1“When you allot the land as an inheritance, you shall set apart for the Lord a portion of the land as a holy district, 25,000 cubits[1] long and 20,000[2] cubits broad. It shall be holy throughout its whole extent. (Eze 47:21; Eze 48:8; Eze 48:29)2Of this a square plot of 500 by 500 cubits shall be for the sanctuary, with fifty cubits for an open space around it. (Le 25:34; Eze 27:28; Eze 42:16; Eze 48:15; Eze 48:17)3And from this measured district you shall measure off a section 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 broad, in which shall be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place. (Eze 41:4; Eze 45:1; Eze 48:10)4It shall be the holy portion of the land. It shall be for the priests, who minister in the sanctuary and approach the Lord to minister to him, and it shall be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary. (Eze 48:11)5Another section, 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits broad, shall be for the Levites who minister at the temple, as their possession for cities to live in.[3] (Eze 48:13)6“Alongside the portion set apart as the holy district you shall assign for the property of the city an area 5,000 cubits broad and 25,000 cubits long. It shall belong to the whole house of Israel. (Eze 48:15; Eze 48:18)
The Portion for the Prince
7“And to the prince shall belong the land on both sides of the holy district and the property of the city, alongside the holy district and the property of the city, on the west and on the east, corresponding in length to one of the tribal portions, and extending from the western to the eastern boundary (Eze 44:3; Eze 48:21)8of the land. It is to be his property in Israel. And my princes shall no more oppress my people, but they shall let the house of Israel have the land according to their tribes. (Eze 22:27; Eze 46:18; Eze 47:13; Eze 47:21; Eze 48:1; Eze 48:23)9“Thus says the Lord God: Enough, O princes of Israel! Put away violence and oppression, and execute justice and righteousness. Cease your evictions of my people, declares the Lord God. (Eze 44:6; Eze 46:18)10“You shall have just balances, a just ephah, and a just bath.[4] (Le 19:35)11The ephah and the bath shall be of the same measure, the bath containing one tenth of a homer,[5] and the ephah one tenth of a homer; the homer shall be the standard measure. (De 25:14; Isa 5:10)12The shekel shall be twenty gerahs;[6] twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels shall be your mina.[7] (Ex 30:13)13“This is the offering that you shall make: one sixth of an ephah from each homer of wheat, and one sixth of an ephah from each homer of barley, (Eze 44:30)14and as the fixed portion of oil, measured in baths, one tenth of a bath from each cor[8] (the cor, like the homer, contains ten baths).[9] (Eze 45:11)15And one sheep from every flock of two hundred, from the watering places of Israel for grain offering, burnt offering, and peace offerings, to make atonement for them, declares the Lord God. (Le 1:4)16All the people of the land shall be obliged to give this offering to the prince in Israel.17It shall be the prince’s duty to furnish the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings, at the feasts, the new moons, and the Sabbaths, all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel: he shall provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to make atonement on behalf of the house of Israel. (2Ch 30:24; 2Ch 35:7; Eze 46:4)18“Thus says the Lord God: In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall take a bull from the herd without blemish, and purify the sanctuary. (Le 16:16; Eze 43:20; Eze 43:22; Eze 46:1; Eze 46:3; Eze 46:6)19The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the temple, the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and the posts of the gate of the inner court. (Ex 12:7; Eze 43:20)20You shall do the same on the seventh day of the month for anyone who has sinned through error or ignorance; so you shall make atonement for the temple.21“In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall celebrate the Feast of the Passover, and for seven days unleavened bread shall be eaten. (Le 23:5)22On that day the prince shall provide for himself and all the people of the land a young bull for a sin offering. (Eze 45:17)23And on the seven days of the festival he shall provide as a burnt offering to the Lord seven young bulls and seven rams without blemish, on each of the seven days; and a male goat daily for a sin offering. (Le 23:8; Nu 28:15)24And he shall provide as a grain offering an ephah for each bull, an ephah for each ram, and a hin[10] of oil to each ephah. (Le 2:1; Eze 46:5; Eze 46:7)25In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month and for the seven days of the feast, he shall make the same provision for sin offerings, burnt offerings, and grain offerings, and for the oil. (Le 23:34; Eze 45:22)

New International Version
Israel fully restored
1‘ “When you allot the land as an inheritance, you are to present to the Lord a portion of the land as a sacred district, 25,000 cubits[1] long and 20,000[2] cubits[3] wide; the entire area will be holy.2Of this, a section 500 cubits[4] square is to be for the sanctuary, with 50 cubits[5] around it for open land.3In the sacred district, measure off a section 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits[6] wide. In it will be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.4It will be the sacred portion of the land for the priests, who minister in the sanctuary and who draw near to minister before the Lord. It will be a place for their houses as well as a holy place for the sanctuary.5An area 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide will belong to the Levites, who serve in the temple, as their possession for towns to live in.[7]6‘ “You are to give the city as its property an area 5,000 cubits[8] wide and 25,000 cubits long, adjoining the sacred portion; it will belong to all Israel.7‘ “The prince will have the land bordering each side of the area formed by the sacred district and the property of the city. It will extend westward from the west side and eastward from the east side, running lengthwise from the western to the eastern border parallel to one of the tribal portions.8This land will be his possession in Israel. And my princes will no longer oppress my people but will allow the people of Israel to possess the land according to their tribes.9‘ “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: you have gone far enough, princes of Israel! Give up your violence and oppression and do what is just and right. Stop dispossessing my people, declares the Sovereign Lord.10You are to use accurate scales, an accurate ephah[9] and an accurate bath.[10]11The ephah and the bath are to be the same size, the bath containing a tenth of a homer and the ephah a tenth of a homer; the homer is to be the standard measure for both.12The shekel[11] is to consist of twenty gerahs. Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels equal one mina.[12]13‘ “This is the special gift you are to offer: a sixth of an ephah[13] from each homer of wheat and a sixth of an ephah[14] from each homer of barley.14The prescribed portion of olive oil, measured by the bath, is a tenth of a bath[15] from each cor (which consists of ten baths or one homer, for ten baths are equivalent to a homer).15Also one sheep is to be taken from every flock of two hundred from the well-watered pastures of Israel. These will be used for the grain offerings, burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to make atonement for the people, declares the Sovereign Lord.16All the people of the land will be required to give this special offering to the prince in Israel.17It will be the duty of the prince to provide the burnt offerings, grain offerings and drink offerings at the festivals, the New Moons and the Sabbaths – at all the appointed festivals of Israel. He will provide the sin offerings,[16] grain offerings, burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to make atonement for the Israelites.18‘ “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: in the first month on the first day you are to take a young bull without defect and purify the sanctuary.19The priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the temple, on the four corners of the upper ledge of the altar and on the gateposts of the inner court.20You are to do the same on the seventh day of the month for anyone who sins unintentionally or through ignorance; so you are to make atonement for the temple.21‘ “In the first month on the fourteenth day you are to observe the Passover, a festival lasting seven days, during which you shall eat bread made without yeast.22On that day the prince is to provide a bull as a sin offering for himself and for all the people of the land.23Every day during the seven days of the Festival he is to provide seven bulls and seven rams without defect as a burnt offering to the Lord, and a male goat for a sin offering.24He is to provide as a grain offering an ephah for each bull and an ephah for each ram, along with a hin[17] of olive oil for each ephah.25‘ “During the seven days of the Festival, which begins in the seventh month on the fifteenth day, he is to make the same provision for sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings and oil.

King James Version
1Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto the LORD, an holy portion of the land: the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand reeds , and the breadth shall be ten thousand. This shall be holy in all the borders thereof round about.2Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred in length , with five hundred in breadth , square round about; and fifty cubits round about for the suburbs thereof.3And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary and the most holy place .4The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests the ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister unto the LORD: and it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for the sanctuary.5And the five and twenty thousand of length, and the ten thousand of breadth, shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house, have for themselves, for a possession for twenty chambers.6And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand long, over against the oblation of the holy portion : it shall be for the whole house of Israel.7And a portion shall be for the prince on the one side and on the other side of the oblation of the holy portion , and of the possession of the city, before the oblation of the holy portion , and before the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward: and the length shall be over against one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border.8In the land shall be his possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more oppress my people; and the rest of the land shall they give to the house of Israel according to their tribes.9Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD.10Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.11The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah the tenth part of an homer: the measure thereof shall be after the homer.12And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs: twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh.13This is the oblation that ye shall offer; the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of barley:14Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, ye shall offer the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, which is an homer of ten baths; for ten baths are an homer:15And one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the fat pastures of Israel; for a meat offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make reconciliation for them, saith the Lord GOD.16All the people of the land shall give this oblation for the prince in Israel.17And it shall be the prince' part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel.18Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the first month , in the first day of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary:19And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.20And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile the house.21In the first month , in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.22And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering.23And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the LORD, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering.24And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and an hin of oil for an ephah.25In the seventh month , in the fifteenth day of the month, shall he do the like in the feast of the seven days, according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the meat offering, and according to the oil.
Ezekiel 45
New International Reader’s Version
The Lord establishes Israel again
1‘People of Israel, you will divide up the land you will receive. When you do, give me my share of it. It will be a sacred area. It will be 10 miles long and 7.5 miles wide. The entire area will be holy.2The temple area in it will be 300 metres long and 300 metres wide. A 30-metre strip round it will be open land.3In the sacred area, measure off a large strip of land. It will be 10 miles long and 4 miles wide. The temple will be in it. It will be the most holy place of all.4The large strip will be the sacred share of land for the priests. There they will serve in the temple. And they will approach me to serve me there. Their houses will be built on that land. The holy temple will also be located there.5So the Levites will serve in the temple. They will have an area 10 miles long and 4 miles wide. The towns they live in will be located there.6‘Give the city an area 2 miles wide and 10 miles long. It will be right next to the sacred area. It will belong to all the people of Israel.7‘The prince will have land on both sides of the sacred area and the city. Its border will run east and west along the land of one of the tribes.8The prince will own this land in Israel. And my princes will not crush my people anymore. Instead, they will allow the people of Israel to receive their own share of land. It will be divided up based on their tribes.’9The LORD and King says, ‘Princes of Israel, you have gone far enough! Stop hurting others. Do not crush them. Do what is fair and right. Stop taking my people’s land away from them,’ announces the LORD and King.10‘Use weights and measures that are honest and exact.11Use the same standard to measure dry and liquid products. Use a 15-kilogram measure for dry products. And use a 24-litre measure for liquids.12Every amount of money must be weighed out in keeping with the standard weights.13‘You must offer a special gift. It must be 2.5 kilograms out of every 120 kilograms of corn.14Give 2.4 litres out of every 240 litres of olive oil.15Also give one sheep from every flock of 200 sheep. Get them from the grasslands of Israel that receive plenty of water. Use them for grain offerings, burnt offerings and friendship offerings. They will be used to pay for the sin of the people,’ announces the LORD and King.16‘All the people in the land will be required to give this special gift. They must give it to the prince in Israel.17He must provide the burnt offerings, grain offerings and drink offerings. They will be for the yearly feasts, New Moon feasts and Sabbath days. So they will be for all the appointed feasts of the people of Israel. The prince will provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings and friendship offerings. They will be used to pay for the sin of the Israelites.’18The LORD and King says, ‘Get a young bull. It must not have any flaws. Use it to make the temple pure and “clean”. Do this on the first day of the first month.19The priest must get some of the blood from the sin offering. He must put some on the doorposts of the temple. He must apply some to the four corners of the upper ledge of the altar. He must put the rest on the gateposts of the inner courtyard.20Do the same thing on the seventh day of the month. Do this for those who sin without meaning to. And do this for those who sin without realising what they are doing. So you will make the temple pure and “clean”.21‘Keep the Passover Feast on the 14th day of the first month. It will last for seven days. During that time you must eat bread made without yeast.22The prince must provide a bull as a sin offering. It will be for him and all the people of the land.23For each of the seven days of the feast he must provide seven bulls and seven rams. They must not have any flaws. They will be a burnt offering to me. The prince must also provide a male goat for a sin offering.24He must bring 15 kilograms for each bull or ram. He must also provide 4 litres of olive oil for each of them.25‘The seven days of the feast begin on the 15th day of the seventh month. During those days the prince must provide the same sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings and olive oil.’
