Ezekiel

1 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. 2 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. 3 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. 4 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. 5 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. 6 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. 7 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. 8 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. 9 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. 10 Ye shall have just bal­ances, and a just ephah, and a just bath. 11 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. 12 And the shekel shall be twen­ty ger­ahs: twen­ty shekels, five and twen­ty shekels, fif­teen shekels, shall be your maneh. 13 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: 14 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: 15 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. 16 All the peo­ple of the land shall give this obla­tion for the prince in Is­rael. 17 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. 18 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: 19 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. 20 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. 21 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. 22 And upon that day shall the prince pre­pare for him­self and for all the peo­ple of the land a bul­lock for a sin of­fer­ing. 23 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. 24 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. 25 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.
