Holy Bible
(King James Version)
Ezekiel:
Chapter 45
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 ministers 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 e-phah, and a just bath.
11. The e-phah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may
contain the tenth part of an ho-mer, and the ephah the tenth part of an
homer: the measure thereof shall be after the homer.
12. And the she-kel shall be twenty ge-rahs: twenty shekels, five and
twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your ma-neh.
13. This is the oblation that ye shall offer; the sixth part of an e-phah
of an ho-mer 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 ho-mer 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 e-phah for a bullock, and
an ephah for a ram, and an him 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.
