Ezekiel 45

1 "'Moreover, when you shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, you shall offer an offering to YHWH, a holy portion of the land; the length shall be the length of eight and one eighth miles, and the breadth shall be six and a half miles. It shall be holy in all its border all around.

And when ye shall by lot divide the land as an inheritance, ye shall offer up as a heave-offering to Yahweh a holy portion out of the land, in length, five and twenty thousand long, and in breadth, twenty thousand, —holy shall it be throughout all the territory thereof round about.

2 Of this there shall be for the holy place eight hundred sixty-one feet three inches in length by eight hundred sixty-one feet three inches in breadth, square all around; and eighty-six feet two inches for its suburbs all around.

There shall be out of this for the holy place, five hundred by five hundred, four-square round about, —and fifty cubits, as an open space to it, round about,

3 Of this measure you shall measure a length of twenty-five thousand, and a breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary, which is most holy.

And out of this measure, shalt thou measure, a length of five and twenty thousand and a breadth of ten thousand, —and therein, shall be the sanctuary, the holy of holies:

4 It is a holy portion of the land; it shall be for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who come near to minister to YHWH; and it shall be a place for their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary.

a holy portion out of the land, it is for the priests who wait in the sanctuary, shall it be, who draw near to wait upon Yahweh, - so shall it be theirs as a place for houses, and a sanctuary for the sanctuary.

5 Eight and one eighth miles in length, and three and one quarter miles in breadth, shall be to the Levites, the ministers of the house. It will be their possession for cities to live in.

And five and twenty thousand, in length, and ten thousand, in breadth, —and it shall be for the Levites who wait upon the house theirs as a possession of cities to dwell in

6 "'You shall appoint the possession of the city one and two-thirds miles broad, and eight and one eighth miles, long, side by side with the offering of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.

And, the possession of the city, shall ye give, five thousand, in breadth, and in length, five and twenty thousand answering to the heave-offering of the holy portion, —for all the house of Israel, shall it be.

7 "'Whatever 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.

And to the prince—on his side and on that, shall belong [a portion] of the heave-offering of the holy portion and of the possession of the city, facing the heave-offering of the holy portion and facing the possession of the city, on the west side westward and on the east side eastward, —and in length, answering to one of the portions, from the west boundary to the east boundary,

8 In 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.'

Of the land, it shall be his for a possession in Israel, —and so my princes shall no more oppress my people, but the land itself, shall they give to the house of Israel, by their tribes.

9 "Thus says YHWH: 'Let it suffice you, princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute justice and righteousness; dispossessing my people, says YHWH.

Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Let it more than suffice you O princes of Israel, Violence and spoil, remove ye And justice and righteousness, execute, — Lift off your acts of expulsion from upon my people, Urgeth My Lord Yahweh.

10 You shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.

Balances of righteousness, and an ephah of righteousness, and A bath of righteousness, have ye:

11 The 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: its measure shall be after the homer.

the ephah and the bath of one fixed measure, shall be, to contain the tenth of a homer, the bath, —and the tenth of a homer, the ephah, unto the homer, shall be the proportion thereof;

12 The shekel shall be twenty gerahs. Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels shall be your mina.

and the shekel shall be twenty gerahs, —twenty shekels five and twenty shekels and fifteen shekels, the weight shall be to you.

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;

This is the heave-offering which ye shall offer up, - the sixth of an ephah, out of a homer of wheat, and the sixth of an ephah, out of a homer of barley;

14 and 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; )

And, the statutory portion of oil, shall be— per bath for oil—a tenth part of a bath out of a cor, which is ten baths even a homer; for, ten baths, are a homer.

15 and 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 YHWH.

And one lamb out of the flock out of two hundred out of the watered pastures of Israel, for a gift and for an ascending- sacrifice and for peace-offerings, — To put a propitiatory-covering over them, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.

16 All the people of the land shall give to this offering for the prince in Israel.

All the people of the land shall give to this heave-offering, —for the prince in Israel.

17 It 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.

But on the prince himself, shall rest the ascending-sacrifices and the meal-offering, and the drink-offering, on the festivals, and on the new moons, and on the sabbaths, in all the appointed meetings of the house of Israel, —he, shall offer the sin-bearer. and the meal-offering, and the ascending sacrifice, and the peace-offerings, To put a propitiatory-covering about the house of Israel.

18 "'Thus says YHWH: 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.

Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, In the first month on the first day of the month, shalt thou take a young bullock without defect, —and shalt cleanse the sanctuary from sin;

19 The 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.

then shall the priest take of the blood of the sin-bearer and put upon the door-posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the ledge of the altar and upon the door-posts of the gate of the inner court.

20 So you shall do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who errs, and for him who is simple: so you shall make atonement for the house.

And so shalt thou do in the seventh of the month, for any man that wavereth or is of feeble mind, —so shall ye cleanse the house by propitiation.

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.

In the first month on the fourteenth day of the month, shall ye have the passover, —a festival of seven days, unleavened cakes shall be, eaten;

22 On that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering.

therefore shall the prince offer, on that day, for himself, and for all the people of the land, —a bullock as a sin-bearer;

23 The seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to YHWH, seven bulls and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a male goat daily for a sin offering.

and the seven days of the festival, shall he offer as an ascending-sacrifice to Yahweh seven bullocks and seven rams without defect, daily, for the seven days, —and as a sin- bearer, a young goat daily;

24 He shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

and a meal-offering of an ephah to each bullock. and an ephah to each ram, shall he offer, — and of oil a hin to an ephah.

25 In 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.'

In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, throughout the festival, he shall offer like these seven days, —like the sin-bearer like the ascending-sacrifice, and like the meal offering, and like the oil.
