Ezekiel
45
Ezekiel 45:1 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 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.
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 and the most
holy place.
4 The 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.
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 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.
8 In 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.
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 be twenty gerahs: twenty shekels, five and twenty
shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh.
13 This 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:
14 Concerning 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:
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 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.
18 Thus 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:
19 And 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.
20 And 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.
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 for a 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 for a 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.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
