Ezekiel 45:1-25

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 cubits45:1 That is, about 13 kilometres; also in verses 3, 5 and 6 long and 20,00045:1 Septuagint (see also verses 3 and 5 and 48:9); Hebrew 10,000 cubits45:1 That is, about 11 kilometres wide; the entire area will be holy. 2Of this, a section 500 cubits45:2 That is, about 265 metres square is to be for the sanctuary, with 50 cubits45:2 That is, about 27 metres around it for open land. 3In the sacred district, measure off a section 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits45:3 That is, about 5.3 kilometres; also in verse 5 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.45:5 Septuagint; Hebrew temple; they will have as their possession 20 rooms

6‘ “You are to give the city as its property an area 5,000 cubits45:6 That is, about 2.7 kilometres 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 ephah45:10 An ephah was a dry measure of capacity of about 22 litres. and an accurate bath.45:10 A bath was a liquid measure of capacity of about 22 litres. 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 shekel45:12 A shekel weighed about 12 grams. is to consist of twenty gerahs. Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels equal one mina.45:12 That is, 60 shekels; the common mina was 50 shekels. Sixty shekels were about 690 grams.

13‘ “This is the special gift you are to offer: a sixth of an ephah45:13 That is, probably about 2.7 kilograms from each homer of wheat and a sixth of an ephah45:13 That is, probably about 2.3 kilograms from each homer of barley. 14The prescribed portion of olive oil, measured by the bath, is a tenth of a bath45:14 That is, about 2.2 litres 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,45:17 Or purification offerings; also in verses 19, 22, 23 and 25 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 hin45:24 That is, about 3.8 litres 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.

以西結書 45:1-25

劃分聖地

1「『當你們抽籤把土地分給以色列各支派作產業的時候,要分出一塊獻給耶和華作聖地。聖地要長十二點五公里,寬十公里,整塊地都要聖潔。 2你們要在其中分出一塊長寬各二百五十米的地建聖殿。殿的周圍要有二十五米寬的空地。 3聖地當中要量一塊長十二點五公里、寬五公里的地,其中要有聖所,是最聖潔的地方。 4這塊聖地應歸那些在聖所中事奉耶和華的祭司,作為他們的居所和建聖所之用。 5另一塊十二點五公里長、五公里寬的土地給那些在聖殿工作的利未人居住,作他們的產業45·5 作他們的產業」或譯作「有二十間房作他們的產業」。

6「『在聖地旁邊要分出一塊十二點五公里長、二點五公里寬的地建城,以色列人都可以到那裡居住。

7「『在聖地和城的東西兩邊是給君王的土地,西到地中海,東到約旦河,從西到東長度與一個支派所得的土地一樣。 8這地方要作君王在以色列的產業。我的君王必不再欺壓我的子民,而是按支派把地分給他們。

9「『主耶和華說,你們這些以色列的君王啊,夠了!你們應當放棄暴行和搶掠,按公平和正義行事,不要再向我的子民橫徵暴斂了!這是主耶和華說的。 10你們要用公道的天平、伊法和罷特。 11賀梅珥45·11 一賀梅珥相當於一百公斤。是標準的容量單位,量固體的伊法45·11 一伊法相當於十公斤。是十分之一賀梅珥,量液體的罷特也是十分之一賀梅珥。 12舍客勒45·12 一舍客勒約合十一克。是標準的重量單位,一舍客勒是二十季拉。六十舍客勒等於一彌那。

13「『以下是你們應當獻的供物,每一賀梅珥小麥要獻上六分之一伊法,每一賀梅珥大麥也要獻上六分之一伊法。 14每一柯珥的油要獻十分之一罷特,一柯珥等於十罷特或一賀梅珥,因為一賀梅珥等於十罷特。 15以色列肥美的草場上,每二百隻羊便要獻上一隻。這些供物用來作素祭、燔祭和平安祭,為以色列人贖罪。這是主耶和華說的。 16所有的以色列人都要這樣拿供物來獻給君王。 17君王要在節期、朔日45·17 朔日」即每月初一。、安息日等以色列人一切的節期獻上燔祭、素祭和奠祭。他要預備贖罪祭、素祭、燔祭和平安祭的祭物,為以色列人贖罪。

18「『主耶和華說,一月初一,你要獻一隻毫無殘疾的公牛犢,潔淨聖所。 19祭司要取些贖罪祭牲的血抹在聖殿的門柱、祭台的四角和內院門口的柱子上。 20到了一月七日,要同樣為一切在無意和無知中犯罪的人贖罪,使聖殿保持潔淨。

21「『一月十四日,你們要守逾越節七天,節期間要吃無酵餅。 22在逾越節當天,君王要預備一頭公牛為自己和百姓作贖罪祭。 23在七天的節期間,他要每天預備毫無殘疾的公牛七頭、公綿羊七隻作燔祭,公山羊一隻作贖罪祭。 24他要預備細麵粉和油作素祭與牛羊一同獻上。每頭公牛或公綿羊要同獻十公斤細麵粉和四升油。 25在七月十五日開始一連七天的住棚節期間,君王也要供應同樣的贖罪祭、燔祭、素祭和油。』
