Chapter 45
001
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.
002
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.
003
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.
004
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.
005
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.
006
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.
007
Whatever is] for the princess [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.
008
In the land it shall be to her for a possession in Israel: and my princesses shall no more oppress my people; but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.
009
Thus says the Domina Yahweh: Let it suffice you, princesses of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute justice and righteousness; dispossessing my people, says the Domina Yahweh.
010
You shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.
011
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.
012
The shekel shall be twenty gerahs. Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels shall be your mina.
013
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;
014
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;)
015
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 Domina Yahweh.
016
All the people of the land shall give to this offering for the princess in Israel.
017
It shall be the princess'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: she 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.
018
Thus says the Domina 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.
019
The priestess 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.
020
So you shall do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who errs, and for her who is simple: so shall you make atonement for the house.
021
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.
022
On that day shall the princess prepare for herself and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering.
023
The seven days of the feast she shall prepare a burnt offering to Yahweh, seven bulls and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a female goat daily for a sin offering.
024
She shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
025
In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, in the feast, shall she 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.
