lesserot Ezekiel:40-48
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:1 @ In the five and twentieth year of our exile, in the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city had been smitten, on the selfsame day came the inspiration of the Lord upon me, and brought me thither.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:2 @ In the visions of God brought he me unto the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mount, on which there was built something like a city on the south.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:3 @ And when he had brought me thither, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of copper, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuringrod: and he was standing in the gate.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:4 @ And the man spoke unto me, Son of man, behold with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, and direct thy heart unto all that I am about to show thee; for in order to show it unto thee art thou brought hither: tell all that thou seest to the house of Israel.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:5 @ And behold there was a wall on the outside of the house all round about, and in the mans hand was a measuringrod of six cubits long by the cubit which was a hands breadth longer than usual; and he measured the breadth of the building, one rod, and the height, one rod.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:6 @ Then came he unto the gate which looked in the direction toward the east, and went up its steps, and measured the threshold of the gate, one rod in breadth, and the other threshold one rod in breadth.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:7 @ And every cell was one rod long, and one rod broad; and between the cells were five cubits: and the threshold of the gate near by the porch of the gate within was one rod.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:8 @ He measured also the porch of the gate within, one rod.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:9 @ Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits, and its doorposts, two cubits: and the porch of the gate was inward.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:10 @ And the cells of the gate in the eastern direction were three on this side, and three on that side, one measure was for all the three; and there was one measure for the doorposts on this side and on that side.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:11 @ And he measured the breadth of the entrance of the gate, ten cubits, the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:12 @ And there was a space before the cells of one cubit on this side, and one cubit space was there on that side: and every cell was of six cubits on this side, and of six cubits on that side.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:13 @ And he measured the gate from the roof of cell to the roof of, in breadth five and twenty cubits, one door being against door.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:14 @ And he made doorposts of sixty cubits, and around the doorposts the court and the gate all round about.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:15 @ And the height of the gate of the entrance as also the height of the porch of the inner gate was fifty cubits.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:16 @ And there were narrow windows in the cells, and by their doorposts within the gate all round about, and likewise in the porches: and windows were all round about inward; and on each door post were palmshaped.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:17 @ Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, there were chambers, and a pavement made for the court all round about: thirty chambers were upon the pavement.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:18 @ And the pavement by the side of the gates was all along the whole length of the gates: this was the lower pavement.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:19 @ Then measured he the breadth from the front of the lower gate unto the front of the inner court, without, one hundred cubits, eastward and northward.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:20 @ And the gate of the outer court that looked in a northern direction, he measured after its length, and its breadth.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:21 @ And its cells were three on this side and three on that side; and its doorposts and its porches were after the measure of the first gate: fifty cubits was its length, and its breadth five and twenty cubits.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:22 @ And its windows, and its porches, and their palmshaped capitals, were after the measure of the gate that looked in an eastern direction: and by seven steps did they go up unto it, and to its porches which were before them.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:23 @ And the gates of the inner court were opposite the gates on the north, and on the east: and he measured from gate to gate one hundred cubits.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:24 @ After that he led me forth to the south side, and behold there was a gate on the south side: and he measured its doorposts and its porches after these measures.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:25 @ And there were windows in it and in its porches all round about, like the other windows: it was fifty cubits in length, and in breadth five and twenty cubits.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:26 @ And by seven steps was the ascent to it, and to its porches which were before them; and it had palmshaped capitals, one on this side, and another on that side, upon its doorposts.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:27 @ And there was a gate in the inner court on the south side: and he measured from gate to gate on the south side one hundred cubits.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:28 @ And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate; and he measured the south gate after these measures;
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:29 @ And its cells, and its doorposts, and its porches were after these measures; and there were windows in it and in its porches all round about: it was fifty cubits in length, and in breadth five and twenty cubits.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:30 @ And arched passages were all round about, five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:31 @ And its porches were toward the outer court; and palmshaped capitals were upon its doorposts: and its ascent was by eight steps.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:32 @ And he brought me into the inner court on the east side; and he measured the gate after these measures;
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:33 @ And its cells and its doorposts, and its porches, were according to these measures; and there were windows in it and in its porches all round about: its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth five and twenty cubits.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:34 @ And its porches were toward the outward court; and palmshaped capitals were upon its doorposts, on this side, and on that side: and by eight steps was the ascent to it.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:35 @ And he brought me to the north gate, and he measured it after these measures;
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:36 @ Its cells, its doorposts, and its porches; and the windows in it were all round about: its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth five and twenty cubits.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:37 @ And its doorposts were toward the outer court; and palmshaped capitals were upon its doorposts, on this side, and on that side: and by eight steps was the ascent to it.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:38 @ And there was a chamber with its door by the doorposts of the gates, where they washed off the burntofferings.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:39 @ And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slaughter thereon the burntofferings and the sinofferings and the trespassofferings.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:40 @ And at the side without, as one went up to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side of the porch of the gate were two tables;
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:41 @ Four tables being on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate, eight tables, whereupon they slaughtered.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:42 @ And there were four tables of hewn stone for the burntofferings, of a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon they laid the instruments wherewith they slaughtered the burntofferings and the sacrifices.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:43 @ And hooks, a hand long, were fastened within all round about: and on the tables was placed the flesh of the offerings.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:44 @ 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 front was toward the south side: one was at the side of the east gate having the front toward the north side.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:45 @ And he spoke unto me, This chamber, the front of which is toward the south, is for the priests who have the charge of the house.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:46 @ And the chamber, the front of which is toward the north, is for the priests who have the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who come near, from among the sons of Levi, to the Lord to minister unto him.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:47 @ So he measured the court, in length one hundred cubits, and in breadth one hundred cubits, foursquare: and the altar before the house.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:48 @ And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each doorpost 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.
lesserot@Ezekiel:40:49 @ The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits, together with the steps whereby they went up to it: and there were pillars by the doorposts, one on this side, and another on that side.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:1 @ And he brought me to the temple: and he measured the doorposts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, the breadth of the tabernacle.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:2 @ 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 its length, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:3 @ Then went he inward, and measured the posts of the door, two cubits; and the door was six cubits high; and the breadth of the door, was seven cubits.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:4 @ And he measured its length, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, fronting on the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:5 @ After this he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every sidechamber was four cubits, all round about the house on every side.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:6 @ And the sidechambers were one over another, three and thirty times; and they entered into the wall which was on the house for the sidechambers all round about, that they might be fastened on, but they were not fastened on the wall of the house.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:7 @ And as one wound upward it became continually wider for the sidechambers; for the row of chambers about the house went more and more upward round about the house; therefore was the breadth of the house greater upward: and so they ascended from the lowest chambers to the highest through the middle ones.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:8 @ And I saw the height of the house all round about: the foundations of the sidechambers were a full rod of six cubits under ground.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:9 @ The thickness of the wall, which was for the sidechambers without, was five cubits, as also the space which was left open by the row of the sidechambers that were on the house.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:10 @ And between the chambers there was a width of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:11 @ And the doors of the sidechambers were on the open space, one door was in a northern direction, and another door on the south; and the breadth of the place that was left open was five cubits all round about.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:12 @ Now the building that was before the main wing on the west side was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and its length, ninety cubits.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:13 @ So he measured the house, in length one hundred cubits; and the main wing, and the building, with its walls, in length one hundred cubits;
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:14 @ Also the breadth in the front of the house, and of the main wing on the east, was one hundred cubits.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:15 @ And he measured the length of the building on the front side of the main wing which was behind it, and its cornerpillars on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits; and this included the inner temple, and the porches of the court;
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:16 @ The thresholds, and the narrow windows, and the cornerpillars were round about on their three sides: opposite the threshold there was a wainscoting of wood all round about, and so from the ground up to the windows; and the windows were covered.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:17 @ On the part above the door, and as far as the inner house, and the outer, was, and on all the wall round about within and without, by measure;
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:18 @ And it was ornamented with cherubim and palmtrees, a palmtree being between two cherubim; and every cherub had two faces;
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:19 @ So that a human face was toward the palmtree on the one side, and a young lions face toward the palmtree on the other side: it was so made on all the house round about.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:20 @ From the ground to the part above the door were the cherubim and the palmtrees made, and so on the wall of the temple.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:21 @ The temple had fourcornered doorposts, and the front of the holy of holies had the appearance as the appearance.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:22 @ The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length was two cubits; and its corners, and its toppiece, and its walls, were of wood: and he spoke unto me, This is the table that is before the Lord.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:23 @ And the temple and the holy of holies had two doors.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:24 @ And the doors had two leaves, two turning leaves, two for the one door, and two leaves for the other.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:25 @ And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palmtrees, as they were made upon the walls; and thick wooden planks was upon the front of the porch without.
lesserot@Ezekiel:41:26 @ And there were narrow windows and palmtrees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and on the sidechambers of the house, and the thick planks.
lesserot@Ezekiel:42:1 @ And he led me forth into the outer court, on the way to the north side; and he brought me into the chambers that was opposite the main wing, and which was opposite the building toward the north;
lesserot@Ezekiel:42:2 @ On the front side the length was a hundred cubits, the north door, while the breadth was fifty cubits.
lesserot@Ezekiel:42:3 @ Opposite the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and opposite the pavement which was for the outer court, was cornerpillar before cornerpillar in the three stories.
lesserot@Ezekiel:42:4 @ And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits in breadth toward the inner house, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north.
lesserot@Ezekiel:42:5 @ Now the upper chambers were shorter than the lowest and than the middle chambers of the building.
lesserot@Ezekiel:42:6 @ For they were in three stories, but had not pillars like the pillars of the courts: therefore was something taken off the lowest and the middle ones from the ground.
lesserot@Ezekiel:42:7 @ And the wall that was without alongside the chambers, toward the outer court in front of the chambers, was in its length fifty cubits.
lesserot@Ezekiel:42:8 @ For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits; and lo, in front of the temple was one hundred cubits.
lesserot@Ezekiel:42:9 @ And beneath these chambers was the entrance from the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court.
lesserot@Ezekiel:42:10 @ On the breadth of the wall of the court in an eastern direction before the main wing, and before the building, were chambers.
lesserot@Ezekiel:42:11 @ And the way before them was of like appearance as that for the chambers which were on the north side, of the same length and the same breadth; and all their means of egress, and their arrangement, and their doors were of the like manner.
lesserot@Ezekiel:42:12 @ And so also were the doors of the chambers that were on the south side, a door being on the head of the way, of the way directly before the wall on the east side, as one entereth into them.
lesserot@Ezekiel:42:13 @ And he said unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers which are in front of the main wing,these are the holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the Lord shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, namely, the meatoffering, and the sinoffering, and the trespassoffering; for the place is holy.
lesserot@Ezekiel:42:14 @ When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the sanctuary into the outer court; but there shall they lay down their garments wherein they may have ministered; for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall then approach to which is for the people.
lesserot@Ezekiel:42:15 @ Now when he had finished the measurings of the inner house, he led me forth by the way of the gate which looked in an eastern direction, and measured it all round about.
lesserot@Ezekiel:42:16 @ He measured the east side with the measuringrod, five hundred rods, with the measuringrod round about.
lesserot@Ezekiel:42:17 @ He measured the north aide, five hundred rods, with the measuringrod round about.
lesserot@Ezekiel:42:18 @ The south side he measured, five hundred rods, with the measuringrod.
lesserot@Ezekiel:42:19 @ He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred rods with the measuringrod.
lesserot@Ezekiel:42:20 @ On the four sides did he measure it by the wall that was all round about, five hundred rods in length, and in breadth five hundred, to make a separation between the holy place and the profane.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:1 @ Then did he lead me to the gate, even the gate that was turned in an eastern direction.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:2 @ 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 gave light from his glory.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:3 @ And it was like the appearance of the vision which I had seen, yea, like the vision that I had seen when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I had seen by the river Kebar: and I fell upon my face.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:4 @ And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the gate which was turned in an eastern direction.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:5 @ Then did the Spirit take me up, and bring me into the inner court: and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:6 @ And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and a man was standing alongside of me.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:7 @ And he said unto me, Son of man, is 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 forever: and the house of Israel shall not defile any more my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their lewdness, nor by the carcasses of their kings on their highplaces.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:8 @ Inasmuch as they placed their threshold by my threshold, and their doorposts close by my doorposts, and the wall being only between me and them, and they defiled my holy name by their abominations which they committed; so that I made an end of them in my anger.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:9 @ Now will they have to put away their lewdness, and the carcasses of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:10 @ Thou, son of man, tell the house of Israel of the house, that they may be confounded because of their iniquities: and let them measure the outlines.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:11 @ And if they be confounded because of all that they have done: then let them know the form of the house, and its arrangements, and its means of egress, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its statutes, and all its forms, and all its laws, and write them down before their eyes; that they may observe the whole of its form, and all its statutes, and carry them out.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:12 @ This is the law for the house, Upon the top of the mount shall its whole limit all round about be most holy: behold, this is the law for the house.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:13 @ And these are the measures of the altar in cubits, The cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth; and the bottom shall be a cubit high, and a cubit broad, and its border on its edge round about shall be a span: and this shall be the outside of the altar.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:14 @ And from the bottom upon the ground up to the lower projection shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser projection up to the greater projection shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:15 @ And the upper portion of the altar shall be four cubits; and from the upper surface of the altar and upward shall be the four horns.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:16 @ And the upper surface of the altar shall be twelve cubits long, by twelve broad, square on its four sides.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:17 @ And the projection shall be fourteen cubits in length, by fourteen in breadth on its four sides; and the border round about it shall be half a cubit; and its bottom shall be a cubit round about; and its steps shall look toward the east.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:18 @ And he said unto me, Son of man, thus hath said the Lord Eternal, These are the statutes of the altar on the day when it shall be finished, to offer thereon burntofferings, and to sprinkle thereon blood.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:19 @ And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who approach unto me, saith the Lord Eternal, to minister unto me, a young bullock for a sinoffering.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:20 @ And thou shalt take of his blood, and put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the projection, and upon the border round about; and thou shalt cleanse it and make an atonement for it.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:21 @ And thou shalt take the bullock of the sinoffering, and some one shall burn him at an appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:22 @ And on the second day shalt thou offer a hegoat without blemish for a sinoffering: and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bullock.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:23 @ When thou hast made an end of cleansing it, shalt thou offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:24 @ And thou shalt bring them near before the Lord, and the priests shall throw salt upon them, and they shall offer them up as a burntoffering unto the Lord.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:25 @ Seven days shalt thou prepare a goat for a sinoffering every day; and a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish shall they prepare.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:26 @ Seven days shall they atone for the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate the same.
lesserot@Ezekiel:43:27 @ And when these days are expired, it shall be, that on the eighth day, and thenceforward, the priests shall prepare upon the altar your burntofferings, and your peaceofferings: and I will accept you in favor, saith the Lord Eternal.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:1 @ And he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary which looked toward the east: and it was locked.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:2 @ Then said the Lord unto me, This gate shall remain locked, 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 shall it remain locked.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:3 @ As for the prince, being the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the Lord: by the way of the porch of that gate shall he enter, and by the way of the same shall he go out.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:4 @ Then brought he me by 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.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:5 @ And the Lord said unto me, Son of man, direct thy mind, and see with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears all that I am speaking with thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the Lord, and of all its laws; and direct thy mind to the entrance of the house, with every place of egress of the sanctuary.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:6 @ And thou shalt say to the rebellious, to the house of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Ye have done enough with all your abominations, O house of Israel!
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:7 @ In your having brought the sons of the stranger, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, while you were offering my food, the fat and the blood: so that they broke my covenant because of all your abominations.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:8 @ And ye have not kept the charge of my holy things; but ye have set as keepers of my charge in my sanctuary at your own pleasure.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:9 @ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, No son of the stranger, uncircumcised in heart, or uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of all the sons of the stranger that are in the midst of the children of Israel.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:10 @ But as respecteth the Levites that were gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, who went astray away from me, after their idols, they shall surely bear their iniquity;
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:11 @ And they shall be in my sanctuary, servants, appointed to watch at the gates of the house, and to be servants for the house: these are they that shall slay the burntofferings and the sacrifices for the people, and they shall stand before them to do the service for them.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:12 @ Because that they used to serve them before their idols, and have been unto the house of Israel as a stumblingblock of iniquity; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord Eternal, and they shall bear their iniquity;
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:13 @ And they shall not come near unto me, to officiate as priests unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the most holy things; but they shall bear their shame, yea, for their abominations which they have committed.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:14 @ And I will appoint them to be keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:15 @ 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,these are they that shall come near unto me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord Eternal:
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:16 @ These are they that shall enter into my sanctuary, and these shall come near to my table, to minister unto me; and they shall keep my charge.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:17 @ And it shall come to pass, that, when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall clothe themselves with linen garments; and there shall no wool come upon them, when they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within the house.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:18 @ Linen bonnets shall be upon their heads, and linen breeches shall be upon their loins: they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:19 @ And when they go forth into the outer court, into the outer court to the people: then shall they put off their garments wherein they have ministered, and they shall lay them down in the holy chambers; and they shall put on other garments, and they shall not mingle among the people with their garments.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:20 @ And their heads shall they not shave close, nor suffer their hair to grow long: they shall only crop their heads.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:21 @ And wine shall none of the priests drink when they enter into the inner court.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:22 @ And a widow, or one that is divorced from her husband shall they not take to themselves as wives; but only virgins of the seed of the house of Israel; but whatever widow it may be, the priests may take.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:23 @ And my people shall they teach the difference between the holy and profane, and that between the unclean and the clean shall they make known unto them.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:24 @ And in a controversy shall they stand up to judge, according to my ordinances shall they decide it: and my laws and my statutes at all my festivals shall they observe, and my sabbaths shall they sanctify.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:25 @ And to a dead person shall they not come to defile themselves; but on father, or on mother, or on son, or on daughter, on brother, or on sister that hath had no husband, may they defile themselves.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:26 @ And after he is become clean,they shall reckon unto him seven days,
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:27 @ Then shall he on the day that he cometh into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, offer his sinoffering, saith the Lord Eternal.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:28 @ And it shall be unto them as an inheritance, I am their inheritance: and any possession shall you not give them in Israel, I am their possession.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:29 @ The meatoffering, and the sinoffering, and the trespassofferingthese shall they eat; and every devoted thing in Israel shall belong to them.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:30 @ And the first of all kinds of firstfruits of all, and every kind of heaveoffering of every thing of all your heaveofferings, shall belong to the priests; and the first of your dough shall you give to the priest, to cause a blessing to rest on thy house.
lesserot@Ezekiel:44:31 @ Any thing that hath died of itself, or that is torn, whether it be fowl or beast, shall the priests not eat.
lesserot@Ezekiel:45:1 @ And when ye divide the land by lot for an inheritance, shall ye offer an oblation unto the Lord, as a holy portion of the land, five and twenty thousand rods in length, and in breadth ten thousand. This shall be holy in all its extent round about.

lesserot@Ezekiel:45:8 @ As landed property shall it be his possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more wrong my people; but the land shall they give to the house of Israel according to their tribes.
lesserot@Ezekiel:45:9 @ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Ye have done enough wrong, O princes of Israel: remove violence and robbery, and execute justice and righteousness; take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord Eternal.
lesserot@Ezekiel:45:10 @ Just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath shall ye have.

lesserot@Ezekiel:45:18 @ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, In the first month, on the first of the month, shalt thou take a young bullock without blemish, and make an expiation for the sanctuary.
lesserot@Ezekiel:45:19 @ And the priest shall take some of the blood of the sinoffering, and put it upon the doorpost of the house, and upon the four corners of the projection of the altar, and upon the doorpost of the gate of the inner court.

lesserot@Ezekiel:46:8 @ And when the prince doth enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and by the same way shall he go forth.
lesserot@Ezekiel:46:9 @ But when the people of the land come before the Lord on the appointed feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to bow himself down shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go out by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in; but by that opposite to him shall he go out.
lesserot@Ezekiel:46:10 @ And as for the princein the midst of them, when they go in, shall he go in; and when they go out, shall they go out.
lesserot@Ezekiel:46:11 @ And on the feasts and on the appointed festivals shall the meatoffering be an ephah for each bullock, and an ephah for each ram, and for the sheep as his hand may be able to give, and a hin of oil for every ephah.
lesserot@Ezekiel:46:12 @ And when the prince doth prepare as a voluntary gift a burntoffering, or a peaceoffering, as a voluntary gift unto the Lord: then shall be opened for him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burntoffering and his peaceoffering, as he usually doth on the sabbathday; and he shall go out, and the gate shall be locked after his going out.
lesserot@Ezekiel:46:13 @ And a sheep of the first year without blemish shalt thou prepare as a burntoffering every day unto the Lord: morning by morning shalt thou prepare it.
lesserot@Ezekiel:46:14 @ And as a meatoffering shalt thou prepare with it, morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third of a hin of oil, to mingle with the fine floura meatoffering unto the Lord, as ordinances for ever continually.
lesserot@Ezekiel:46:15 @ Thus shall they prepare the sheep, and the meatoffering, and the oil, morning by morning, as a continual burntoffering.
lesserot@Ezekiel:46:16 @ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, If the prince make gift unto any one of his sons, it is his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons: it shall be their possession as their inheritance.
lesserot@Ezekiel:46:17 @ But if he make a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants: then shall it remain his to the year of freedom, when it shall return to the prince; but his inheritance shall only remain for his sons.
lesserot@Ezekiel:46:18 @ But the prince shall not take any thing from the inheritance of the people, to wrong them out of their possession: out of his own possession can he give an inheritance to his sons; in order that not one of my people be deprived of his possession.
lesserot@Ezekiel:46:19 @ And then he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place by the back wall on the west side.
lesserot@Ezekiel:46:20 @ And he said unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespassoffering and the sinoffering, where they shall bake the meatoffering; so as not to carry the same out into the outer court, to mingle with the people.
lesserot@Ezekiel:46:21 @ Then did he lead me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass along the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.
lesserot@Ezekiel:46:22 @ In the four corners of the court there were uncovered courts of forty cubits in length and thirty in breadth: there was one measure for all these four in the corners.
lesserot@Ezekiel:46:23 @ And there was a shelf of masonry round about in them, round about all these four, and it was furnished with hearths for boiling under the shelves round about.
lesserot@Ezekiel:46:24 @ Then said he unto me, These are the places of those that boil, where the servants of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
lesserot@Ezekiel:47:1 @ And he brought me back again unto the door of the house: and, behold, water was issuing out from under the threshold of the house eastward; for the front of the house stood toward the east; and the water came down from under, from the right side of the house, to the south of the altar.
lesserot@Ezekiel:47:2 @ Then did he bring me out by the way of the gate northwards and led me about the way without unto the outer gate by the way that looked eastward: and, behold, the water was running on the right side.
lesserot@Ezekiel:47:3 @ When the man went forth eastward, having the measuringline in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he led me through the water, the water reaching to the ankles.
lesserot@Ezekiel:47:4 @ Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water, the water reaching to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and led me through, the water reaching to the loins.
lesserot@Ezekiel:47:5 @ And he measured again a thousand, it being a stream that I could not wade through; for the water was increased, being water fit to swim in, a stream that could not be waded through.
lesserot@Ezekiel:47:6 @ And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this: Then did he lead me, and caused me to return to the bank of the stream.
lesserot@Ezekiel:47:7 @ Now when I returned, behold, there were at the banks of the stream very many trees, on the one side and on the other.
lesserot@Ezekiel:47:8 @ Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the eastern district, and go down into the plain, and fall into the sea, being carried forth into the sea, so that the waters shall be healed.
lesserot@Ezekiel:47:9 @ And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the doublestream shall come, shall live: and the fish shall be in great abundance; for when this water shall have come thither, shall be healed, and every thing shall live whither the stream cometh.
lesserot@Ezekiel:47:10 @ And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand by it; from Engedi even unto Eneglayim, there shall be places for the spreading out of nets: after their various kinds shall the fish thereof be, like the fish of the great sea, exceedingly many.
lesserot@Ezekiel:47:11 @ But its swamps and its lagoons shall not be healed, for salt are they destined.
lesserot@Ezekiel:47:12 @ And by the stream upon its banks, on this side and on that side, shall grow up all kinds of trees for food, the leaves of which shall not fade, and the fruit of which shall not come to an end, every month shall they bring forth new ripe fruit; because its water is that which issueth out of the sanctuary; and their fruit shall serve for food, and their leaves for remedies.
lesserot@Ezekiel:47:13 @ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, This shall be the boundary, whereby ye shall divide out the land unto the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.
lesserot@Ezekiel:47:14 @ And ye shall inherit it, every one like the other, concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for an inheritance.
