1 “‘When the land of Israel is divided [among the twelve tribes], you must present to me, Yahweh, one part of the land to be a sacred district. It will be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.7 miles/10.6 km.) wide. That entire area will be (holy/set apart for me).
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 Part of that area, (875 feet/265 meters) on each side, will be for the temple area. An additional strip of ground, (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) wide, will be left empty all around the temple area.
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 Inside that sacred district, measure a section (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (3.5 miles/5.3 km.) wide.
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 That section will be the sacred portion of the land for the priests who work in the temple and who come near to me to serve me. It will be a place for their houses as well as being a holy place for the temple.
[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 An area (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (3.5 miles/5.3 km.) wide will be for the descendants of Levi who work in the temple. That area will belong to them, and they will be permitted to build cities there to live in.
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 Alongside that sacred area will be a section of land that is (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (1.7 miles/2.65 km.) wide. It will be for a city where anyone in Israel [MTY] will be permitted to live.
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 king will have two sections of land; one will be on the western side of the sacred district and other will be on the eastern side of the sacred district. The one on the western side will extend west to the Mediterranean Sea. The one on the eastern side will extend east to the eastern end of the country. The eastern and western borders of the king’s land will be next to the areas allotted 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 That land will be the land in Israel that belongs to the king. So, [because the kings will have their own land], they will no longer need to oppress my people and steal [land] from them. They will assign the remaining parts of the land to the people, giving a part to each tribe.
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 I, Yahweh the Lord, say: You kings of Israel must stop acting violently and oppressing the people! You must do what is fair and right [DOU]. Stop taking land from the people!
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 And you must use accurate scales, and accurate containers for measuring things.
Balances of righteousness and an ephah of righteousness and a bath of righteousness let it be to you.
11 The baskets for measuring dry things and containers for measuring liquids must be the same size; each must hold 175 quarts/liters.
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 When you weigh things, you must use weights that everyone accepts as being correct [MTY].’”
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 “‘You must present to the king one bushel of wheat or barley for every 60 that you harvest.
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 And you must give him one quart/liter of olive oil for every 100 quarts/liters that you make.
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 Also, I, Yahweh, declare that you must take one sheep from each 200 sheep in your flocks in the pastures of Israel. Those things that you take to the king will be used with the offerings of things made from grain and for the offerings that will be completely burned and the offerings to maintain fellowship with me, offerings in order for me to forgive you for the sins that you have committed.
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 All the Israeli people must join in bringing those offerings to the king of Israel.
All the people of the land they will be to the contribution this for the prince in Israel.
17 The king must provide the animals to be completely burned on the altar, grain for the grain offerings, and wine for the wine offerings for the sacred festivals that I have appointed for the people of Israel—including the festivals to celebrate each new moon and the Sabbaths. He must provide [the animals for] the offerings for the people to become acceptable to me, grain for the grain offerings, animals to be completely burned [on the altar], and offerings to maintain fellowship with me, Yahweh, in order that I will forgive the Israeli people for their sins.
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 also what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: On the first day of the first month [of each year] you must take one young bull that has no defects and [sacrifice it to] cause the temple to be acceptable to me.
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 [Supreme] Priest must take some of the blood of the offering to cause people to become acceptable to me, and smear it on the doorposts of the temple, on the four corners of the upper ledge of the altar, and on the entry posts 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 He must do the same thing on the seventh day of the month for any people who sin without intending to sin or without realizing that what they did is sinful. By doing that you will 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 In the first month of each year, on the 14th day of the month, you must start to celebrate the Passover Festival. The festival will last for seven days. During that time you must not eat bread made with yeast.
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 the first day, the king must provide a bull to be an offering for himself and for the all the other people of 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 And every day during those seven days he must provide seven young bulls and seven rams that have no defects, to be an offering for the people’s sins.
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 must also provide a half bushel of grain to be an offering, and also four quarts of olive oil, for each bill and 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 During the seven days of the festival [of Living in Temporary Shelters], which starts on the fifteenth day of the seventh month of each year, the king must provide the same things for offerings for the people’s sins, for offerings to be completely burned, for grain offerings, and the same amount of olive oil that he provided each day [during the Passover Festival].’”
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.
