This chapter turns from vision to survey, laying out a holy portion of land twenty-five thousand reeds long, honest weights and measures, and a seven-day Passover feast for Israel’s prince.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
Moreover when you shall divide by lot the land For inheritance you shall offer up a holy portion Unto the LORD 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 border thereof round about Of this there shall be for the sanctuary Five hundred in length and five hundred in breadth
Square round about and fifty cubits for the suburbs thereof And of this measure shall you measure off a length Of five and twenty thousand and a breadth of ten thousand
And of this the sanctuary and the most holy place shall be It shall be a place 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 a holy place for the sanctuary And five and twenty thousand of length And ten thousand of breadth shall also the Levites
The ministers of the house have for themselves For a possession twenty chambers And you shall give the possession of the city Five thousand broad and five and twenty thousand long
Over against the portion set apart for the holy place That shall be for the whole house of Israel And for the prince shall be on the one side and on the other side Of the holy oblation and of the possession of the city
Before the holy oblation and before the possession of the city On the west side westward and on the east side eastward And the length shall be over against one of the portions From the west border unto the east border
In the land shall be his possession in Israel And my princes shall no more oppress my people But they shall give the land to the house of Israel According to their tribes
