Ezekiel:45
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
Moreover ,
when you divide the land by lot into inheritance ,
you shall set apart a district for the LORD ,
a holy section of the land ;
its length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits ,
and the width ten thousand .
It shall be holy throughout its territory all around .
*
Of this there shall be a square plot for the sanctuary ,
five hundred by five hundred rods ,
with fifty cubits around it for an open space .
*
So this is the district you shall measure :
twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand wide ;
in it shall be the sanctuary ,
the Most Holy Place .
*
It shall be a holy section of the land ,
belonging to the priests ,
the ministers of the sanctuary ,
who come near to minister to the LORD ;
it shall be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary .
*
An area twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand wide shall belong to the Levites ,
the ministers of the temple ;
they shall have twenty chambers as a possession .
* "
You shall appoint as the property of the city an area five thousand cubits wide and twenty-five thousand long ,
adjacent to the district of the holy section ;
it shall belong to the whole house of Israel .
* "
The prince shall have a section on one side and the other of the holy district and the city '
s property ;
and bordering on the holy district and the city '
s property ,
extending westward on the west side and eastward on the east side ,
the length shall be side by side with one of the tribal portions ,
from the west border to the east border .
*
The land shall be his possession in Israel ;
and My princes shall no more oppress My people ,
but they shall give the rest of the land to the house of Israel ,
according to their tribes ."
* "
Thus says the Lord GOD : "
Enough ,
O princes of Israel !
Remove violence and plundering ,
execute justice and righteousness ,
and stop dispossessing My people ,"
says the Lord GOD .
* "
You shall have honest scales ,
an honest ephah ,
and an honest bath .
*
The ephah and the bath shall be of the same measure ,
so that the bath contains one-tenth of a homer ,
and the ephah one-tenth of a homer ;
their measure shall be according to the homer .
*
The shekel shall be twenty gerahs ;
twenty shekels ,
twenty-five shekels ,
and fifteen shekels shall be your mina .
* "
This is the offering which you shall offer :
you shall give one-sixth of an ephah from a homer of wheat ,
and one-sixth of an ephah from a homer of barley .
*
The ordinance concerning oil ,
the bath of oil ,
is one-tenth of a bath from a kor .
A kor is a homer or ten baths ,
for ten baths are a homer .
*
And one lamb shall be given from a flock of two hundred ,
from the rich pastures of Israel .
These shall be for grain offerings ,
burnt offerings ,
and peace offerings ,
to make atonement for them ,"
says the Lord GOD .
* "
All the people of the land shall give this offering for the prince in Israel .
*
Then it shall be the prince '
s part to give burnt offerings ,
grain offerings ,
and drink offerings ,
at the feasts ,
the New Moons ,
the Sabbaths ,
and at all the appointed seasons of the house of Israel .
He shall prepare the sin offering ,
the grain offering ,
the burnt offering ,
and the peace offerings to make atonement for the house of Israel ."
* "
Thus says the Lord GOD : "
In the first month ,
on the first day of the month ,
you shall take a young bull without blemish and cleanse the sanctuary .
*
The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the temple ,
on the four corners of the ledge of the altar ,
and on the gateposts of the gate of the inner court .
*
And so you shall do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who has sinned unintentionally or in ignorance .
Thus you shall make atonement for the temple .
* "
In the first month ,
on the fourteenth day of the month ,
you shall observe the Passover ,
a feast of seven days ;
unleavened bread shall be eaten .
*
And on that day the prince shall prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering .
*
On the seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the LORD ,
seven bulls and seven rams without blemish ,
daily for seven days ,
and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering .
*
And he shall prepare a grain offering of one ephah for each bull and one ephah for each ram ,
together with a hin of oil for each ephah .
* "
In the seventh month ,
on the fifteenth day of the month ,
at the feast ,
he shall do likewise for seven days ,
according to the sin offering ,
the burnt offering ,
the grain offering ,
and the oil ."
