Ezekiel 45:9-25

Ezekiel 45:9-25 CSB

“This is what the Lord God says: You have gone too far,  , princes of Israel! Put away violence and oppression and do what is just and right.  Put an end to your evictions of my people.” This is the declaration of the Lord God. “You are to have honest scales, an honest dry measure,  and an honest liquid measure.  , The dry measure  and the liquid measure  will be uniform, with the liquid measure containing 5 1/2 gallons  and the dry measure holding half a bushel.  Their measurement will be a tenth of the standard larger capacity measure.  The shekel  will weigh twenty gerahs.  Your mina will equal sixty shekels. “This is the contribution you are to offer: Three quarts  from six bushels  of wheat and  three quarts from six bushels of barley. The quota of oil in liquid measures  will be one percent of every  cor. The cor equals ten liquid measures or one standard larger capacity measure,  since ten liquid measures equal one standard larger capacity measure. And the quota from the flock is one animal out of every two hundred from the well-watered pastures of Israel. These are for the grain offerings, burnt offerings, and fellowship offerings, to make atonement for the people.”  This is the declaration of the Lord God. “All the people of the land must take part in this contribution for the prince in Israel. Then the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings for the festivals, New Moons, and Sabbaths — for all the appointed times of the house of Israel — will be the prince’s responsibility. He will provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and fellowship offerings to make atonement on behalf of the house of Israel. “This is what the Lord God says: In the first month, on the first day of the month, you are to take a young, unblemished bull and purify the sanctuary. The priest is to take some of the blood from the sin offering and apply it to the temple doorposts, the four corners of the altar’s ledge, and the doorposts of the gate of the inner court.  You are to do the same thing on the seventh day of the month for everyone who sins unintentionally or through ignorance.  In this way you will make atonement for the temple. “In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you are to celebrate the Passover, a festival of seven days during which unleavened bread will be eaten.  On that day the prince will provide a bull as a sin offering on behalf of himself and all the people of the land. During the seven days of the festival, he will provide seven bulls and seven rams without blemish as a burnt offering to the Lord on each of the seven days, along with a male goat each day for a sin offering. He will also provide a grain offering of half a bushel  per bull and half a bushel per ram, along with a gallon  of oil for every half bushel. At the festival that begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month,  ,he will provide the same things for seven days — the same sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, and oil.
