1 "When you divide the land by lot as an inheritance, you are to set aside a contribution for the LORD, a holy portion of the land, twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand wide; its whole territory all around will be holy.
2 Out of this, a square five hundred by five hundred will be for the sanctuary, with fifty cubits of open land surrounding it.
3 From this measured area measure off a strip twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand wide; in it will stand the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.
4 It will be the holy portion of the land, belonging to the priests who serve in the sanctuary and draw near to serve the LORD; it will be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary.
5 A further area twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand wide will belong to the Levites who serve the house, as their possession, for twenty chambers.
6 "Next to the holy contribution you are to assign the city as its possession an area five thousand wide and twenty-five thousand long; it will belong to the whole house of Israel.
7 "The prince is to have land on either side of the holy contribution and the possession of the city, bordering the holy contribution and the possession of the city, westward on the west side and eastward on the east side, matching in length one of the tribal portions from the western border to the eastern border.
8 This land will be his possession in Israel. My princes will no longer oppress my people; they will give the land to the house of Israel by their tribes.
9 "Thus says the Lord GOD: Enough, princes of Israel! Get rid of violence and plunder, and practice justice and righteousness; stop driving my people off their land, declares the Lord GOD.
10 You are to have honest scales, an honest ephah and an honest bath.
11 The ephah and the bath are to be of one standard, the bath holding a tenth of a homer and the ephah a tenth of a homer; the homer is to be the standard for both.
12 The shekel is to be twenty gerahs; twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels will make your mina.
13 "This is the contribution you are to present: a sixth of an ephah from every homer of wheat and a sixth of an ephah from every homer of barley;
14 and the set portion of oil, measured by the bath, is a tenth of a bath from every cor (ten baths make a homer, or a cor, for ten baths are a homer);
15 and one sheep out of every flock of two hundred from the well-watered lands of Israel, for grain offering, burnt offering and peace offerings, to make atonement for them, declares the Lord GOD.
16 All the people of the land are bound to this contribution for the prince in Israel.
17 The prince will be responsible for the burnt offerings, the grain offering and the drink offering at the feasts, the new moons and the Sabbaths, at all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel; he is to provide the sin offering, the grain 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, on the first of the month, take a young bull without blemish and cleanse the sanctuary from sin.
19 The priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the house, on the four corners of the altar's ledge and on the doorposts of the gate of the inner court.
20 Do the same on the seventh of the month for anyone who sins by mistake or through ignorance; so you will make atonement for the house.
21 "In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, you are to keep the Passover, a feast lasting seven days, during which unleavened bread is eaten.
22 On that day the prince is to provide a young bull as a sin offering for himself and for all the people of the land.
23 On each of the seven days of the feast he is to provide seven young bulls and seven rams without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD, and a male goat each day as a sin offering.
24 As a grain offering he is to provide an ephah for each bull and an ephah for each ram, with a hin of oil for each ephah.
25 In the seventh month, on the fifteenth of the month, at the feast, he is to provide the same for seven days: the same sin offering, burnt offering, grain offering and oil.
