Ezekiel 45:11-20 God's Word Translation (GW)

11. The dry and liquid measures must always be the same: The ephah and the bath should hold the same as one-tenth of a homer. The homer must be the standard measure.

12. One shekel must weigh 20 gerahs. One mina must weigh 60 shekels.

13. “‘This is the contribution you must give to the Lord: seventeen percent of your wheat and seventeen percent of your barley.

14. You must give one percent of your olive oil using the standard measure.

15. You must take one sheep out of every 200 from the well-watered pastures of Israel. You must sacrifice them with grain offerings, burnt offerings, and fellowship offerings to make peace with the Lord, declares the Almighty Lord.

16. All the common people must give this contribution to the prince in Israel.

17. Then the prince is responsible to provide burnt offerings, grain offerings, and wine offerings at the annual festivals, the New Moon Festivals, the weekly days of worship, and all the other appointed festivals of the nation of Israel. He must prepare offerings for sin, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and fellowship offerings to make peace with the Lord for the nation of Israel.

18. “‘This is what the Almighty Lord says: On the first day of the first month, take a young bull that has no defects and remove sin from the holy place.

19. The priest must take some blood from the offering for sin and put it on the doorposts of the temple, on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the doorposts of the gateways of the inner courtyard.

20. You must do the same on the seventh day of the month for everyone who unintentionally does something wrong and is unaware of it. So you must make peace with the Lord for the temple.
