Ezekiel 45

1 When you allocate the land ownership by lot, you are to make a provision for the Lord, a holy allocation of the land that measures 25,000 cubits long and 20,000 cubits wide. This whole area is holy.

And when make fall you the land an inheritance you will offer up a contribution to Yahweh - a holy portion from the land [the] length [will be] five and twenty thousand [cubits] [the] length and [the] breadth [will be] ten thousand [cubits] [will be] a holy place it in all territory its all around.

2 Inside this there is the section for the sanctuary that measures 500 cubits square, with an open area around it 50 cubits wide.

It will be some of this to the holy place five hundred [cubits] by five hundred [cubits] square all around and fifty cubit[s] open land [will belong] to it all around.

3 From this holy allocation, measure out a section that is 25,000 cubits by 10,000 cubits. This will contain the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.

And from the measured area this you will measure a length (five *Q(K)*) and twenty thousand [cubits] and a breadth ten thousand [cubits] and in it it will be the sanctuary a holy place of holy places.

4 This area is a holy allocation of the land which will be used by the priests who serve in the sanctuary, who come before the Lord to minister. It will be where they can live, and a holy place for the sanctuary.

[will be] a holy portion From the land it to the priests [who] serve the sanctuary it will belong approaching to serve Yahweh and it will be for them a place for houses and a holy place for the sanctuary.

5 The other section measuring 25,000 cubits by 10,000 cubits will be assigned the Levites who work in the Temple where they can live.

And five and twenty thousand [cubits] length and ten thousand [cubits] breadth (and it will belong *Q(K)*) to the Levites [who] serve the house of them to a possession twenty rooms.

6 Allocate to the city an area 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long beside the sanctuary section. It is for the all the people of Israel.

And [the] possession of the city you will give five thousand [cubits] breadth and length five and twenty thousand [cubits] close to [the] contribution of holiness to all [the] house of Israel it will belong.

7 The prince will be assigned the territory on both sides of the area that includes the holy section and that of the city. It will extend to the western border of the country from the west side and to the eastern border from the east side, in the same way as the allocation to the tribes.

And [will belong] to the prince from this and from this of [the] contribution of holiness and of [the] possession of the city to [the] face of [the] contribution of holiness and to [the] face of [the] possession of the city from [the] side of [the] west west-ward and from [the] side of east-ward east-ward and length corresponding to one of the portions from [the] border of [the] west to [the] border of east-ward.

8 This territory will be his to own in the country of Israel. My princes won't exploit my people anymore, and will make sure the people of Israel occupy the country according to their tribal allocations.

To the land it will belong to him to a possession in Israel and not they will oppress again princes my people my and the land they will give to [the] house of Israel to tribes their.

9 This is what the Lord God says: You've done enough damage, princes of Israel! Stop using violence and mistreating people! Do what is good and right. Stop evicting people and stealing their property, declares the Lord God.

Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh enough for you O princes of Israel injustice and violence remove and justice and righteousness do remove eviction your from on people my [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

10 You must use correct methods of measurement—whether it's weights on scales, or ephah for measuring solids, and a bath for measuring liquids.

Balances of righteousness and an ephah of righteousness and a bath of righteousness let it be to you.

11 The ephah and the bath shall be the same quantity of volume. The bath will be equivalent to a tenth of a homer, and the ephah will also be equivalent to a tenth of a homer. The homer is to be the fundamental measurement.

The ephah and the bath measurement one it will be [is] to carry [the] tenth part of the homer the bath and [the] tenth [part] of the homer the ephah to the homer it will be measurement its.

12 Twenty gerahs make one shekel. Sixty shekels make one mina.

And the shekel [will be] twenty gerah[s] twenty shekels five and twenty shekels ten and five shekel[s] the mina it will be for you.

13 These are the taxes you are to contribute: one sixth of an ephah from every homer of wheat or barley.

This [will be] the contribution which you will offer up [the] sixth [part] of the ephah from [the] homer of the wheat and you will give a sixth part of the ephah from [the] homer of the barley.

14 In the case of olive oil, one tenth of a bath from every cor. (The measurement is based on baths, and a cor consists of ten baths or one homer, since ten baths equal one homer.)

And [the] prescribed portion of the oil the bath the oil [will be] [the] tenth part of the bath from the cor [the] ten the baths [are] a homer for ten the baths [are] a homer.

15 In addition one sheep is to be supplied from every flock of two hundred from the green pastures of Israel. These are to provide for the grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to set the people right, declares the Lord God.

And a sheep one from the flock from the two hundred from [the] well-watered land of Israel to a grain offering and to a burnt offering and to peace offerings to make atonement on them [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

16 Everyone in the country has to make these contributions to the prince in Israel.

All the people of the land they will be to the contribution this for the prince in Israel.

17 The prince's role is to provide the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings for the religious festivals, New Moons, and Sabbaths—in fact for all the regular religious festivals of the people of Israel. He is to provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings to set the people of Israel right.

And on the prince it will be the burnt offerings and the grain offering and the drink offering at the festivals and at the new moons and on the sabbaths at all [the] appointed times of [the] house of Israel he he will provide the sin offering and the grain offering and the burnt offering and the peace offerings to make atonement for [the] house of Israel.

18 This is what the Lord God says: On the first day of the first month you are to sacrifice a young bull that has no defects to purify the sanctuary.

Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh in the first [month] on [day] one of the month you will take a young bull a young one of cattle unblemished and you will cleanse from sin the sanctuary.

19 The priest shall take some of the blood from the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the Temple, on the four corners of the upper ledge of the altar, and on the gateposts of the inner courtyard.

And he will take the priest some of [the] blood of the sin offering and he will put [it] to [the] doorpost of the house and to [the] four [the] corners of the ledge of the altar and on [the] doorpost of [the] gate of the courtyard inner.

20 You are also to do this on the seventh day of the month on behalf of anyone who does wrong unintentionally or in ignorance. By doing this you purify the Temple.

And thus you will do on [day] seven in the month from anyone [who] errs and from a simple person and you will make atonement for the house.

21 You are to keep the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. This is a religious festival that lasts seven days, during which time bread made without yeast is to be eaten.

In the first [month] on four-teen day of the month it will be for you the passover a festival weeks days unleavened bread it will be eaten.

22 On that day the prince will provide a bull as a sin offering for himself and for everyone on the country.

And he will provide the prince on the day that for himself and for all [the] people of the land a young bull a sin offering.

23 Every day for the seven days of the festival, he will provide seven bulls and seven rams without defects as a burnt offering to the Lord, together with a male goat for a sin offering.

And [the] seven [the] days of the festival he will provide a burnt offering to Yahweh seven young bulls and seven rams unblemished to the day [the] seven the days and a sin offering a male goat of goats to the day.

24 He will also provide an ephah of grain and a hin of olive oil as an offering to accompany each bull and each ram.

And a grain offering an ephah to the young bull and an ephah to the ram he will provide and oil a hin to the ephah.

25 For the seven days of the festival that begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, he is to provide the same number of sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, and olive oil.

In the seventh [month] on fif-teen day of the month at the festival he will provide like these [things] [the] seven the days like the sin offering like the burnt offering and like the grain offering and like the oil.
