“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.” (Ezekiel 45:1-25 AV)
