The word on the holy portion to be offered to the LORD, the possession of the city, and what is for the prince
여호와께 예물로 드릴 거룩한 구역과 성읍의 기지와 왕에게 돌릴 땅에 관한 말씀
Ezekiel 45:1–8: the text says, “Moreover, when you divide by lot the land for inheritance, you shall offer an offering to the LORD, a holy portion of the land. The length shall be the length of twenty-five thousand reeds, and the width shall be ten thousand. It shall be holy in all its border all around. Of this there shall be a five hundred by five hundred square for the holy place, and fifty cubits for its pasture lands all around. Of this measure you shall measure a length of twenty-five thousand, and a width of ten thousand. In it shall be the sanctuary, which is most holy. It is a holy portion of the land; it shall be for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who come near to minister to the LORD. It shall be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary. Twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width shall be for the Levites, the ministers of the house, as a possession for themselves, for twenty rooms. You shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand cubits wide and twenty-five thousand long, side by side with the offering of the holy portion. It shall be for the whole house of Israel. What is for the prince shall be on the one side and on the other side of the holy allotment and of the possession of the city, in front of the holy allotment and in front of the possession of the city, on the west side westward, and on the east side eastward, and in length corresponding to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border. In the land it shall be to him for a possession in Israel. My princes shall no more oppress my people, but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.” These verses carry no formula saying that the LORD speaks. The Korean Revised Version reads 왕 (king) at 45:7, where WEB reads “the prince”; at 45:8 it reads 이 땅으로 왕에게 돌려 (giving this land to the king), where WEB reads “In the land it shall be to him”, and 나의 왕들 (my kings), where WEB reads “My princes”. It gives every length in 척, where WEB reads “twenty-five thousand reeds” at 45:1, “fifty cubits” at 45:2 and cubits at 45:5–6, and WEB gives no unit for the other numbers. At 45:2 it reads 뜰 (a court), where WEB reads “pasture lands”, and at 45:5 촌 이십을 세우게 하고 (to build twenty villages), where WEB reads “for twenty rooms”. At 45:8 it reads 그 나머지 땅은 이스라엘 족속에게 그 지파대로 나눠 줄찌니라 (the rest of the land shall be given to the house of Israel by their tribes), naming no one who gives it, where WEB reads “but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes”.
