Ezekiel 45

CHAPTER 45 The Division of the Land

1 And in your measuring the land for inheritance, you shall separate the first-fruit to the lord, a holy space of the land -- five and twenty thousand in length, and the breadth ten thousand; it will be holy in all its limits round about. 2 And there shall be from out of this a sanctuary -- five hundred by five hundred four-cornered round about, and fifty cubits shall be their space round about. 3 And from out of this measurement you shall measure a length five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand; and in it will be the sanctuary, the holy of the holies. 4 Being sanctified of the land there shall be a portion to the priests, to the ones ministering in the holy place, and it will be for the ones approaching to minister to the lord. And it will be to them a place for houses being separated for their sanctification. 5 Twenty and five thousand in length, and a breadth of twenty thousand shall be to the Levites, to the ones ministering in the house, to them for possession cities to dwell in. 6 And for the possession of the city you shall appoint five thousand for the breadth, and the length five and twenty thousand. In which manner the first-fruit of the holies is to all the house of Israel, so it shall be. 7 And a portion shall be to the one leading from out of this, and from this into the first-fruits of the holies for a possession of the city in front of the first-fruits of the holies, and in front of the possession of the city, the parts towards the west, and from the parts towards the west towards the east. And the length as one of the portions from the limits of the parts towards the west, unto the limits, the parts towards the east of the land. 8 And it will be to him for a possession in Israel. And [⁴shall not tyrannize ⁵any longer ¹the ones ²guiding ³my people]; but [⁴the ⁵land ³shall inherit ¹the house ²of Israel] according to their tribes. 9 Thus says the lord God; Let it be enough to you, O ones guiding Israel! [²injustice ³and ⁴misery ¹Let] be removed, and [²equity ³and ⁴righteousness ¹observe]! Lift away the tyrannies from my people, says the lord God!

Weights and Measures

10 [⁴yoke balance scale ³a just ⁵and ⁷measure ⁶a just ⁸and ¹⁰choenix measure ⁹a just ¹There shall be ²to you] for your measure. 11 And the choenix in like manner will be one to receive the tenth of the homer, a choenix and a tenth of the homer -- the ephah [³the ⁴homer ¹shall be ²equal to]. 12 And the weight twenty oboli five shekels; twenty five shekels, and five and ten shekels [³for the ⁴mina ¹let it be ²to you].

The First-fruit

13 And this is the first-fruit which you shall separate; the sixth part of the measure of the homer of the wheat, and the sixth part of the ephah of the cor of the barley. 14 And the order concerning the olive oil -- a cup of olive oil out of ten cups, for the ten cups are a homer. 15 And a sheep from the two hundred sheep as a cut-away portion of all the families of Israel for a sacrifice, and whole burnt-offerings, and for a sacrifice of deliverance offering to atone for you, says the lord God. 16 And all the people shall give this first-fruit to the one guiding Israel. 17 And [⁴through ⁵the one ⁶guiding ³will be ¹the ²whole burnt offerings], and the sacrifices, and the libation-offerings in the holidays, and in the new moons, and in the Sabbaths, and in all the holidays of the house of Israel -- he shall offer the sacrifices for sin, and the sacrifice offering, and the whole burnt-offerings, and the offerings of deliverance to atone for the house of Israel.

The Holidays

18 Thus says the lord God; In the first month, day one of the month, you shall take a calf from out of the oxen, unblemished, to atone the holy place. 19 And [³shall take ¹the ²priest] of the blood, and he shall put it upon the doorposts of the house, and upon the four corners of the temple, and upon the altar, and upon the doorposts of the gate of the [²courtyard ¹inner]. 20 And so shall you do in the [²month ¹seventh], day one of the month, for each senseless and simple one; and you shall atone for the house. 21 And in the first month, the fourteenth of the month; it will be to you the passover holiday -- seven days [²unleavened breads ¹you shall eat]. 22 And [³shall offer ¹the one ²guiding] in that day for himself, and for all the people of the land, a calf for a sin offering. 23 And seven days of the holiday he shall offer whole burnt-offerings to the lord -- seven calves, and seven rams, unblemished, daily seven days. And for a sin offering a kid of the goats daily; and a sacrifice offering. 24 And [²a cake ³for the ⁴calf ⁵and ⁶a cake ⁷for the ⁸ram ¹he shall prepare]; and [²of olive oil ¹a hin] for the cake. 25 And in the seventh month, the fifteenth of the month, during the holiday, he shall offer according to the same, seven days, and as the sacrifices for the sin offering, and as the whole burnt-offerings, and as the gift offering, and as the olive oil.
