Ezekiel 45:2-25 ▼

2 There shall be from this for the sanctuary five hundred by five hundred, a square plot, around, with fifty cubits open space for it all around.

3 And from this measure, you shall measure a length of five and twenty thousand, and a width of ten thousand; and in it will be the sanctuary, the Holy of Holies.

4 It is a holy portion of the land; it is for the priests ministering in the sanctuary, who draw near to minister to YHWH; and it shall be unto them a place for houses and a holy place for the sanctuary.

5 And five and twenty thousand long, and ten thousand wide, shall be unto the Levites ministering in the temple, as a possession for them, twenty towns in which to live.

6 And as the possession of the city you? shall give five thousand wide, with a length of five and twenty thousand, adjacent to the portion of the holy portion; it shall be unto all of the house of Israel.

7 And for the prince, on this side and on this side of the portion of the holy area, and of the possession of the city, toward the faces of the portion of the holy area, and toward the faces of the property of the city, from the west side westward, from the east side eastward; and the length is parallel to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border

8 of the land. It will be unto him as a possession in Israel. And My princes will not oppress My people anymore, and the land they will give to the house of Israel according to their tribes.

9 Thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Enough to you?, O princes of Israel, turn aside violence and destruction and do justice and righteousness. Stop your? evictions upon My people, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.’

10 Righteous scales and a righteous ephah and a righteous bath shall be unto you?.

11 The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, the bath to bear a tenth of a homer, and the ephah a tenth of a homer. Their measure will be according to the homer.

12 And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs; twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, ten and five shekels, will be unto you? the mina.

13 This is the contribution that you? shall lift up: A sixth of an ephah from a homer of wheat, and a sixth of an ephah from a homer of barley.

14 And the ordinance for the oil, the bath of oil, is a tenth of a bath from each kor (a homer is ten baths, for ten baths are a homer);

15 and will be one lamb from the flock, from two hundred, from the watering places of Israel, for each grain offering, and burnt offering, and peace offering, to make atonement upon them, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.

16 All the people of the land shall be toward this contribution for the prince in Israel.

17 And concerning the prince, it shall be the burnt offerings and the grain offering and the drink offering, at the feasts and the New Moons and the Sabbaths and at all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel; he shall prepare the sin offering, and the grain offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.

18 Thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘In the first month, on the first of the month, you shall take a bull, a son of the herd, unblemished, and you shall cleanse from sin the sanctuary.

19 And the priest shall take from the blood of the sin offering, and put it onto the doorposts of the temple, and onto the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and onto the doorposts of the gate of the inner court.

20 And so you shall do on the seventh of the month, for each man who errs and is ignorant, and you? will make atonement for the temple.

21 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, will be for you? the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.

22 And the prince shall prepare on that day, for himself and for all the people of the land, a bull as a sin offering.

23 And on the seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to YHWH, seven bulls and seven rams unblemished day by day—seven days—and a sin offering, a kid of the goats, day by day.

24 And a grain offering of one ephah for each bull, and one ephah for each ram he shall prepare, and a hin of oil for each ephah.

25 In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, during the feast, he shall do like these seven days, for the sin offering, for the burnt offering, and the grain offering, and the oil.’
