[1] "When you allot the land as a possession, you shall set apart for the
LORD a portion of the land as a holy district, twenty-five thousand cubits
long and twenty thousand cubits broad; it shall be holy throughout its
whole extent. [2] Of this a square plot of five hundred by five hundred
cubits shall be for the sanctuary, with fifty cubits for an open space
around it. [3] And in the holy district you shall measure off a section
twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand broad, in which shall be
the sanctuary, the most holy place. [4] It shall be the holy portion of the
land; it shall be for the priests, who minister in the sanctuary and
approach the LORD to minister to him; and it shall be a place for their
houses and a holy place for the sanctuary. [5] Another section, twenty-five
thousand cubits long and ten thousand cubits broad, shall be for the
Levites who minister at the temple, as their possession for cities to live
in. [6] "Alongside the portion set apart as the holy district you shall
assign for the possession of the city an area five thousand cubits broad,
and twenty-five thousand cubits long; it shall belong to the whole house of
Israel. [7] "And to the prince shall belong the land on both sides of the
holy district and the property of the city, alongside the holy district and
the property of the city, on the west and on the east, corresponding in
length to one of the tribal portions, and extending from the western to the
eastern boundary of the land. [8] It is to be his property in Israel. And
my princes shall no more oppress my people; but they shall let the house of
Israel have the land according to their tribes. [9] "Thus says the Lord
GOD: Enough, O princes of Israel! Put away violence and oppression, and
execute justice and righteousness; cease your evictions of my people, says
the Lord GOD. [10] "You shall have just balances, a just ephah, and a just
bath. [11] The ephah and the bath shall be of the same measure, the bath
containing one tenth of a homer, and the ephah one tenth of a homer; the
homer shall be the standard measure. [12] The shekel shall be twenty
gerahs; five shekels shall be five shekels, and ten shekels shall be ten
shekels, and your mina shall be fifty shekels. [13] "This is the offering
which you shall make: one sixth of an ephah from each homer of wheat, and
one sixth of an ephah from each homer of barley, [14] and as the fixed
portion of oil, one tenth of a bath from each cor (the cor, like the homer,
contains ten baths); [15] and one sheep from every flock of two hundred,
from the families of Israel. This is the offering for cereal offerings,
burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to make atonement for them, says the
Lord GOD. [16] All the people of the land shall give this offering to the
prince in Israel. [17] It shall be the prince's duty to furnish the burnt
offerings, cereal offerings, and drink offerings, at the feasts, the new
moons, and the sabbaths, all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel:
he shall provide the sin offerings, cereal offerings, burnt offerings, and
peace offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel. [18] "Thus says
the Lord GOD: In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall
take a young bull without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary. [19] The
priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the
doorposts of the temple, the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and
the posts of the gate of the inner court. [20] You shall do the same on the
seventh day of the month for any one who has sinned through error or
ignorance; so you shall make atonement for the temple. [21] "In the first
month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall celebrate the feast of
the passover, and for seven days unleavened bread shall be eaten. [22] On
that day the prince shall provide for himself and all the people of the
land a young bull for a sin offering. [23] And on the seven days of the
festival he shall provide as a burnt offering to the LORD seven young bulls
and seven rams without blemish, on each of the seven days; and a he-goat
daily for a sin offering. [24] And he shall provide as a cereal offering an
ephah for each bull, an ephah for each ram, and a hin of oil to each ephah.
[25] In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month and for the
seven days of the feast, he shall make the same provision for sin
offerings, burnt offerings, and cereal offerings, and for the oil.
