4 Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the
glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face.
5 And the LORD said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with
thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all
the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the
sanctuary.
6 And thou shalt say to the rebellious, evento the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O ye
house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,
7 In that ye have brought into my sanctuarystrangers, uncircumcised in heart, and
uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, evenmy house, when ye offer my
bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.
8 And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in
my sanctuary for yourselves.
9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh,
shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that isamong the children of Israel.
10 And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went
astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.
11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, havingcharge at the gates of the house, and
ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and
they shall stand before them to minister unto them.
12 Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall
into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they
shall bear their iniquity.
13 And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near
to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their
abominations which they have committed.
14 But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for
all that shall be done therein.
15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when
the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and
they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:
16 They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto
me, and they shall keep my charge.
17 And it shall come to pass, thatwhen they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall
be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the
gates of the inner court, and within.
18 They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their
loins; they shall not gird themselveswith any thing that causeth sweat.
19 And when they go forth into the utter court, eveninto the utter court to the people, they
shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and
they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.
20 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll
their heads.
21 Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.
22 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall
take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.
23 And they shall teach my people the differencebetween the holy and profane, and cause them
to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; andthey shall judge it according to my

judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall
hallow my sabbaths.
25 And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or
for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile
themselves.
26 And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days.
27 And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the
sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith the Lord GOD.
28 And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I amtheir inheritance: and ye shall give them
no possession in Israel: I amtheir possession.
29 They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every
dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.
30 And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sortof
your oblations, shall be the priest's: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough,
that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.
31 The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or
beast.
1 Moreover, 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 bethe length of five and twenty thousand
reeds, and the breadth shall beten thousand. This shall beholy in all the borders thereof round
about.
2 Of 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.
3 And 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 andthe most holy place.
4 The holy portionof 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.
5 And 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.
6 And 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.
7 And a portion shall befor 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 beover against one of the portions, from the west border unto
the east border.
8 In the land shall be his possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more oppress my people;
and the rest ofthe land shall they give to the house of Israel according to their tribes.
9 Thus 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.
10 Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.
11 The 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.
12 And the shekel shall betwenty gerahs: twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen
shekels, shall be your maneh.
13 This isthe 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:
14 Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, ye shall offerthe tenth part of a bath out of
the cor, which isan homer of ten baths; for ten baths arean homer:
15 And 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.
16 All the people of the land shall give this oblation for the prince in Israel.
17 And it shall be the prince's part to giveburnt 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.
18 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the first month, in the first dayof the month, thou shalt take a
young bullock without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary:
19 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put itupon 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.
20 And so thou shalt do the seventh dayof the month for every one that erreth, and for him that
issimple: so shall ye reconcile the house.
21 In 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.
22 And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a
bullock fora sin offering.
23 And 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 fora sin offering.
24 And 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.
25 In 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.
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 thatgate 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 bean 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 bea 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 thatgate, 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
