December
2nd Ezekiel 46 The Prince and the festivals
1: Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate
of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working
days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it
shall be opened. 2: And the
prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall
stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering
and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate:
then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening. 3: Likewise the people of the land
shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in
the new moons. 4: And the burnt
offering that the prince shall offer unto the LORD in the sabbath day shall be
six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish. 5: And the meat offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and the
meat offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give, and an hin of oil to
an ephah. 6: And in the day of
the new moon it shall be a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a
ram: they shall be without blemish. 7:
And he shall prepare a meat offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for
a ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall attain unto, and an hin of
oil to an ephah. 8: And when
the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of that gate,
and he shall go forth by the way thereof. 9: But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in
the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship
shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of
the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return
by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth over against it. 10: And the prince in the midst of
them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth. 11: And in the feast and in the
solemnities the meat offering shall be an ephah to a bullock, and ephah to a
ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah. 12: Now when the prince shall prepare
a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto the LORD, one
shall then open him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare
his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then
he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate. 13: Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt
offering unto the LORD of a lamb of the first year without blemish: thou shalt
prepare it every morning. 14:
And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning, the sixth part of
an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a
meat offering continually by a perpetual ordinance unto the LORD. 15: Thus shall they prepare the lamb,
and the meat offering, and the oil, every morning for a continual burnt
offering. 16: Thus saith the
Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance
thereof shall be his sons'; it shall be their possession by inheritance. 17: But if he give a gift of his
inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of
liberty; after it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his
sons' for them. 18: Moreover
the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust
them out of their possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his
own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession. 19: After he brought me through the
entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the
priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place on the
two sides westward. 20: Then
said he unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass
offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake the meat offering; that
they bear them not out into the utter court, to sanctify the people. 21: Then he brought me forth into the
utter court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and,
behold, in every corner of the court there was a court. 22: In the four corners of the court there were courts joined of
forty cubits long and thirty broad: these four corners were of one measure. 23: And there was a row of building
round about in them, round about them four, and it was made with boiling places
under the rows round about. 24:
Then said he unto me, These are the places of them that boil, where the
ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
Ezekiel
47 Healing waters from the Temple
1: Afterward he brought me again unto
the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold
of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east,
and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the
south side of the altar. 2:
Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the
way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold,
there ran out waters on the right side. 3:
And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured
a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the
ankles. 4: Again he measured a
thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees.
Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the
loins. 5: Afterward he measured
a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were
risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over. 6: And he said unto me, Son of man,
hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink
of the river. 7: Now when I had
returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side
and on the other. 8: Then said
he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into
the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the
waters shall be healed. 9: And
it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth,
whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very
great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they
shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh. 10: And it shall come to pass, that
the fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; they shall be
a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as
the fish of the great sea, exceeding many. 11: But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall
not be healed; they shall be given to salt. 12: And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on
that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither
shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according
to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the
fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
The
boundaries of the land
13: Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall
be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes
of Israel:
Joseph shall have two portions. 14:
And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted
up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you
for inheritance. 15: And this
shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the
way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad; 16:
Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the
border of Hamath; Hazar-hatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran. 17: And the border from the sea shall
be Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus,
and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side. 18: And the east side ye shall
measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from
Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the
east sea. And this is the east side. 19:
And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in
Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward. 20: The west side also shall be the
great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the
west side. 21: So shall ye
divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel. 22: And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot
for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which
shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the
country among the children of Israel;
they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. 23: And it shall come to pass, that
in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance,
saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel 48
1: Now these are the names of the
tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to
Hamath, Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath;
for these are his sides east and west; a portion for Dan. 2: And by the border of Dan, from the
east side unto the west side, a portion for Asher. 3: And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the
west side, a portion for Naphtali. 4:
And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, a portion
for Manasseh. 5: And by the
border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for
Ephraim. 6: And by the border
of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Reuben. 7: And by the border of Reuben, from
the east side unto the west side, a portion for Judah. 8: And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west
side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand
reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side unto
the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it. 9: The oblation that ye shall offer
unto the LORD shall be of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten
thousand in breadth. 10: And
for them, even for the priests, shall be this holy oblation; toward the north
five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in
breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five
and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst
thereof. 11: It shall be for
the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my
charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites
went astray. 12: And this
oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by
the border of the Levites. 13:
And over against the border of the priests the Levites shall have five and
twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be
five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand. 14: And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor
alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the LORD. 15: And the five thousand, that are
left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a
profane place for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall
be in the midst thereof. 16:
And these shall be the measures thereof; the north side four thousand and five
hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east
side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five
hundred. 17: And the suburbs of
the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south
two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward
the west two hundred and fifty. 18:
And the residue in length over against the oblation of the holy portion shall
be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it shall be over
against the oblation of the holy portion; and the increase thereof shall be for
food unto them that serve the city. 19:
And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel. 20: All the oblation shall be five
and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy
oblation foursquare, with the possession of the city. 21: And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and
on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city, over
against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border,
and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward the west border,
over against the portions for the prince: and it shall be the holy oblation;
and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof. 22: Moreover from the possession of
the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that
which is the prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin,
shall be for the prince. 23: As
for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin
shall have a portion. 24: And
by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon shall
have a portion. 25: And by the
border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar a portion. 26: And by the border of Issachar,
from the east side unto the west side, Zebulun a portion. 27: And by the border of Zebulun,
from the east side unto the west side, Gad a portion. 28: And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the
border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of strife in Kadesh, and to the
river toward the great sea. 29:
This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for
inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the Lord GOD. 30: And these are the goings out of
the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures. 31: And the gates of the city shall
be after the names of the tribes of Israel:
three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate
of Levi. 32: And at the east
side four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph,
one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan. 33:
And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures: and three gates;
one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun. 34: At the west side four thousand
and five hundred, with their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher,
one gate of Naphtali. 35: It
was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that
day shall be, The LORD is there.
