Ezekiel 45:6-22 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

6. “‘“You shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand wide, and twenty-five thousand long, side by side with the offering of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.

7. “‘“What is for the prince 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.

8. In the land it shall be to him for a possession in Israel. My princes shall no more oppress my people; but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.”

9. “‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Let it suffice you, princes of Israel: remove violence and plunder, and execute justice and righteousness; dispossessing my people,” says the Lord GOD.

10. “You shall have just balances, a just efah, and a just bath.

11. The efah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain one tenth of a homer, and the efah one tenth of a homer. Its measure shall be the same as the homer.

12. The shekel shall be twenty gerahs. Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels shall be your mina.

13. “‘“This is the offering that you shall offer: the sixth part of an efah from a homer of wheat; and you shall give the sixth part of an efah from a homer of barley;

14. and the set portion of oil, of the bath of oil, one tenth of a bath out of the cor, which is ten baths, even a homer; (for ten baths are a homer;)

15. 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 Lord GOD.

16. “All the people of the land shall give to this offering for the prince in Israel.

17. It shall be the prince’s part to give the burnt offerings, 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, the meal offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.”

18. “‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “In the first month, in the first day of the month, you shall take a young bull without defect; and you shall cleanse the sanctuary.

19. The priest 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.

20. So you shall do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who errs, and for him who is simple. So you shall make atonement for the house.

21. “‘“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.

22. On that day the prince shall prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering.
