¹ And when you shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance, you shall offer a heave offering to Jehovah, a holy portion of the land. The length shall be twenty five thousand cubits long and the width ten thousand. It² Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred by five hundred cubits , square all around, and fifty cubits of open space shall be all around.³ And from this measure you shall measure the length, twenty five thousand cubits , and the width, ten thousand. And in it shall be the sanctuary, the holiest of the holy.⁴ It is the holy portion of the land for the priests, it shall be for the ministers of the sanctuary who come near to minister to Jehovah. And it shall be for them a place for their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary.⁵ And twenty five thousand cubits in length, and ten thousand in width shall be for the Levites, the ministers of the house, for them for a possession, twenty rooms.⁶ And you shall give the possession of the city, five thousand cubits wide and twenty five thousand long, beside the heave offering of the holy lot . It shall be for the whole house of Israel.⁷ And a portion shall be for the prince from here, and from there, for the heave offering of the holy place and of the possession of the city, to the face of the heave offeringof the holy place, from the west side westward,and from the east side eastward. And the length shall be alongside one of the portions, from the west border to the east border.⁸ It shall be for a land to him, for a possession in Israel, and My rulers shall not oppress My people any more. And they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.

⁹ So says the Lord Jehovah: Enough for you, O rulers of Israel! Turn away violence and oppression, and do justice and righteousness. Lift away your acts of violence from My people, declares the Lord Jehovah.¹⁰ Just balances and a just ephah, and a just bath, let there be to you.¹¹ The ephah and the bath shall be one measure, that the bath may contain the tenth of the homer, and the tenth of the homer the ephah. Its measure shall be to the homer.¹² And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs: Twenty shekels, twenty five shekels, fifteen shekels shall be a maneh to you.

¹³ This is the heave offering that you shall offer: the sixth of an ephah of a homer of wheat, and the sixth of an ephah of a homer of barley.¹⁴ And the statute of oil, the bath of oil, the tenth of the bath out of the cor; (ten baths, a homer, for ten baths are a homer);¹⁵ and one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the watered land of Israel for a food offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to atone for them, declares the Lord Jehovah.¹⁶ All the people of the land shall be at this heave offering for the prince in Israel.¹⁷ And responsibility for burnt offerings shall be on the prince, and a food offering, and 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 make the sin offering, and the foodoffering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to atone for the house of Israel.¹⁸ So says the Lord Jehovah: In the first month, on the first of the month, you shall take a bull without blemish, a son of the herd, and cleanse the sanctuary.¹⁹ And 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 gateposts of the inner court.²⁰ And so you shall do on the seventh of the month for each man who goes astray, and for the simple. And you shall atone for the house.²¹ In the first month , in the fourteenth day of the month, the Passover shall be to you, a feast of seven days, unleavened bread is eaten.²² And the prince shall make ready on that day for himself and for the people of the land, a bull for a sin offering.²³ And seven days of the feast he shall make ready a burnt offering to Jehovah, seven bulls and seven rams, without blemish, daily for the seven days, and for a sin offering a kid of the he-goats daily.²⁴ And a food offering of an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, he shall make ready ; also of oil, a hin for an ephah.²⁵ In the seventh month , in the fifteenth day of the month, at the feast, he shall make ready like these seven days as the sin offering, as the burnt offering, as the food offering, and as the oil.
