1 Moreover, when you shall divide by lot the land for
inheritance, you shall offer an offering to Yahweh, a holy portion of
the land; the length shall be the length of twenty-five thousand
reeds, and the breadth shall be ten thousand: it shall be holy in all
the border of it round about. 2 Of this there shall be for the holy place
five hundred in length by five hundred in breadth, square
round about; and fifty cubits for the suburbs of it round about. 3 Of this
measure shall you measure a length of twenty-five thousand, and a breadth of
ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary, which is most holy. 4 It
is a holy portion of the land; it shall be for the priests, the ministers of
the sanctuary, who come near to minister to Yahweh; and it shall be a place
for their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary. 5 Twenty-five
thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth, shall be to the Levites, the
ministers of the house, for a possession to themselves, for twenty
chambers. 6 You shall appoint the possession of the city five
thousand broad, and twenty-five thousand long, side by side with the offering
of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.
7 Whatever is for the prince shall be on the one side and
on the other side of the holy offering and of the possession of the city, in
front of the holy offering and in front of the possession of the city, on the
west side westward, and on the east side eastward; and in length answerable
to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border. 8 In the
land it shall be to him for a possession in Israel: and my princes shall no
more oppress my people; but they shall give the land to the house of Israel
according to their tribes. 9 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Let it suffice
you, princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute justice and
righteousness; dispossessing my people, says the Lord Yahweh. 10 You
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 a homer, and the ephah the tenth part of a homer: the measure of it
shall be after the homer. 12 The shekel shall be twenty gerahs. Twenty
shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels shall be your mina.
13 This is the offering that you shall offer: the sixth part of an
ephah from a homer of wheat; and you shall give the sixth part of an
ephah from a homer of barley; 14 and the set portion of oil, of the bath
of oil, the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, which is ten baths,
even a homer; (for ten baths are a homer;) 15 and one lamb of the flock,
out of two hundred, from the well-watered pastures of Israel; -for a
meal-offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace-offerings, to make
atonement for them, says the Lord Yahweh. 16 All the people of the land
shall give to this offering for the prince in Israel. 17 It shall be the
prince's part to give the burnt offerings, and the meal-offerings, and the
drink-offerings, in the feasts, and on the new moons, and on the Sabbaths, in
all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the
sin-offering, and the meal-offering, and the burnt offering, and the
peace-offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel. 18 Thus says
the Lord Yahweh: In the first month, in the first day of the
month, you shall take a young bull without blemish; and you shall cleanse the
sanctuary. 19 The priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering, and
put it on the door-posts of the house, and on the four corners of the ledge
of the altar, and on the posts of the gate of the inner court. 20 So you
shall do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who errs, and
for him who is simple: so shall you make atonement for the house.
21 In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month,
you shall have the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread
shall be eaten. 22 On that day shall the prince prepare for himself and
for all the people of the land a bull for a sin-offering. 23 The seven
days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to Yahweh, seven bulls
and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a male goat daily
for a sin-offering. 24 He shall prepare a meal-offering, an ephah for a
bull, and an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil to an ephah. 25 In the
seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, in the feast, shall
he do the like the seven days; according to the sin-offering, according to
the burnt offering, and according to the meal-offering, and according to the
oil.
