* 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 .
