⁹ “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: You have gone far enough, princes of Israel! Give up your violence and oppression^(A) and do what is just and right.^(B) Stop dispossessing my people, declares the Sovereign Lord. ¹⁰ You are to use accurate scales,^(C) an accurate ephah^[a](D) and an accurate bath.^{[b] 11} The ephah^(E) 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^[c] is to consist of twenty gerahs.^(F) Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels equal one mina.^[d]

¹³ “‘This is the special gift you are to offer: a sixth of an ephah^[e] from each homer of wheat and a sixth of an ephah^[f] from each homer of barley. ¹⁴ The prescribed portion of olive oil, measured by the bath, is a tenth of a bath^[g] 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^(G) and fellowship offerings to make atonement^(H) 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^(I) and the Sabbaths^(J)—at all the appointed festivals of Israel. He will provide the sin offerings,^[h] grain offerings, burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to make atonement for the Israelites.^(K)

¹⁸ “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: In the first month^(L) on the first day you are to take a young bull without defect^(M) and purify the sanctuary.^{(N) 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^(O) of the altar^(P) 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^(Q) 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,^(R) 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.^{(S) 23} Every day during the seven days of the festival he is to provide seven bulls and seven rams^(T) without defect as a burnt offering to the Lord, and a male goat for a sin offering.^{(U) 24} He is to provide as a grain offering^(V) an ephah for each bull and an ephah for each ram, along with a hin^[i] of olive oil for each ephah.^(W)

²⁵ “‘During the seven days of the festival,^(X) 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.^(Y)

² The prince is to enter from the outside through the portico^(A) of the gateway and stand by the gatepost. The priests are to sacrifice his burnt offering^(B) and his fellowship offerings. He is to bow down in worship at the threshold of the gateway and then go out, but the gate will not be shut until evening.^(C)

⁴ The burnt offering the prince brings to the Lord on the Sabbath day is to be six male lambs and a ram, all without defect. ⁵ The grain offering given with the ram is to be an ephah,^[a] and the grain offering with the lambs is to be as much as he pleases, along with a hin^[b] of olive oil for each ephah.^{(A) 6} On the day of the New Moon^(B) he is to offer a young bull, six lambs and a ram, all without defect.^{(C) 7} He is to provide as a grain offering one ephah with the bull, one ephah with the ram, and with the lambs as much as he wants to give, along with a hin of oil for each ephah.^{(D) 8} When the prince enters, he is to go in through the portico^(E) of the gateway, and he is to come out the same way.^(F)
