bath
out of the cor, which is ten baths, even a homer; (for ten baths are a homer;)
15 and one lamb of the flock, out of two hundred, from the well-watered pastures
of Israel; -for a meal-offering, and for a burnt-offering, and for peace-offerings,
to make atonement for them, saith the Lord Jehovah.
16 All the people of the land shall give unto this oblation for the prince in
Israel.
17 And it shall be the prince's part to give the burnt-offerings, and 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,
and the meal-offering, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings, to make
atonement for the house of Israel.
18 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the first month, in the first day of the
month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish; and thou shalt cleanse
the sanctuary.
19 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering, and put it upon
the door-posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the ledge of the altar,
and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.
20 And so thou shalt do on the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth,
and for him that is simple: so shall ye make atonement for 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 the seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt-offering to Jehovah,
seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a he-goat
daily for a sin-offering.
24 And he shall prepare a meal-offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah
for a ram, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
25 In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, in the feast, shall
he do the like the seven days; according to the sin-offering, according to the
burnt-offering, and according to the meal-offering, and according to the oil.
