45  I nga wa ano e wehea ai e koutou te whenua hei wahi tupu, me whakahere he whakahere ma Ihowa, me whakatapu tetahi wahi o te whenua: ko tona roa ko te roa o nga kakaho e rua tekau ma rima mano; ko te whanui kotahi tekau mano. Ka tapu tenei, ona ta ha katoa a tawhio noa.

Waiho tetahi wahi o tenei, kia rima rau te roa mo te wahi tapu, kia rima rau te whanui, he tapawha a tawhio noa, kia rima tekau ano nga whatianga mo waho ake a tawhio noa.

Me whanganga ano e koe tetahi wahi o tenei ka oti nei te whanganga kia rua tekau ma rima mano te roa, kia tekau mano te whanui: a hei reira te wahi tapu, te wahi tapu rawa.

He wahi tapu ia no te whenua; mo nga tohunga tera, mo nga minita o te wahi tapu e whakatata ana ki te minita ki a Ihowa: hei wahi ano tera mo o ratou whare, hei wahi tapu ano mo te wahi tapu.

Ko te rua tekau ma rima mano nei te roa, tekau mano te whanui, mo nga Riwaiti, mo nga minita o te whare, hei wahi mo ratou, mo nga ruma e rua tekau.

Me whakarite ano e koutou te wahi mo te pa, e rima mano te roa, ki te taha o te wahi tapu ka whakaherea nei: mo te whare katoa o Iharaira tera.

A, he aha he wahi mo te rangatira, hei tetahi taha, hei tetahi taha o te wahi tapu ka whakaherea nei, o te wahi ano i te pa, ki mua o te wahi tapu ka whakaherea nei, o te wahi hoki i te pa, i te taha ki te hauauru whaka te hauauru, i te taha hoki ki te rawhiti, whaka te rawhiti, kia rite ano te roa ki tetahi o aua wahi, me timata i te rohe ki te hauauru a tae noa ki te rohe ki te rawhiti.

Kei te whenua te wahi mona i roto i a Iharaira: e kore ano aku rangatira e whakatupu kino i taku iwi a muri ake nei; engari me hoatu e ratou te whenua ki te whare o Iharaira, ki tenei hapu, ki tenei hapu.

Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Kati ta koutou, e nga rangatira o Iharaira; whakarerea atu te tukino, te pahua, mahia te whakawa, me te tika, whakamutua a koutou peinga i taku iwi, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

10 Kia tika a koutou pauna, kia tika te epa, kia tika te pati.

11 Kia kotahi te mehua mo te epa, mo te pati; ko te pati he whakatekau no te homa, ko te epa hoki he whakatekau no te homa: ko te mehua mo taua mea ko te homa.

12 A ko te hekere kia rua tekau nga kera: ko ta koutou mane kia rua tekau hekere, kia rua tekau ma rima hekere, kia kotahi tekau ma rima hekere.

13 Ko te whakahere tenei e whakaherea e koutou; he witi, ko te wahi tuaono o te epa o te homa; a me homai e koutou he parei, hei te wahi tuaono o te epa o te homa.

14 Na, ko te tikanga mo te hinu, mo te pati hinu, hei te whakatekau o te pati i roto i te koro, he homa nei tana, ara tekau nga pati; kotahi tekau hoki nga pati o te homa:

15 Kia kotahi ano reme i roto i te kahui, i roto i nga rau e rua, he mea no nga haereerenga makuku o Iharaira; hei whakahere totokore, hei tahunga tinana, hei whakahere mo te pai, hei mea whakamarie mo ratou, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

16 Me hoatu tenei whakahere e te iwi katoa o te whenua ki te rangatira i roto i a Iharaira.

17 Na, ko tenei ta te rangatira, he homai i nga tahunga tinana, i nga whakahere totokore, i nga ringihanga, mo nga hakari, mo nga kowhititanga marama, mo nga hapati, mo nga huihuinga nui katoa o te whare o Iharaira: kia rite mai ano i a ia te whaka here hara, te whakahere totokore, te tahunga tinana, nga whakahere mo te pai, hei whakamarie mo te whare o Iharaira.

18 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua; I te marama tuatahi, i te tuatahi o nga ra o te marama, me tiki e koe he puru kuao, hei te mea kohakore, ka pure i te wahi tapu.

19 Me tango ano e te tohunga tetahi wahi o te toto o te whakahere hara, ka pani ki nga pou o te whare, ki nga koki e wha ano o te papa o te aata, ki nga pou ano o te kuwaha o to roto marae.

20 Ko tau ano tera e mea ai i te whitu o nga ra o te marama hei mea mo te tangata i te he, mo te kuware: a ka oti te whakamarie mo te whare.

21 Hei te marama tuatahi, hei te tekau ma wha o nga ra o te marama, ta koutou kapenga, he hakari, e whitu nga ra; ko te taro hei kai, he mea rewenakore.

22 Kia rite mai ano hoki i te rangatira i taua ra, he puru hei whakahere hara mona, mo te iwi katoa o te whenua.

23 Kia rite mai ano i a ia i nga ra e whitu o te hakari te tahunga tinana ma Ihowa, e whitu nga puru, e whitu nga hipi toa, he mea kohakore i tenei ra, i tenei ra, i nga ra e whitu; me tetahi kuao koati i tenei ra, i tenei ra, hei whakahere hara.

24 Kia rite mai ano i a ia he whakahere totokore, kotahi te puru kia kotahi ano te epa, kotahi te hipi toa kia kotahi ano te epa, kotahi te epa kia kotahi hine hinu.

25 I te whitu o nga marama, i te tekau ma rima o nga ra o te marama, i te hakari, ka mahia mai e ia enei mea, kia whitu nga ra; kia rite ki te whakahere hara, ki te tahunga tinana, ki te whakahere totokore, ki te hinu hoki.

Israel Fully Restored

45 “‘When you allot the land as an inheritance,(A) you are to present to the Lord a portion of the land as a sacred district, 25,000 cubits[a] long and 20,000[b] cubits[c] wide; the entire area will be holy.(B) Of this, a section 500 cubits[d] square(C) is to be for the sanctuary, with 50 cubits[e] around it for open land. In the sacred district, measure off a section 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits[f] wide. In it will be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place. It will be the sacred portion of the land for the priests,(D) who minister in the sanctuary and who draw near to minister before the Lord. It will be a place for their houses as well as a holy place for the sanctuary.(E) An area 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide will belong to the Levites, who serve in the temple, as their possession for towns to live in.[g](F)

“‘You are to give the city as its property an area 5,000 cubits[h] wide and 25,000 cubits long, adjoining the sacred portion; it will belong to all Israel.(G)

“‘The prince will have the land bordering each side of the area formed by the sacred district and the property of the city. It will extend westward from the west side and eastward from the east side, running lengthwise from the western to the eastern border parallel to one of the tribal portions.(H) This land will be his possession in Israel. And my princes will no longer oppress my people but will allow the people of Israel to possess the land according to their tribes.(I)

“‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: You have gone far enough, princes of Israel! Give up your violence and oppression(J) and do what is just and right.(K) Stop dispossessing my people, declares the Sovereign Lord. 10 You are to use accurate scales,(L) an accurate ephah[i](M) and an accurate bath.[j] 11 The ephah(N) and the bath are to be the same size, the bath containing a tenth of a homer and the ephah a tenth of a homer; the homer is to be the standard measure for both. 12 The shekel[k] is to consist of twenty gerahs.(O) Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels equal one mina.[l]

13 “‘This is the special gift you are to offer: a sixth of an ephah[m] from each homer of wheat and a sixth of an ephah[n] from each homer of barley. 14 The prescribed portion of olive oil, measured by the bath, is a tenth of a bath[o] from each cor (which consists of ten baths or one homer, for ten baths are equivalent to a homer). 15 Also one sheep is to be taken from every flock of two hundred from the well-watered pastures of Israel. These will be used for the grain offerings, burnt offerings(P) and fellowship offerings to make atonement(Q) for the people, declares the Sovereign Lord. 16 All the people of the land will be required to give this special offering to the prince in Israel. 17 It will be the duty of the prince to provide the burnt offerings, grain offerings and drink offerings at the festivals, the New Moons(R) and the Sabbaths(S)—at all the appointed festivals of Israel. He will provide the sin offerings,[p] grain offerings, burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to make atonement for the Israelites.(T)

18 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: In the first month(U) on the first day you are to take a young bull without defect(V) and purify the sanctuary.(W) 19 The priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the temple, on the four corners of the upper ledge(X) of the altar(Y) and on the gateposts of the inner court. 20 You are to do the same on the seventh day of the month for anyone who sins unintentionally(Z) or through ignorance; so you are to make atonement for the temple.

21 “‘In the first month on the fourteenth day you are to observe the Passover,(AA) a festival lasting seven days, during which you shall eat bread made without yeast. 22 On that day the prince is to provide a bull as a sin offering for himself and for all the people of the land.(AB) 23 Every day during the seven days of the festival he is to provide seven bulls and seven rams(AC) without defect as a burnt offering to the Lord, and a male goat for a sin offering.(AD) 24 He is to provide as a grain offering(AE) an ephah for each bull and an ephah for each ram, along with a hin[q] of olive oil for each ephah.(AF)

25 “‘During the seven days of the festival,(AG) which begins in the seventh month on the fifteenth day, he is to make the same provision for sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings and oil.(AH)
