1Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance , ye shall offer an oblation unto Jehovah , a holy portion of the land ; the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand reeds , and the breadth shall be ten thousand: it shall be holy in all the border thereof round about . 2Of 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 thereof round about . 3And of this measure shalt thou measure a length of five and twenty thousand, and a breadth of ten thousand: and 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 , that come near to minister unto Jehovah ; and it shall be a place for their houses , and a holy place for the sanctuary . 5And five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth , shall be unto the Levites , the ministers of the house , for a possession unto themselves , for twenty chambers .
The Holy Portion
6And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad , and five and twenty thousand long , side by side with the oblation of the holy portion : it shall be for the whole house of Israel . 7And whatsoever is for the prince shall be on the one side and on the other side of the holy oblation and of the possession of the city , in front of the holy oblation and in front of the possession of the city , on the west side westward , and on the east side eastward ; and in length answerable unto one of the portions , from the west border unto the east border . 8In 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 . 9Thus saith the Lord Jehovah : Let it suffice you , O princes of Israel : remove violence and spoil , and execute justice and righteousness ; take away your exactions from my people , saith the Lord Jehovah . 10Ye shall have just balances , and a just ephah, and a just bath . 11The 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 thereof shall be after the homer . 12And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs ; twenty shekels , five and twenty shekels , fifteen shekels , shall be your maneh .
The Prince's Role
13This is the oblation that ye shall offer : the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of wheat ; and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of barley ; 14and 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 ); 15and 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 , saith the Lord Jehovah . 16All the people of the land shall give unto this oblation for the prince in Israel . 17And 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 . 18Thus saith the Lord Jehovah : In the first month , in the first day of the month , thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish ; and thou shalt cleanse the sanctuary . 19And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering, and put it upon the door-posts of the house , and upon the four corners of the ledge of the altar , and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court . 20And so thou shalt do on the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth , and for him that is simple : so shall ye make atonement for the house . 21In the first month , in the fourteenth day of the month , ye shall have the passover , a feast of seven days ; unleavened bread shall be eaten. 22And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin-offering. 23And the seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt-offering to Jehovah , seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days ; and a he-goat daily for a sin-offering. 24And he shall prepare a meal-offering, an ephah for a bullock , and an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil to an ephah. 25In 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 .
