¶ The .xlv Chapter. ¶ Out of all the l&abar;de of promes ar ther separate .iiii. porcions, of which the fyrst is geu&ebar; to the prestes and to the temple, the seconde to the leuytes: the thyrde to the citye: the fourth to the prynce. An exhortayon to the heades of Israel. Of iust weyghtes and measures. Of fyrst frutes. ∧c.

A   When ye deuyde the l&abar;de by the lot, ye shall put asyde one note parte for the Lorde, to be holy from other landes: namely .xxv.M. meteroddes l&obar;ge, and .x.M. broade. This shalbe holy, as wyde as it is rounde about. Of thys parte there shall belonge vnto the sanctuary v.C. meteroddes in all the foure corners, ∧ .l. cubites wyde rounde about to the suburbes And from this measure, namely of .xxv.M. meteroddes l&obar;ge, ∧ .x.M. broade, thou shalt measure, wherin the sanctuary and the holyest of all maye stande.

The resydue of that holy grounde shalbe the prestes, which do seruyce in the sanctuary of the Lorde, and goo in before the Lorde to serue hym, that they maye haue rowme to dwell in.

B   As for the sanctuary, it shall stande for it selfe: and to the leuites that serue in the house, there shalbe geuen .xx. habitatyons, of the xxv.M. l&ebar;gth and .x.M. bredth: ye shall geue also vnto the citye a possession of .v.M. meteroddes brode, and .xxv.M. l&obar;ge, beside the parte of the sanctuary: that shalbe for the whole house of Israel. noteUpon both the sydes of the sanctuaryes parte, and by the cytie, there shalbe geuen vnto the prince, whatsoeuer lyeth oueragaynst the citye, C   as farre as reacheth westwarde ∧ eastwarde: which shalbe as longe as one parte, from the west vnto the east.

This shalbe hys awne lande in Israel, þt; my prynces be nomore chargeable vnto my people. And soch as remayneth yet ouer in þe; lande, shalbe geuen to the house of Israel according to theyr tribes. Thus sayth þe; Lord God: O ye princes, ye haue nowe oppressed and destroyed ynough: nowe leaue of, handle nowe according to the thinge þt; is equall and lawfull: ∧ thrust out my people nomore sayth the Lorde God. noteYe shall haue a true weyght, a true ephah, and a true bath. The ephah and the bath shalbe a lyke. One bath shall conteyne the tenth parte of an homer, and so shall one ephah do: their measure shall be after the homer. note D   One syckle maketh .xx: geras. So twentye sycles, and .xxv. and .xv. sycles make a pounde. Thys is the heaueofferynge, that ye shall geue to be heaued: namely, the .xvj. parte of an ephah, out of an homer of wheate, and the .xvj. parte of an ephah, out of an homer of barly. The oyle shalbe measured with the bath: euen the t&ebar;th parte of one bath out of a cor.

Ten bathes make one homer: for one homer fylleth ten bathes. And one lambe from two hundred shepe out of the pasture of Israel: for a meatofferyng, burntofferyng, and healthofferyng, to reconcyle them, sayth the Lorde God. All the people of the lande shall geue thys heaueofferynge with a fre wyll. Agayne, it shalbe the princes parte to offre burntofferynges, meateofferinges ∧ drinckofferinges vnto the Lord, in the holy dayes, newe moones, sabbathes, and in all the hye feastes of the house of Israel. F   The synoffering, meateofferyng, burntoffring ∧ healthofferyng shall he geue to reconcyle the house of Israel. Thus sayth the Lorde God: The fyrst daye of the first moneth thou shalt take a yonge bullocke without blemysh, and cl&ebar;se the sanctuarye. So the preste shall take of the bloude of the synofferyng, and sprynckle it vnto the postes of the house, and vpon the foure corners of the aulter, with the dorepostes of the ynnermer courte. And thus shalt thou do also the seuenth daye of the moneth note (for soch as haue synned of ignoraunce, or beynge disceaued) to reconcyle the house &wt; all. noteUpon the .xiiij. daye of the fyrst moneth, ye shall kepe easter. Seuen dayes shall the feaste contynue, wherin there shall no sowre ner leuened breed be eaten.

G   Upon the same daye shall the prince geue for him selfe ∧ all the people of the lande, a bullocke for a synofferyng. And in the feast of the seuen dayes he shall offre euery daye a bullocke and a ram, þt; are without blemysh, for a burntoffering vnto þe; Lorde: and an hegoate daylye for a synoffering. For þe; meatofferynges he shall geue euer an ephah to a bullocke, an ephah to a ram, and an hyn of oyle to an ephah. Upon the fyftenth daye of the seuenth moneth, he shall kepe the seuen dayes holy, one after another, euen as the other seuen dayes: &wt; the synoffering, burntoffering, meatoffering, and with the oyle.
