Ezekiel Chapter 45
So when you're dividing the land for the fam, be sure to give a sacred section to the Lord, like, 25k reeds long and 10k wide. It's all about those solid vibes.
Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto the LORD, an holy portion of the land: the length {shall be} the length of five and twenty thousand {reeds}, and the breadth {shall be} ten thousand. This {shall be} holy in all the borders thereof round about. {when...: Heb. when ye cause the land to fall} {an holy...: Heb. holiness}
For the sanctuary, it’s gotta be 500 by 500, all square and whatnot, plus 50 cubits for the chill area around it.
Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred {in length}, with five hundred {in breadth}, square round about; and fifty cubits round about for the suburbs thereof. {suburbs: or, void places}
Check that 25k length and 10k width, and that’s where the sanctuary and the super holy spot will be. No cap.
And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary {and} the most holy {place}.
The holy ground is for the priests who vibe with the sanctuary, a place for their pad and a sacred spot for the Lord.
The holy {portion} of the land shall be for the priests the ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister unto the LORD: and it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for the sanctuary.
The Levites, who manage the house, get that same 25k length and 10k width for their own 20 chambers. That’s fire.
And the five and twenty thousand of length, and the ten thousand of breadth, shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house, have for themselves, for a possession for twenty chambers.
You’ll set aside 5k wide and 25k long for the city, right next to that holy area, for all of Israel’s crew.
And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand long, over against the oblation of the holy {portion}: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.
The prince gets a piece on both sides of the holy land and city property, stretching from west to east, matching the length of one of the sections. Periodt.
And a {portion shall be} for the prince on the one side and on the other side of the oblation of the holy {portion}, and of the possession of the city, before the oblation of the holy {portion}, and before the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward: and the length {shall be} over against one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border.
This land belongs to the prince in Israel; they won’t mess with my people anymore, and the rest goes to Israel’s tribes. Savage.
In the land shall be his possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more oppress my people; and {the rest of} the land shall they give to the house of Israel according to their tribes.
The Lord God says, 'Yo, princes of Israel, chill with the violence and greed. Keep it just and fair, and stop taxing my people.'
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD. {exactions: Heb. expulsions}
Ensure your scales are on point, and keep the ephah and bath accurate.
Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.
The ephah and bath gotta line up, like, the bath holds a tenth of an homer, and the ephah does too. Keep it consistent.
The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah the tenth part of an homer: the measure thereof shall be after the homer.
A shekel is 20 gerahs; your maneh will be 20 shekels, 25 shekels, and 15 shekels. Simple math, fam.
And the shekel {shall be} twenty gerahs: twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh.
This is the offering you gotta bring: a sixth of an ephah of wheat and a sixth of an ephah of barley. No cap.
This {is} the oblation that ye shall offer; the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of barley:
For the oil, you’ll offer a tenth of a bath from the cor, which is 10 baths; ten baths equal an homer. That’s the deal.
Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, {ye shall offer} the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, {which is} an homer of ten baths; for ten baths {are} an homer:
One lamb from 200, from Israel’s fat pastures, for a meat offering, burnt offering, and peace offerings to make things right. Lit.
And one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the fat pastures of Israel; for a meat offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make reconciliation for them, saith the Lord GOD. {lamb: or, kid} {peace...: or, thank offerings}
Everyone in the land gotta give this offering for the prince in Israel.
All the people of the land shall give this oblation for the prince in Israel. {shall...: Heb. shall be for} {for: or, with}
The prince’s gig is to bring burnt offerings, meat offerings, and drink offerings during the feasts and sabbaths, keeping it all together for Israel.
And it shall be the prince's part {to give} burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel. {peace...: or, thank offerings}
The Lord God says, 'On the first day of the first month, grab a perfect young bull and clean up the sanctuary.'
Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the first {month}, in the first {day} of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary:
The priest will take the blood from the sin offering and put it on the house posts, the altar corners, and the inner court gate.
And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put {it} upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.
On the seventh day of the month, do the same for anyone who messes up or is just simple; that’s how you reconcile the house.
And so thou shalt do the seventh {day} of the month for every one that erreth, and for {him that is} simple: so shall ye reconcile the house.
On the fourteenth day of the first month, have the Passover, a seven-day feast; no yeast bread allowed, fam.
In 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.
On that day, the prince prepares a bull for a sin offering for himself and all the people.
And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock {for} a sin offering.
For seven days of the feast, he’ll bring a burnt offering to the Lord, seven bulls and seven rams, all perfect, plus a goat daily for a sin offering.
And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the LORD, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily {for} a sin offering.
He’ll prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bull and an ephah for a ram, plus an hin of oil for the ephah.
And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and an hin of oil for an ephah.
In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day, he’ll do the same for the seven-day feast, matching the sin, burnt, meat, and oil offerings.
In the seventh {month}, in the fifteenth day of the month, shall he do the like in the feast of the seven days, according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the meat offering, and according to the oil.
