Ezekiel:40-48
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In the five and twentieth year of our captivity ,
in the beginning of the year ,
in the tenth day of the month ,
in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten ,
in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me ,
and brought me thither .
*
In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel ,
and set me upon a very high mountain ,
by which was as the frame of a city on the south .
*
And he brought me thither ,
and ,
behold ,
there was a man ,
whose appearance was like the appearance of brass ,
with a line of flax in his hand ,
and a measuring reed ;
and he stood in the gate .
*
And the man said unto me ,
Son of man ,
behold with thine eyes ,
and hear with thine ears ,
and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee ;
for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither :
declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel .
*
And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about ,
and in the man '
s hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth :
so he measured the breadth of the building ,
one reed ;
and the height ,
one reed .
*
Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east ,
and went up the stairs thereof ,
and measured the threshold of the gate ,
which was one reed broad ;
and the other threshold of the gate ,
which was one reed broad .
*
And every little chamber was one reed long ,
and one reed broad ;
and between the little chambers were five cubits ;
and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed .
*
He measured also the porch of the gate within ,
one reed .
*
Then measured he the porch of the gate ,
eight cubits ;
and the posts thereof ,
two cubits ;
and the porch of the gate was inward .
*
And the little chambers of the gate eastward were three on this side ,
and three on that side ;
they three were of one measure :
and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side .
*
And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate ,
ten cubits ;
and the length of the gate ,
thirteen cubits .
*
The space also before the little chambers was one cubit on this side ,
and the space was one cubit on that side :
and the little chambers were six cubits on this side ,
and six cubits on that side .
*
He measured then the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another :
the breadth was five and twenty cubits ,
door against door .
*
He made also posts of threescore cubits ,
even unto the post of the court round about the gate .
*
And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits .
*
And there were narrow windows to the little chambers ,
and to their posts within the gate round about ,
and likewise to the arches :
and windows were round about inward :
and upon each post were palm trees .
*
Then brought he me into the outward court ,
and ,
lo ,
there were chambers ,
and a pavement made for the court round about :
thirty chambers were upon the pavement .
*
And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates was the lower pavement .
*
Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without ,
an hundred cubits eastward and northward .
*
And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north ,
he measured the length thereof ,
and the breadth thereof .
*
And the little chambers thereof were three on this side and three on that side ;
and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate :
the length thereof was fifty cubits ,
and the breadth five and twenty cubits .
*
And their windows ,
and their arches ,
and their palm trees ,
were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east ;
and they went up unto it by seven steps ;
and the arches thereof were before them .
*
And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate toward the north ,
and toward the east ;
and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits .
*
After that he brought me toward the south ,
and behold a gate toward the south :
and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures .
*
And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about ,
like those windows :
the length was fifty cubits ,
and the breadth five and twenty cubits .
*
And there were seven steps to go up to it ,
and the arches thereof were before them :
and it had palm trees ,
one on this side ,
and another on that side ,
upon the posts thereof .
*
And there was a gate in the inner court toward the south :
and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits .
*
And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate :
and he measured the south gate according to these measures ;
*
And the little chambers thereof ,
and the posts thereof ,
and the arches thereof ,
according to these measures :
and there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about :
it was fifty cubits long ,
and five and twenty cubits broad .
*
And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits long ,
and five cubits broad .
*
And the arches thereof were toward the utter court ;
and palm trees were upon the posts thereof :
and the going up to it had eight steps .
*
And he brought me into the inner court toward the east :
and he measured the gate according to these measures .
*
And the little chambers thereof ,
and the posts thereof ,
and the arches thereof ,
were according to these measures :
and there were windows therein and in the arches thereof round about :
it was fifty cubits long ,
and five and twenty cubits broad .
*
And the arches thereof were toward the outward court ;
and palm trees were upon the posts thereof ,
on this side ,
and on that side :
and the going up to it had eight steps .
*
And he brought me to the north gate ,
and measured it according to these measures ;
*
The little chambers thereof ,
the posts thereof ,
and the arches thereof ,
and the windows to it round about :
the length was fifty cubits ,
and the breadth five and twenty cubits .
*
And the posts thereof were toward the utter court ;
and palm trees were upon the posts thereof ,
on this side ,
and on that side :
and the going up to it had eight steps .
*
And the chambers and the entries thereof were by the posts of the gates ,
where they washed the burnt offering .
*
And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side ,
and two tables on that side ,
to slay thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering .
*
And at the side without ,
as one goeth up to the entry of the north gate ,
were two tables ;
and on the other side ,
which was at the porch of the gate ,
were two tables .
*
Four tables were on this side ,
and four tables on that side ,
by the side of the gate ;
eight tables ,
whereupon they slew their sacrifices .
*
And the four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offering ,
of a cubit and an half long ,
and a cubit and an half broad ,
and one cubit high :
whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice .
*
And within were hooks ,
an hand broad ,
fastened round about :
and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering .
*
And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court ,
which was at the side of the north gate ;
and their prospect was toward the south :
one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north .
*
And he said unto me ,
This chamber ,
whose prospect is toward the south ,
is for the priests ,
the keepers of the charge of the house .
*
And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests ,
the keepers of the charge of the altar :
these are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi ,
which come near to the LORD to minister unto him .
*
So he measured the court ,
an hundred cubits long ,
and an hundred cubits broad ,
foursquare ;
and the altar that was before the house .
*
And he brought me to the porch of the house ,
and measured each post of the porch ,
five cubits on this side ,
and five cubits on that side :
and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side ,
and three cubits on that side .
*
The length of the porch was twenty cubits ,
and the breadth eleven cubits ;
and he brought me by the steps whereby they went up to it :
and there were pillars by the posts ,
one on this side ,
and another on that side .
*
Afterward he brought me to the temple ,
and measured the posts ,
six cubits broad on the one side ,
and six cubits broad on the other side ,
which was the breadth of the tabernacle .
*
And the breadth of the door was ten cubits ;
and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side ,
and five cubits on the other side :
and he measured the length thereof ,
forty cubits :
and the breadth ,
twenty cubits .
*
Then went he inward ,
and measured the post of the door ,
two cubits ;
and the door ,
six cubits ;
and the breadth of the door ,
seven cubits .
*
So he measured the length thereof ,
twenty cubits ;
and the breadth ,
twenty cubits ,
before the temple :
and he said unto me ,
This is the most holy place .
*
After he measured the wall of the house ,
six cubits ;
and the breadth of every side chamber ,
four cubits ,
round about the house on every side .
*
And the side chambers were three ,
one over another ,
and thirty in order ;
and they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers round about ,
that they might have hold ,
but they had not hold in the wall of the house .
*
And there was an enlarging ,
and a winding about still upward to the side chambers :
for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house :
therefore the breadth of the house was still upward ,
and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst .
*
I saw also the height of the house round about :
the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits .
*
The thickness of the wall ,
which was for the side chamber without ,
was five cubits :
and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within .
*
And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side .
*
And the doors of the side chambers were toward the place that was left ,
one door toward the north ,
and another door toward the south :
and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about .
*
Now the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad ;
and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about ,
and the length thereof ninety cubits .
*
So he measured the house ,
an hundred cubits long ;
and the separate place ,
and the building ,
with the walls thereof ,
an hundred cubits long ;
*
Also the breadth of the face of the house ,
and of the separate place toward the east ,
an hundred cubits .
*
And he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which was behind it ,
and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side ,
an hundred cubits ,
with the inner temple ,
and the porches of the court ;
*
The door posts ,
and the narrow windows ,
and the galleries round about on their three stories ,
over against the door ,
cieled with wood round about ,
and from the ground up to the windows ,
and the windows were covered ;
*
To that above the door ,
even unto the inner house ,
and without ,
and by all the wall round about within and without ,
by measure .
*
And it was made with cherubims and palm trees ,
so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub ;
and every cherub had two faces ;
*
So that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side ,
and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side :
it was made through all the house round about .
*
From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made ,
and on the wall of the temple .
*
The posts of the temple were squared ,
and the face of the sanctuary ;
the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other .
*
The altar of wood was three cubits high ,
and the length thereof two cubits ;
and the corners thereof ,
and the length thereof ,
and the walls thereof ,
were of wood :
and he said unto me ,
This is the table that is before the LORD .
*
And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors .
*
And the doors had two leaves apiece ,
two turning leaves ;
two leaves for the one door ,
and two leaves for the other door .
*
And there were made on them ,
on the doors of the temple ,
cherubims and palm trees ,
like as were made upon the walls ;
and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without .
*
And there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side ,
on the sides of the porch ,
and upon the side chambers of the house ,
and thick planks .
*
Then he brought me forth into the utter court ,
the way toward the north :
and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place ,
and which was before the building toward the north .
*
Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door ,
and the breadth was fifty cubits .
*
Over against the twenty cubits which were for the inner court ,
and over against the pavement which was for the utter court ,
was gallery against gallery in three stories .
*
And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward ,
a way of one cubit ;
and their doors toward the north .
*
Now the upper chambers were shorter :
for the galleries were higher than these ,
than the lower ,
and than the middlemost of the building .
*
For they were in three stories ,
but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts :
therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground .
*
And the wall that was without over against the chambers ,
toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers ,
the length thereof was fifty cubits .
*
For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits :
and ,
lo ,
before the temple were an hundred cubits .
*
And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side ,
as one goeth into them from the utter court .
*
The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east ,
over against the separate place ,
and over against the building .
*
And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north ,
as long as they ,
and as broad as they :
and all their goings out were both according to their fashions ,
and according to their doors .
*
And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door in the head of the way ,
even the way directly before the wall toward the east ,
as one entereth into them .
*
Then said he unto me ,
The north chambers and the south chambers ,
which are before the separate place ,
they be holy chambers ,
where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things :
there shall they lay the most holy things ,
and the meat offering ,
and the sin offering ,
and the trespass offering ;
for the place is holy .
*
When the priests enter therein ,
then shall they not go out of the holy place into the utter court ,
but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister ;
for they are holy ;
and shall put on other garments ,
and shall approach to those things which are for the people .
*
Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house ,
he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east ,
and measured it round about .
*
He measured the east side with the measuring reed ,
five hundred reeds ,
with the measuring reed round about .
*
He measured the north side ,
five hundred reeds ,
with the measuring reed round about .
*
He measured the south side ,
five hundred reeds ,
with the measuring reed .
*
He turned about to the west side ,
and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed .
*
He measured it by the four sides :
it had a wall round about ,
five hundred reeds long ,
and five hundred broad ,
to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place .
*
Afterward he brought me to the gate ,
even the gate that looketh toward the east :
*
And ,
behold ,
the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east :
and his voice was like a noise of many waters :
and the earth shined with his glory .
*
And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw ,
even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city :
and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar ;
and I fell upon my face .
*
And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east .
*
So the spirit took me up ,
and brought me into the inner court ;
and ,
behold ,
the glory of the LORD filled the house .
*
And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house ;
and the man stood by me .
*
And he said unto me ,
Son of man ,
the place of my throne ,
and the place of the soles of my feet ,
where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever ,
and my holy name ,
shall the house of Israel no more defile ,
neither they ,
nor their kings ,
by their whoredom ,
nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places .
*
In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds ,
and their post by my posts ,
and the wall between me and them ,
they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed :
wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger .
*
Now let them put away their whoredom ,
and the carcases of their kings ,
far from me ,
and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever .
*
Thou son of man ,
shew the house to the house of Israel ,
that they may be ashamed of their iniquities :
and let them measure the pattern .
*
And if they be ashamed of all that they have done ,
shew them the form of the house ,
and the fashion thereof ,
and the goings out thereof ,
and the comings in thereof ,
and all the forms thereof ,
and all the ordinances thereof ,
and all the forms thereof ,
and all the laws thereof :
and write it in their sight ,
that they may keep the whole form thereof ,
and all the ordinances thereof ,
and do them .
*
This is the law of the house ;
Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy .
Behold ,
this is the law of the house .
*
And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits :
The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth ;
even the bottom shall be a cubit ,
and the breadth a cubit ,
and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a span :
and this shall be the higher place of the altar .
*
And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower settle shall be two cubits ,
and the breadth one cubit ;
and from the lesser settle even to the greater settle shall be four cubits ,
and the breadth one cubit .
*
So the altar shall be four cubits ;
and from the altar and upward shall be four horns .
*
And the altar shall be twelve cubits long ,
twelve broad ,
square in the four squares thereof .
*
And the settle shall be fourteen cubits long and fourteen broad in the four squares thereof ;
and the border about it shall be half a cubit ;
and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit about ;
and his stairs shall look toward the east .
*
And he said unto me ,
Son of man ,
thus saith the Lord GOD ;
These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it ,
to offer burnt offerings thereon ,
and to sprinkle blood thereon .
*
And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok ,
which approach unto me ,
to minister unto me ,
saith the Lord GOD ,
a young bullock for a sin offering .
*
And thou shalt take of the blood thereof ,
and put it on the four horns of it ,
and on the four corners of the settle ,
and upon the border round about :
thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it .
*
Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering ,
and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house ,
without the sanctuary .
*
And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering ;
and they shall cleanse the altar ,
as they did cleanse it with the bullock .
*
When thou hast made an end of cleansing it ,
thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish ,
and a ram out of the flock without blemish .
*
And thou shalt offer them before the LORD ,
and the priests shall cast salt upon them ,
and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the LORD .
*
Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin offering :
they shall also prepare a young bullock ,
and a ram out of the flock ,
without blemish .
*
Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it ;
and they shall consecrate themselves .
*
And when these days are expired ,
it shall be ,
that upon the eighth day ,
and so forward ,
the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar ,
and your peace offerings ;
and I will accept you ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east ;
and it was shut .
*
Then said the LORD unto me ;
This gate shall be shut ,
it shall not be opened ,
and no man shall enter in by it ;
because the LORD ,
the God of Israel ,
hath entered in by it ,
therefore it shall be shut .
*
It is for the prince ;
the prince ,
he shall sit in it to eat bread before the LORD ;
he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate ,
and shall go out by the way of the same .
*
Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house :
and I looked ,
and ,
behold ,
the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD :
and I fell upon my face .
*
And the LORD said unto me ,
Son of man ,
mark well ,
and behold with thine eyes ,
and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD ,
and all the laws thereof ;
and mark well the entering in of the house ,
with every going forth of the sanctuary .
*
And thou shalt say to the rebellious ,
even to the house of Israel ,
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
O ye house of Israel ,
let it suffice you of all your abominations ,
*
In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers ,
uncircumcised in heart ,
and uncircumcised in flesh ,
to be in my sanctuary ,
to pollute it ,
even my house ,
when ye offer my bread ,
the fat and the blood ,
and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations .
*
And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things :
but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves .
*
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
No stranger ,
uncircumcised in heart ,
nor uncircumcised in flesh ,
shall enter into my sanctuary ,
of any stranger that is among the children of Israel .
*
And the Levites that are gone away far from me ,
when Israel went astray ,
which went astray away from me after their idols ;
they shall even bear their iniquity .
*
Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary ,
having charge at the gates of the house ,
and ministering to the house :
they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people ,
and they shall stand before them to minister unto them .
*
Because they ministered unto them before their idols ,
and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity ;
therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them ,
saith the Lord GOD ,
and they shall bear their iniquity .
*
And they shall not come near unto me ,
to do the office of a priest unto me ,
nor to come near to any of my holy things ,
in the most holy place :
but they shall bear their shame ,
and their abominations which they have committed .
*
But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house ,
for all the service thereof ,
and for all that shall be done therein .
*
But the priests the Levites ,
the sons of Zadok ,
that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me ,
they shall come near to me to minister unto me ,
and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood ,
saith the Lord GOD :
*
They shall enter into my sanctuary ,
and they shall come near to my table ,
to minister unto me ,
and they shall keep my charge .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court ,
they shall be clothed with linen garments ;
and no wool shall come upon them ,
whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court ,
and within .
*
They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads ,
and shall have linen breeches upon their loins ;
they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat .
*
And when they go forth into the utter court ,
even into the utter court to the people ,
they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered ,
and lay them in the holy chambers ,
and they shall put on other garments ;
and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments .
*
Neither shall they shave their heads ,
nor suffer their locks to grow long ;
they shall only poll their heads .
*
Neither shall any priest drink wine ,
when they enter into the inner court .
*
Neither shall they take for their wives a widow ,
nor her that is put away :
but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel ,
or a widow that had a priest before .
*
And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane ,
and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean .
*
And in controversy they shall stand in judgment ;
and they shall judge it according to my judgments :
and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies ;
and they shall hallow my sabbaths .
*
And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves :
but for father ,
or for mother ,
or for son ,
or for daughter ,
for brother ,
or for sister that hath had no husband ,
they may defile themselves .
*
And after he is cleansed ,
they shall reckon unto him seven days .
*
And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary ,
unto the inner court ,
to minister in the sanctuary ,
he shall offer his sin offering ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
And it shall be unto them for an inheritance :
I am their inheritance :
and ye shall give them no possession in Israel :
I am their possession .
*
They shall eat the meat offering ,
and the sin offering ,
and the trespass offering ;
and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs .
*
And the first of all the firstfruits of all things ,
and every oblation of all ,
of every sort of your oblations ,
shall be the priest '
s :
ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough ,
that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house .
*
The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself ,
or torn ,
whether it be fowl or beast .
*
Moreover ,
when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance ,
ye shall offer an oblation unto the LORD ,
an holy portion of the land :
the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand reeds ,
and the breadth shall be ten thousand .
This shall be holy in all the borders thereof round about .
*
Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred in length ,
with five hundred in breadth ,
square round about ;
and fifty cubits round about for the suburbs thereof .
*
And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty thousand ,
and the breadth of ten thousand :
and in it shall be the sanctuary and the most holy place .
*
The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests the ministers of the sanctuary ,
which shall come near to minister unto the LORD :
and it shall be a place for their houses ,
and an holy place for the sanctuary .
*
And the five and twenty thousand of length ,
and the ten thousand of breadth ,
shall also the Levites ,
the ministers of the house ,
have for themselves ,
for a possession for twenty chambers .
*
And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad ,
and five and twenty thousand long ,
over against the oblation of the holy portion :
it shall be for the whole house of Israel .
*
And a portion shall be for the prince on the one side and on the other side of the oblation of the holy portion ,
and of the possession of the city ,
before the oblation of the holy portion ,
and before the possession of the city ,
from the west side westward ,
and from the east side eastward :
and the length shall be over against one of the portions ,
from the west border unto the east border .
*
In the land shall be his possession in Israel :
and my princes shall no more oppress my people ;
and the rest of the land shall they give to the house of Israel according to their tribes .
*
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Let it suffice you ,
O princes of Israel :
remove violence and spoil ,
and execute judgment and justice ,
take away your exactions from my people ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
Ye shall have just balances ,
and a just ephah ,
and a just bath .
*
The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure ,
that the bath may contain the tenth part of an homer ,
and the ephah the tenth part of an homer :
the measure thereof shall be after the homer .
*
And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs :
twenty shekels ,
five and twenty shekels ,
fifteen shekels ,
shall be your maneh .
*
This is the oblation that ye shall offer ;
the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of wheat ,
and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of barley :
*
Concerning the ordinance of oil ,
the bath of oil ,
ye shall offer the tenth part of a bath out of the cor ,
which is an homer of ten baths ;
for ten baths are an homer :
*
And one lamb out of the flock ,
out of two hundred ,
out of the fat pastures of Israel ;
for a meat offering ,
and for a burnt offering ,
and for peace offerings ,
to make reconciliation for them ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
All the people of the land shall give this oblation for the prince in Israel .
*
And it shall be the prince '
s part to give burnt offerings ,
and meat offerings ,
and drink offerings ,
in the feasts ,
and in the new moons ,
and in the sabbaths ,
in all solemnities of the house of Israel :
he shall prepare the sin offering ,
and the meat offering ,
and the burnt offering ,
and the peace offerings ,
to make reconciliation for the house of Israel .
*
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
In the first month ,
in the first day of the month ,
thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish ,
and cleanse the sanctuary :
*
And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering ,
and put it upon the posts of the house ,
and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar ,
and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court .
*
And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth ,
and for him that is simple :
so shall ye reconcile the house .
*
In the first month ,
in the fourteenth day of the month ,
ye shall have the passover ,
a feast of seven days ;
unleavened bread shall be eaten .
*
And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering .
*
And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the LORD ,
seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days ;
and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering .
*
And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bullock ,
and an ephah for a ram ,
and an hin of oil for an ephah .
*
In the seventh month ,
in the fifteenth day of the month ,
shall he do the like in the feast of the seven days ,
according to the sin offering ,
according to the burnt offering ,
and according to the meat offering ,
and according to the oil .
*
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days ;
but on the sabbath it shall be opened ,
and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened .
*
And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without ,
and shall stand by the post of the gate ,
and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings ,
and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate :
then he shall go forth ;
but the gate shall not be shut until the evening .
*
Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons .
*
And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto the LORD in the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish ,
and a ram without blemish .
*
And the meat offering shall be an ephah for a ram ,
and the meat offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give ,
and an hin of oil to an ephah .
*
And in the day of the new moon it shall be a young bullock without blemish ,
and six lambs ,
and a ram :
they shall be without blemish .
*
And he shall prepare a meat offering ,
an ephah for a bullock ,
and an ephah for a ram ,
and for the lambs according as his hand shall attain unto ,
and an hin of oil to an ephah .
*
And when the prince shall enter ,
he shall go in by the way of the porch of that gate ,
and he shall go forth by the way thereof .
*
But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the solemn feasts ,
he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate ;
and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate :
he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in ,
but shall go forth over against it .
*
And the prince in the midst of them ,
when they go in ,
shall go in ;
and when they go forth ,
shall go forth .
*
And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meat offering shall be an ephah to a bullock ,
and an ephah to a ram ,
and to the lambs as he is able to give ,
and an hin of oil to an ephah .
*
Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto the LORD ,
one shall then open him the gate that looketh toward the east ,
and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings ,
as he did on the sabbath day :
then he shall go forth ;
and after his going forth one shall shut the gate .
*
Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the LORD of a lamb of the first year without blemish :
thou shalt prepare it every morning .
*
And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning ,
the sixth part of an ephah ,
and the third part of an hin of oil ,
to temper with the fine flour ;
a meat offering continually by a perpetual ordinance unto the LORD .
*
Thus shall they prepare the lamb ,
and the meat offering ,
and the oil ,
every morning for a continual burnt offering .
*
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons ,
the inheritance thereof shall be his sons ';
it shall be their possession by inheritance .
*
But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants ,
then it shall be his to the year of liberty ;
after it shall return to the prince :
but his inheritance shall be his sons '
for them .
*
Moreover the prince shall not take of the people '
s inheritance by oppression ,
to thrust them out of their possession ;
but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession :
that my people be not scattered every man from his possession .
*
After he brought me through the entry ,
which was at the side of the gate ,
into the holy chambers of the priests ,
which looked toward the north :
and ,
behold ,
there was a place on the two sides westward .
*
Then said he unto me ,
This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering ,
where they shall bake the meat offering ;
that they bear them not out into the utter court ,
to sanctify the people .
*
Then he brought me forth into the utter court ,
and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court ;
and ,
behold ,
in every corner of the court there was a court .
*
In the four corners of the court there were courts joined of forty cubits long and thirty broad :
these four corners were of one measure .
*
And there was a row of building round about in them ,
round about them four ,
and it was made with boiling places under the rows round about .
*
Then said he unto me ,
These are the places of them that boil ,
where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people .
*
Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house ;
and ,
behold ,
waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward :
for the forefront of the house stood toward the east ,
and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house ,
at the south side of the altar .
*
Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward ,
and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward ;
and ,
behold ,
there ran out waters on the right side .
*
And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward ,
he measured a thousand cubits ,
and he brought me through the waters ;
the waters were to the ankles .
*
Again he measured a thousand ,
and brought me through the waters ;
the waters were to the knees .
Again he measured a thousand ,
and brought me through ;
the waters were to the loins .
*
Afterward he measured a thousand ;
and it was a river that I could not pass over :
for the waters were risen ,
waters to swim in ,
a river that could not be passed over .
*
And he said unto me ,
Son of man ,
hast thou seen this ?
Then he brought me ,
and caused me to return to the brink of the river .
*
Now when I had returned ,
behold ,
at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other .
*
Then said he unto me ,
These waters issue out toward the east country ,
and go down into the desert ,
and go into the sea :
which being brought forth into the sea ,
the waters shall be healed .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
that every thing that liveth ,
which moveth ,
whithersoever the rivers shall come ,
shall live :
and there shall be a very great multitude of fish ,
because these waters shall come thither :
for they shall be healed ;
and every thing shall live whither the river cometh .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim ;
they shall be a place to spread forth nets ;
their fish shall be according to their kinds ,
as the fish of the great sea ,
exceeding many .
*
But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed ;
they shall be given to salt .
*
And by the river upon the bank thereof ,
on this side and on that side ,
shall grow all trees for meat ,
whose leaf shall not fade ,
neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed :
it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months ,
because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary :
and the fruit thereof shall be for meat ,
and the leaf thereof for medicine .
*
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
This shall be the border ,
whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel :
Joseph shall have two portions .
*
And ye shall inherit it ,
one as well as another :
concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers :
and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance .
*
And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side ,
from the great sea ,
the way of Hethlon ,
as men go to Zedad ;
*
Hamath ,
Berothah ,
Sibraim ,
which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath ;
Hazarhatticon ,
which is by the coast of Hauran .
*
And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan ,
the border of Damascus ,
and the north northward ,
and the border of Hamath .
And this is the north side .
*
And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran ,
and from Damascus ,
and from Gilead ,
and from the land of Israel by Jordan ,
from the border unto the east sea .
And this is the east side .
*
And the south side southward ,
from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh ,
the river to the great sea .
And this is the south side southward .
*
The west side also shall be the great sea from the border ,
till a man come over against Hamath .
This is the west side .
*
So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you ,
and to the strangers that sojourn among you ,
which shall beget children among you :
and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel ;
they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth ,
there shall ye give him his inheritance ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
Now these are the names of the tribes .
From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon ,
as one goeth to Hamath ,
Hazarenan ,
the border of Damascus northward ,
to the coast of Hamath ;
for these are his sides east and west ;
a portion for Dan .
*
And by the border of Dan ,
from the east side unto the west side ,
a portion for Asher .
*
And by the border of Asher ,
from the east side even unto the west side ,
a portion for Naphtali .
*
And by the border of Naphtali ,
from the east side unto the west side ,
a portion for Manasseh .
*
And by the border of Manasseh ,
from the east side unto the west side ,
a portion for Ephraim .
*
And by the border of Ephraim ,
from the east side even unto the west side ,
a portion for Reuben .
*
And by the border of Reuben ,
from the east side unto the west side ,
a portion for Judah .
*
And by the border of Judah ,
from the east side unto the west side ,
shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth ,
and in length as one of the other parts ,
from the east side unto the west side :
and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it .
*
The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD shall be of five and twenty thousand in length ,
and of ten thousand in breadth .
*
And for them ,
even for the priests ,
shall be this holy oblation ;
toward the north five and twenty thousand in length ,
and toward the west ten thousand in breadth ,
and toward the east ten thousand in breadth ,
and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length :
and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst thereof .
*
It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok ;
which have kept my charge ,
which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray ,
as the Levites went astray .
*
And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites .
*
And over against the border of the priests the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length ,
and ten thousand in breadth :
all the length shall be five and twenty thousand ,
and the breadth ten thousand .
*
And they shall not sell of it ,
neither exchange ,
nor alienate the firstfruits of the land :
for it is holy unto the LORD .
*
And the five thousand ,
that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand ,
shall be a profane place for the city ,
for dwelling ,
and for suburbs :
and the city shall be in the midst thereof .
*
And these shall be the measures thereof ;
the north side four thousand and five hundred ,
and the south side four thousand and five hundred ,
and on the east side four thousand and five hundred ,
and the west side four thousand and five hundred .
*
And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty ,
and toward the south two hundred and fifty ,
and toward the east two hundred and fifty ,
and toward the west two hundred and fifty .
*
And the residue in length over against the oblation of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward ,
and ten thousand westward :
and it shall be over against the oblation of the holy portion ;
and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city .
*
And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel .
*
All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand :
ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare ,
with the possession of the city .
*
And the residue shall be for the prince ,
on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation ,
and of the possession of the city ,
over against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border ,
and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward the west border ,
over against the portions for the prince :
and it shall be the holy oblation ;
and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof .
*
Moreover from the possession of the Levites ,
and from the possession of the city ,
being in the midst of that which is the prince '
s ,
between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin ,
shall be for the prince .
*
As for the rest of the tribes ,
from the east side unto the west side ,
Benjamin shall have a portion .
*
And by the border of Benjamin ,
from the east side unto the west side ,
Simeon shall have a portion .
*
And by the border of Simeon ,
from the east side unto the west side ,
Issachar a portion .
*
And by the border of Issachar ,
from the east side unto the west side ,
Zebulun a portion .
*
And by the border of Zebulun ,
from the east side unto the west side ,
Gad a portion .
*
And by the border of Gad ,
at the south side southward ,
the border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of strife in Kadesh ,
and to the river toward the great sea .
*
This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance ,
and these are their portions ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
And these are the goings out of the city on the north side ,
four thousand and five hundred measures .
*
And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel :
three gates northward ;
one gate of Reuben ,
one gate of Judah ,
one gate of Levi .
*
And at the east side four thousand and five hundred :
and three gates ;
and one gate of Joseph ,
one gate of Benjamin ,
one gate of Dan .
*
And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures :
and three gates ;
one gate of Simeon ,
one gate of Issachar ,
one gate of Zebulun .
*
At the west side four thousand and five hundred ,
with their three gates ;
one gate of Gad ,
one gate of Asher ,
one gate of Naphtali .
*
It was round about eighteen thousand measures :
and the name of the city from that day shall be ,
The LORD is there .
