The LORD'S Portion of the Land

1

"And when you  adivide by lot the land for inheritance, you shall offer  1an  ballotment to the LORD, a  choly portion of the land; the length shall be the length of 25,000  dcubits, and the width shall be  220,000. It shall be holy within all its boundary round about.

2

"Out of this there shall be for the holy place a square round about  afive hundred by five hundred cubits, and fifty cubits for its  1 bopen space round about.

3

"From this  1area you shall measure a length of 25,000 cubits and a width of 10,000 cubits; and in it shall be the sanctuary, the most holy place.

4

"It shall be the holy portion of the land; it shall be for the  apriests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who  bcome near to minister to the LORD, and it shall be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary.

5

"An area  a25,000 cubits in length and 10,000 in width shall be for the Levites, the ministers of the house, and for their possession  1cities to dwell in.

6

"You shall give the  acity possession of an area 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long, alongside the  1allotment of the holy portion; it shall be for the whole house of Israel.

Portion for the Prince

7

"The  aprince shall have land on either side of the holy  1allotment and the  2property of the city, adjacent to the holy  1allotment and the  2property of the city, on the west side toward the west and on the east side toward the east, and in length comparable to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border.

8

"This shall be his land for a possession in Israel; so My princes shall no longer  aoppress My people, but they shall give the rest of the land to the house of Israel  baccording to their tribes."

9

`Thus says the Lord  1GOD, " aEnough, you princes of Israel; put away  bviolence and destruction, and  cpractice justice and righteousness. Stop your  dexpropriations from My people," declares the Lord GOD.

10

"You shall have  ajust balances, a just  bephah and a just  bbath.

11

"The ephah and the bath shall be  1the same quantity, so that the bath will contain a tenth of a  ahomer and the ephah a tenth of a homer;  2their standard shall be according to the homer.

12

"The  ashekel shall be twenty  agerahs; twenty shekels, twenty-five shekels, and fifteen shekels shall be your  1maneh.

13

"This is the offering that you shall offer: a sixth of an ephah from a homer of wheat; a sixth of an ephah from a homer of barley;

14

and the prescribed portion of oil (namely, the bath of oil), a tenth of a bath from each kor (which is ten baths or a homer, for ten baths are a homer);

15

and one sheep from each flock of two hundred from the watering places of Israel--for a  agrain offering, for a burnt offering and for peace offerings, to  bmake atonement for them," declares the Lord GOD.

16

aAll the people of the land shall  1give to this offering for the  bprince in Israel.

17

"It shall be the  aprince's part to provide the  bburnt offerings, the grain offerings and the drink offerings, at the  cfeasts, on the  dnew moons and on the sabbaths, at all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel; he shall provide the sin offering, the grain offering, the burnt offering and the  epeace offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel."

18

`Thus says the Lord GOD, "In the  afirst month, on the first of the month, you shall take a young bull  bwithout blemish and  ccleanse the sanctuary.

19

"The priest shall take some of the blood from the sin offering and put it on the door posts of the house, on the  afour corners of the  bledge of the altar and on the posts of the gate of the inner court.

20

"Thus you shall do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who goes  aastray or is  1naive; so you shall make  batonement for the house.

21

"In the  afirst month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall have the  bPassover, a feast of 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  abull for a sin offering.

23

"During the  aseven days of the feast he shall provide as a  bburnt offering to the LORD  cseven bulls and seven rams without blemish on every day of the seven days, and a male goat daily for a sin offering.

24

"He shall provide as a  agrain offering an ephah  1with a bull, an ephah  1with a ram and a hin of oil  1with an ephah.

25

"In the  aseventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, at the feast, he shall provide like this, seven days  1for the sin offering, the burnt offering, the grain offering and the oil."
