Ezekiel, Chapter 45
1. Moreover, when you shall divide by lot the land for an inheritance, you shall offer an offering unto the LORD, a holy portion of the land: the length shall be the length of twenty five thousand reeds, and the breadth shall be ten thousand. This shall be holy in all the territory 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 open land thereof.
3. And from this area shall you measure the length of twenty five 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 a holy place for the sanctuary.
5. And the twenty five 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 you shall appoint as the possession of the city five thousand broad, and twenty five thousand long, beside the offering 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 offering of the holy portion, and of the possession of the city, next to the offering of the holy portion, and next to the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward: and the length shall be alongside one of the portions, from the west border to 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 says the Lord GOD; Let it suffice for you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and robbery, and execute justice and righteousness, take away your exactions from my people, says the Lord GOD.
10. You shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.
11. The ephah and the bath shall be of the same 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 according to the homer.
12. And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs: twenty shekels, twenty five shekels, and fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh.
13. This is the offering that you shall offer; the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of wheat, and you shall give the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of barley:
14. Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, you shall offer the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, which is a homer of ten baths; for ten baths are a homer:
15. And one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the fat pastures of Israel; for a food 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 offering for the prince in Israel.
17. And it shall be the prince's part to give burnt offerings, and food offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemn feasts of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the food 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, in the first day of the month, you shall 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 ledge of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.
20. And so you shall do the seventh day of the month for every one who errs, and for him who is unknowing: so shall you reconcile the house.
21. In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, you 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 food offering of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil for an ephah.
25. In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, shall he do the same in the feast of the seven days, according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the food offering, and according to the oil.
