It shall be holyH6944 within allH3605 its boundaryH1366 roundH5439 aboutH5439. 2Out of thisH2088 there shall be for the holyH6944 place a squareH7251 roundH5439 aboutH5439 7fiveH2568 hundredH3967 by fiveH2568 hundredH3967 cubits, and fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 for its 89openH4054 spaceH4054 roundH5439 aboutH5439. 3From thisH2088 10areaH4060 you shall measureH4058 a lengthH753 of 25,000H2568H6242H505 cubits and a widthH7341 of 10,000H6235H505 cubits; and in it shall be the sanctuaryH4720, the mostH6944 holyH6944 placeH6944. 4It shall be the holyH6944 portionH6944 of the landH776; it shall be for the 11priestsH3548, the ministersH8334 of the sanctuaryH4720, who 12comeH7131 nearH7131 to ministerH8334 to the LordH3068, and it shall be a placeH4725 for their housesH1004 and a holyH4720 placeH4720 for the sanctuaryH4720. 5An area 1325,000H2568H6242H505 cubits in lengthH753 and 10,000H6235H505 in widthH7341 shall be for the LevitesH3881, the ministersH8334 of the houseH1004, and for their possessionH272 14cities to dwell in.

7“The 17princeH5387 shall have land on eitherH2088 sideH2088 of the holyH6944 18allotmentH8641 and the 19propertyH272 of the cityH5892, adjacentH413H6440 to the holyH6944 20allotmentH8641 and the 21propertyH272 of the cityH5892, on the westH3220 sideH6285 toward the westH3220 and on the eastH6924 sideH6285 toward the eastH6921, and in lengthH753 comparableH5980 to oneH259 of the portionsH2506, from the westH3220 borderH1366 to the eastH6921 borderH1366. 8This shall be his landH776 for a possessionH272 in IsraelH3478; so My princesH5387 shall noH3808 longerH5750 22oppressH3238 My peopleH5971, but they shall giveH5414 the rest of the landH776 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 23according to their tribesH7626.”
9‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 24GodH3068, “25EnoughH7227, you princesH5387 of IsraelH3478; putH5493 awayH5493 26violenceH2555 and destructionH7701, and 27practiceH6213 justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666. StopH7311 your 28expropriationsH1646 from My peopleH5971,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.
10“You shall haveH1961 29justH6664 balancesH3976, a justH6664 30ephahH374 and a justH6664 31bathH1324. 11The ephahH374 and the bathH1324 shall be 32the sameH259 quantityH8506, so that the bathH1324 will containH5375 a tenthH4643 of a 33homerH2563 and the ephahH374 a tenthH6224 of a homerH2563; 34their standardH4971 shall be accordingH413 to the homerH2563. 12The 35shekelH8255 shall be twentyH6242 36gerahsH1626; twentyH6242 shekelsH8255, twenty-fiveH6242H2568 shekelsH8255, and fifteenH2568H6235 shekelsH8255 shall be your 37manehH4488.
13“ThisH2088 is the offeringH8641 that you shall offerH7311: a sixthH8345 of an ephahH374 from a homerH2563 of wheatH2406; a sixthH8341 of an ephahH374 from a homerH2563 of barleyH8184; 14and the prescribedH2706 portionH2706 of oilH8081 (namely, the bathH1324 of oilH8081), a tenthH4643 of a bathH1324 from each korH3734 (which is tenH6235 bathsH1324 or a homerH2563, for tenH6235 bathsH1324 are a homerH2563); 15and oneH259 sheepH7716 from each flockH6629 of two hundredH3967 from the wateringH4945 placesH4945 of IsraelH3478--for a 38grain offeringH4503, for a burntH5930 offeringH5930 and for peaceH8002 offeringsH8002, to 39makeH3722 atonementH3722 for them,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. 16“40AllH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776 shall 41giveH1961 to thisH2088 offeringH8641 for the 42princeH5387 in IsraelH3478. 17It shall be the 43prince’sH5387 partH5921 to provide the 44burntH5930 offeringsH5930, the grain offeringsH4503 and the drinkH5262 offeringsH5262, at the 45feastsH2282, on the 46newH2320 moonsH2320 and on the sabbathsH7676, at allH3605 the appointedH4150 feastsH4150 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; he shall provideH6213 the sinH2403 offeringH2403, the grain offeringH4503, the burntH5930 offeringH5930 and the 47peaceH8002 offeringsH8002, to makeH3722 atonementH3722 for the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.”
18‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “In the 48firstH7223 month, on the firstH259 of the monthH2320, you shall takeH3947 a youngH1121 bullH6499 49withoutH8549 blemishH8549 and 50cleanseH2398 the sanctuaryH4720. 19The priestH3548 shall takeH3947 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 from the sinH2403 offeringH2403 and putH5414 it on the doorH4201 postsH4201 of the houseH1004, on the 51fourH702 cornersH6438 of the 52ledgeH5835 of the altarH4196 and on the postsH4201 of the gateH8179 of the innerH6442 courtH2691. 20ThusH3651 you shall doH6213 on the seventhH7651 day of the monthH2320 for everyoneH376 who goesH7686 53astrayH7686 or is 54naiveH6612; so you shall makeH3722 55atonementH3722 for the houseH1004.
21“In the 56firstH7223 month, on the fourteenthH702H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, you shall haveH1961 the 57PassoverH6453, a feastH2282 of sevenH7620 daysH3117; unleavenedH4682 breadH4682 shall be eatenH398. 22On that dayH3117 the princeH5387 shall provideH6213 for himself and allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776 a 58bullH6499 for a sinH2403 offeringH2403. 23During the 59sevenH7651 daysH3117 of the feastH2282 he shall provideH6213 as a 60burntH5930 offeringH5930 to the LordH3068 61sevenH7651 bullsH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352 withoutH8549 blemishH8549 on everyH3117 dayH3117 of the sevenH7651 daysH3117, and a maleH8163 goatH5795 dailyH3117 for a sinH2403 offeringH2403. 24He shall provideH6213 as a 62grain offeringH4503 an ephahH374 63with a bullH6499, an ephahH374 64with a ramH352 and a hinH1969 of oilH8081 65with an ephahH374. 25In the 66seventhH7637 month, on the fifteenthH2568H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, at the feastH2282, he shall provideH6213 like thisH428, sevenH7651 daysH3117 67for the sinH2403 offeringH2403, the burntH5930 offeringH5930, the grain offeringH4503 and the oilH8081.”
