1 M oreover, when you shall divide the land by apportioned and assigned lots for inheritance, you shall set apart as an offering to the Lord a portion of the land to be used for holy purposes. The length shall be 25, 000 cubits, and the breadth 20, 000. It shall be holy (set apart and consecrated to sacred use) in its every area.

And in your causing the land to fall in inheritance, ye lift up a heave-offering to Jehovah, a holy of the land: the length -- five and twenty thousand the length, and the breadth ten thousand; it holy in all its border round about.

2 O f this there shall belong to the sanctuary a square plot 500 by 500, and 50 cubits for the open space around it.

There is of this for the sanctuary five hundred by five hundred, square, round about; and fifty cubits of suburb to it round about.

3 A nd in this sacred section you shall measure off a portion 25, 000 cubits in length and 10, 000 cubits in breadth. And in it shall be the sanctuary which is most holy.

And by this measure thou dost measure: the length five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand: and in it is the sanctuary, the holy of holies.

4 I t 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; and it shall be a place for their houses and a holy place (set apart as sacred) for the sanctuary.

The holy of the land it; for priests, ministrants of the sanctuary, it is, who are drawing near to serve Jehovah; and it hath been to them a place for houses, and a holy place for a sanctuary.

5 A nd another portion of land, 25, 000 cubits long and 10, 000 cubits wide, shall also be for the Levites, the ministers of the temple, and they shall possess it as a place in which to live.

`And of the five and twenty thousand of length, and of the ten thousand of breadth, there is to the Levites, ministrants of the house, for them -- for a possession -- twenty chambers.

6 A nd you shall appoint for the possession of the city an area of 5, 000 cubits wide and 25, 000 cubits long, along beside the portion set aside as a holy section. It shall belong to the whole house of Israel.

`And of the possession of the city ye give five thousand of breadth, and of length five and twenty thousand, over-against the heave-offering of the holy: to all the house of Israel it is.

7 A nd to the prince shall belong the land on the one side and on the other side of the portion set aside as a holy section and the property of the city, in front of the holy section and the property of the city, from the west side westward and from the east side eastward; and the length shall be answerable to that of one of the tribal portions and parallel to it from the western boundary to the eastern boundary of the land.

As to the prince, on this side, and on that side, of the heave-offering of the holy place, and of the possession of the city, at the front of the heave-offering of the holy place, and at the front of the possession of the city, from the west corner westward, and from the east corner eastward -- and the length over-against one of the portions from the west border unto the east border --

8 I t shall be for the prince—his possession in Israel. And My princes shall no more oppress My people, but they shall give the rest of the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.

of the land there is to him for a possession in Israel, and My princes do not oppress any more My people, and the land they give to the house of Israel according to their tribes.

9 T hus says the Lord God: That is enough for you, O princes of Israel! Stop the violence and plundering and oppression, and do justice and righteousness, and take away your exactions and cease your evictions of My people, says the Lord God.

`Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Enough to you -- princes of Israel; violence and spoil turn aside, and judgment and righteousness do; lift up your exactions from off My people -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

10 Y ou shall have just weights on your scales and just measures—both a just ephah measure and a just bath measure.

Just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath -- ye have.

11 T he ephah and the bath measures shall both be the same size, the bath containing one tenth of a homer and the ephah one tenth of a homer; the standard measure shall be the homer.

The ephah and the bath is of one measure, for the bath to bear a tenth of the homer, and the ephah a tenth of the homer: according to the homer is its measurement.

12 A nd the shekel shall be twenty gerahs; twenty shekels and twenty-five shekels and fifteen shekels shall be your maneh.

And, the shekel twenty gerah: twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels -- is your maneh.

13 T his is the offering which you shall make: a sixth of an ephah from each homer of wheat and a sixth of an ephah from each homer of barley.

`This the heave-offering that ye lift up; a sixth part of the ephah of a homer of wheat, also ye have given a sixth part of the ephah of a homer of barley,

14 A nd as to the set portion of oil, you shall offer the tenth part of a bath of oil out of each cor, which is a homer of ten baths, for ten baths make a homer.

and the portion of oil, the bath of oil, a tenth part of the bath out of the cor, a homer of ten baths -- for ten baths a homer;

15 A nd one lamb out of every flock of two hundred, out of the well-watered pastures of Israel and from all the families of Israel, to provide for a meal offering and for a burnt offering and for peace offerings, to make atonement for those who brought them, says the Lord God.

and one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the watered country of Israel, for a present, and for a burnt-offering, and for peace-offerings, to make atonement by them -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

16 A ll the people of the land shall give this offering for the prince in Israel.

All the people of the land are at this heave-offering for the prince in Israel.

17 A nd it shall be the prince’s part to furnish the burnt offerings, meal offerings, and drink offerings at the feasts and on the New Moons and on the Sabbaths, at all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel. He shall prepare and make the sin offering, the meal offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offerings to make atonement for, bringing forgiveness and reconciliation to, the house of Israel.

And on the prince are the burnt-offerings, and the present, and the libation, in feasts, and in new moons, and in sabbaths, in all appointed times of the house of Israel: he doth make the sin-offering, and the present, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.

18 T hus says the Lord God: In the first, on the first of the month, you shall take a young bull without blemish and you shall cleanse the sanctuary.

`Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In the first, in the first of the month, thou dost take a bullock, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and hast cleansed the sanctuary:

19 A nd the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering and put it upon the doorposts of the temple and upon the four corners of the ledge of the altar and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.

and the priest hath taken of the blood of the sin offering, and hath put on the door-post of the house, and on the four corners of the border of the altar, and on the post of the gate of the inner court.

20 Y ou shall do this on the seventh day of the month for everyone who has sinned through error or ignorance and for him who is simple-minded. So shall you make atonement for the temple.

And so thou dost do on the seventh of the month, because of each erring one, and because of the simple one -- and ye have purified the house.

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

`In the first, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye have the passover, a feast of seven days, unleavened food is eaten.

22 U pon that day the prince shall prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering.

And the prince hath prepared on that day, for himself, and for all the people of the land, a bullock, a sin-offering.

23 A nd for the seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the Lord, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily for the seven days, and a he-goat daily for a sin offering.

And the seven days of the feast he prepareth a burnt-offering to Jehovah, seven bullocks, and seven rams, perfect ones, daily seven days, and a sin-offering, a kid of the goats, daily.

24 A nd he shall prepare as a meal offering to be offered with each bullock an ephah of meal, an ephah for each ram, and a hin of oil for each ephah of meal.

And a present of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, he doth prepare, and of oil a hin for an ephah.

25 I n the seventh, on the fifteenth day of the month, he shall make the same provision and preparation for the seven days of the feast, for sin offerings, burnt offerings, bloodless or meal offerings, and for the oil.

In the seventh, in the fifteenth day of the month, in the feast, he doth according to these things seven days; as the sin-offering so the burnt-offering, and as the present so also the oil.
