Ezekiel 45:10-20

10 statera iusta et oephi iustum et batus iustus erit vobis

11 oephi et batus aequalia et unius mensurae erunt ut capiat decimam partem chori batus et decimam partem chori oephi iuxta mensuram chori erit aequa libratio eorum

12 siclus autem viginti obolos habeat porro viginti sicli et viginti quinque sicli et quindecim sicli minam facient

13 et haec sunt primitiae quas tolletis sextam partem oephi de choro frumenti et sextam partem oephi de choro hordei

14 mensura quoque olei batus olei decima pars chori est et decem bati chorum faciunt quia decem bati implent chorum

15 et arietem unum de grege ducentorum de his quae nutriunt Israhel in sacrificium et in holocaustum et in pacifica ad expiandum pro eis ait Dominus Deus

16 omnis populus terrae tenebitur primitiis his principi in Israhel

17 et super principem erunt holocausta et sacrificium et libamina in sollemnitatibus et in kalendis et in sabbatis in universis sollemnitatibus domus Israhel ipse faciat pro peccato sacrificium et holocaustum et pacifica ad expiandum pro domo Israhel

18 haec dicit Dominus Deus in primo mense una mensis sumes vitulum de armento inmaculatum et expiabis sanctuarium

19 et tollet sacerdos de sanguine quod erit pro peccato et ponet in postibus domus et in quattuor angulis crepidinis altaris et in postibus portae atrii interioris

20 et sic facies in septima mensis pro unoquoque qui ignoravit et errore deceptus est et expiabitis pro domo

Ezekiel 45:10-20 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EZEKIEL 45

This chapter treats of the division of the land in future time, and the persons and uses for which it is to be made; one part being for the sanctuary, and the priests that serve in it, and for their houses for them to dwell in, Eze 45:1-4, another for the Levites and their chambers, Eze 45:5, and another for the city, for the Israelites in common, Eze 45:6, and the last for the prince; and of the situation and extent of it, Eze 45:7,8 and of the righteous administration of civil government in the time of the spiritual reign of Christ, in abstinence from violence and exactions, and doing justice, for which orders and directions are given, Eze 45:9-12, then of the oblations of the people of the land, Eze 45:13-16, and next of those that are to be prepared by the prince, Eze 45:17, and the times of the offering of them, at the beginning of the year, on the feasts of the passover and tabernacles, Eze 45:18-25, the rules for which are so different from the Mosaic law, as show the abrogation of that; and that all this is to be understood in a spiritual and evangelic sense.
