The Book of Ezekiel (WEB)
45: 1Moreover, when you shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, you shall offer an offering
to Yahweh, a holy portion of the land; the length shall be the length of twenty-five thousand reeds,
and the breadth shall be ten thousand: it shall be holy in all the border of it round about. 45:2Of 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 of it round about. 45:3Of this measure shall you measure a
length of twenty-five thousand, and a breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary,
which is most holy. 45:4It is a holy portion of the land; it shall be for the priests, the ministers of the
sanctuary, who come near to minister to Yahweh; and it shall be a place for their houses, and a
holy place for the sanctuary. 45:5Twenty-five thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth, shall
be to the Levites, the ministers of the house, for a possession to themselves, for twenty chambers.
45:6You shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and twenty-five thousand long,
side by side with the offering of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.
45:7Whatever is for the prince shall be on the one side and on the other side of the holy offering and
of the possession of the city, in front of the holy offering and in front of the possession of the city,
on the west side westward, and on the east side eastward; and in length answerable to one of the
portions, from the west border to the east border. 45:8In 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. 45:9Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Let it suffice you, princes
of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute justice and righteousness; dispossessing my
people, says the Lord Yahweh. 45:10You shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.
45:11The 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 of it shall be after the homer. 45:12The
shekel shall be twenty gerahs. Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels shall
be your mina. 45:13This 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; 45:14and 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;) 45:15and 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, says the Lord Yahweh. 45:16All the people of the land
shall give to this offering for the prince in Israel. 45:17It 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. 45:18Thus says the Lord Yahweh: In the first month, in the first
day of the month, you shall take a young bull without blemish; and you shall cleanse the
sanctuary. 45:19The priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering, and put it on the door-posts of
the house, and on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the posts of the gate of the inner
court. 45:20So you shall do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who errs, and for him who
is simple: so shall you make atonement for the house. 45:21In 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.
45:22On that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull for a
sin-offering. 45:23The seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to Yahweh, seven
bulls and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a male goat daily for a
sin-offering. 45:24He shall prepare a meal-offering, an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and
a hin of oil to an ephah. 45:25In 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.
