¹“‘“Moreover, when you divide by lot the land for inheritance , you shall offer an offering to the LORD , a holy portion of the land . The length shall be the length of twenty-five thousand reeds, and the width shall be ten thousand. It shall be holy in all its border all around .

²Of this there shall be a five hundred by five hundred square for the holy place , and fifty cubits for its pasture lands all around .[#45:2 A cubit is the length from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow on a man’s arm, or about 18 inches or 46 centimeters.]

³Of this measure you shall measure a length of twenty-five thousand, and a width of ten thousand. In it shall be the sanctuary , which is most holy .

⁴It is a holy portion of the land ; it shall be for the priests , the ministers of the sanctuary , who come near to minister to the LORD . It shall be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary .

⁵Twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width shall be for the Levites , the ministers of the house , as a possession for themselves , for twenty rooms .

⁶“‘“You shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand cubits wide 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“‘“What is for the prince shall be on the one side and on the other side of the holy allotment and of the possession of the city , in front of the holy allotment and in front of the possession of the city , on the west side westward , and on the east side eastward , and in length corresponding to one of the portions , from the west border to the east border .

⁸In the land it shall be to him for a possession in Israel . My princes shall no more oppress my people , but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes .”

⁹“‘The Lord GOD says : “Enough , you princes of Israel ! Remove violence and plunder, and execute justice and righteousness ! Stop dispossessing my people !” says the Lord GOD .

¹⁰“You shall have just balances , a just efah, and a just bath .[#45:10 1 efah is about 22 liters or about 2/3 of a bushel]

¹¹The efah and the bath shall be of one measure , that the bath may contain one tenth of a homer , and the efah one tenth of a homer . Its measure shall be the same as the homer .[#45:11 1 homer is about 220 liters or 6 bushels]

¹²The shekel shall be twenty gerahs . Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels shall be your mina.[#45:12 A shekel is about 10 grams or about 0.35 ounces.; #45:12 a gerah is about 0.5 grams or about 7.7 grains; #45:12 A mina is about 600 grams or 1.3 U. S. pounds.]

¹³“‘“This is the offering that you shall offer : the sixth part of an efah from a homer of wheat , and you shall give the sixth part of an efah from a homer of barley ,

¹⁴and the set portion of oil , of the bath of oil , one tenth of a bath out of the cor , which is ten baths , even a homer (for ten baths are a homer ),[#45:14 1 cor is the same as 1 homer in volume, and is about 211 liters, 55.9 gallons, or 6 bushels. 1 bath is about 21.1 liters, 5.59 gallons, or 2.4 pecks.]

¹⁵and one lamb of the flock out of two hundred , from the well-watered pastures of Israel —for a meal offering , for a burnt offering , and for peace offerings , to make atonement for them ,” says the Lord GOD .

¹⁶“All the people of the land shall give to this offering for the prince in Israel .

¹⁷It shall be the prince ’s part to give the burnt offerings , 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 , the meal offering , the burnt offering , and the peace offerings , to make atonement for the house of Israel .”

¹⁸“‘The Lord GOD says : “In the first month , on the first day of the month , you shall take a young bull without defect , and you shall cleanse the sanctuary .

¹⁹The 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 .

²⁰So you shall do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who errs, and for him who is simple . So you shall make atonement for the house .

²¹“‘“In the first month , on the fourteenth day of the month , you shall have the Passover , a feast of seven days ; unleavened bread shall be eaten.

²²On that day the prince shall prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering .

²³The seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the LORD , seven bulls and seven rams without defect daily the seven days ; and a male goat daily for a sin offering .

²⁴He shall prepare a meal offering , an efah for a bull , an efah for a ram, and a hin of oil to an efah.[#45:24 1 efah is about 22 liters or about 2/3 of a bushel; #45:24 A hin is about 6.5 liters or 1.7 gallons.]

²⁵“‘“In the seventh month , on the fifteenth day of the month , during the feast , he shall do like that for seven days . He shall make the same provision for sin offering , the burnt offering , the meal offering , and the oil .”
