Ezekiel 45

New American Standard Bible 1995

The Lord’s Portion of the Land

1“And when you 1divide by lot the land for inheritance, you shall offer 2an 3allotment to the Lord, a 4holy portion of the land; the length shall be the length of 25,000 5cubits, and the width shall be 620,000. It shall be holy within all its boundary round about. 2Out of this there shall be for the holy place a square round about 7five hundred by five hundred cubits, and fifty cubits for its 89open space round about. 3From this 10area you shall measure a length of 25,000 cubits and a width of 10,000 cubits; and in it shall be the sanctuary, the most holy place. 4It shall be the holy portion of the land; it shall be for the 11priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who 12come near to minister to the Lord, and it shall be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary. 5An area 1325,000 cubits in length and 10,000 in width shall be for the Levites, the ministers of the house, and for their possession 14cities to dwell in.

6“You shall give the 15city possession of an area 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long, alongside the 16allotment of the holy portion; it shall be for the whole house of Israel.

Portion for the Prince

7“The 17prince shall have land on either side of the holy 18allotment and the 19property of the city, adjacent to the holy 20allotment and the 21property of the city, on the west side toward the west and on the east side toward the east, and in length comparable to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border. 8This shall be his land for a possession in Israel; so My princes shall no longer 22oppress My people, but they shall give the rest of the land to the house of Israel 23according to their tribes.”

9‘Thus says the Lord 24God, “25Enough, you princes of Israel; put away 26violence and destruction, and 27practice justice and righteousness. Stop your 28expropriations from My people,” declares the Lord God.

10“You shall have 29just balances, a just 30ephah and a just 31bath. 11The ephah and the bath shall be 32the same quantity, so that the bath will contain a tenth of a 33homer and the ephah a tenth of a homer; 34their standard shall be according to the homer. 12The 35shekel shall be twenty 36gerahs; twenty shekels, twenty-five shekels, and fifteen shekels shall be your 37maneh.

13“This is the offering that you shall offer: a sixth of an ephah from a homer of wheat; a sixth of an ephah from a homer of barley; 14and the prescribed portion of oil (namely, the bath of oil), a tenth of a bath from each kor (which is ten baths or a homer, for ten baths are a homer); 15and one sheep from each flock of two hundred from the watering places of Israel--for a 38grain offering, for a burnt offering and for peace offerings, to 39make atonement for them,” declares the Lord God. 16“40All the people of the land shall 41give to this offering for the 42prince in Israel. 17It shall be the 43prince’s part to provide the 44burnt offerings, the grain offerings and the drink offerings, at the 45feasts, on the 46new moons and on the sabbaths, at all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel; he shall provide the sin offering, the grain offering, the burnt offering and the 47peace offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.”

18‘Thus says the Lord God, “In the 48first month, on the first of the month, you shall take a young bull 49without blemish and 50cleanse the sanctuary. 19The priest shall take some of the blood from the sin offering and put it on the door posts of the house, on the 51four corners of the 52ledge of the altar and on the posts of the gate of the inner court. 20Thus you shall do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who goes 53astray or is 54naive; so you shall make 55atonement for the house.

21“In the 56first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall have the 57Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten. 22On that day the prince shall provide for himself and all the people of the land a 58bull for a sin offering. 23During the 59seven days of the feast he shall provide as a 60burnt offering to the Lord 61seven bulls and seven rams without blemish on every day of the seven days, and a male goat daily for a sin offering. 24He shall provide as a 62grain offering an ephah 63with a bull, an ephah 64with a ram and a hin of oil 65with an ephah. 25In the 66seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, at the feast, he shall provide like this, seven days 67for the sin offering, the burnt offering, the grain offering and the oil.”
