Ezek 45
1
And when you measure you land for inheritance, you shall set apart first-fruits to
the Lord, a holy space of the land, in length twenty and five thousand reeds, and
in breadth twenty thousand; it shall be holy in all the borders thereof round about.
2
And there shall be Gr. plural a sanctuary out of this, five hundred reeds in length by five hundred in breadth,
a square round about; and there shall be a vacant space beyond this Gr. them of fifty cubits round about.
3
And out of this measurement shall you measure the length five and twenty thousand,
and the breadth twenty thousand: and in it shall be the holy of holies.
4
Of the land shall be a portion for the priests that minister in the holy place, and
it shall be for them that draw nigh to minister to the Lord: and it shall be to them
a place for houses set apart for their Gr. sanctification sacred office;
5
the length shall be twenty-five thousand, and the breadth twenty thousand: and the
Levites that attend the house, they shall have cities to dwell in for a possession.
6
And you shall appoint for the possession of the city five thousand in breadth, and
in length twenty-five thousand: after the manner of the first-fruits of the holy portion,
they shall be for all the house of Israel.
7
And the prince shall have a portion out of this, Gr. perhaps, «and from the part next to this and out of this there shall
be a portion for the first-fruits of the sanctuary, and
for the possession of the city, in front of the first-fruits of the sanctuary, and
in front of the possession of the city Lit. seaward westward, and from the western parts eastward: and the length shall be
equal to one
of the parts of the western borders, and the length shall be to the eastern borders
of the land.
8
And he shall have it for a possession in Israel: and the princes of Israel shall no
more oppress my people; but the house of Israel shall inherit the land according to
their tribes.
9
Thus says the Lord God; Let it suffice you, you princes of Israel: remove injustice
and misery, execute judgement and justice; take away oppression from my people, says
the Lord God.
10
You shall have a just balance, and a just measure, and a just choenix for measure.
11
And in like manner there shall be one choenix as a measure of capacity; the tenth
of the gomor shall be the choenix, and the tenth of the gomor shall be in fair proportion
to the gomor.
12
And the weights shall be twenty oboli, your pound shall be five shekels, fifteen shekels
and fifty shekels.
13
And these are the first-fruits which you shall offer; a sixth part of a gomor of wheat,
and the sixth part of it shall consist of an ephah of a core of barley.
14
And you shall give as the Gr. ordinance appointed measure of oil one bath of oil out of ten baths; for ten baths are a gomor.
15
And one sheep from the flock out of ten, as an oblation from all the tribes of Israel,
for sacrifices, and for whole-burnt-offerings, and for peace-offerings, to make atonement
for you, says the Lord God.
16
And all the people shall give these first-fruits to the prince of Israel.
17
And through the prince shall be offered the whole-burnt-offerings and the meat-offerings,
and the drink-offerings in the feasts, and at the new moons, and on the sabbaths;
and in all the feasts of the house of Israel: he shall offer the sin-offerings, and
the meat-offering, and the whole-burnt-offerings, and the peace-offerings, to make
atonement 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 calf without blemish out of the herd, to make atonement for the holy place.
19
And the priest shall take of the blood of the atonement, and put it on the Gr. posts, or, lintels thresholds of the house,
and upon the four corners of the temple, and upon the altar,
and upon the thresholds of the gate of the inner court.
20
And thus shall you do in the seventh month; on the first day of the month you shall
take a rate Alex. +’from every one that errs (in ignorance) and from him whom is simple’ from each one; and you shall make
atonement for the house.
21
And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall have Lit. the passover, a feast the feast of the passover;
seven days shall you eat unleavened bread.
22
And the prince shall offer it that day a calf for a sin-offering for himself, and
Or, his house the house, and for all the people of the land.
23
And for the seven days of the feast he shall offer as whole-burnt-offerings to the
Lord seven calves and seven rams without blemish daily for the seven days; and a kid
of the goats daily for a sin-offering, and a meat-offering.
24
And you shall prepare a cake for the calf, and q. d. a baked, or, cooked-offering cakes for the ram, and a hin of oil for
the cake.
25
And in the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, you shall sacrifice in
the feast in the same way seven days, as they sacrificed the sin-offerings, and Gr. «as’ repeated the whole-burnt-offerings,
and the freewill-offering, and the oil.
