Ezekiel 45 is the forty-fifth chapter of the Book of Ezekiel in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.[1][2] This book contains the prophecies attributed to the prophet/priest Ezekiel,[3] and is one of the Books of the Prophets.[4][5] The final section of Ezekiel, chapters 40-48, give the ideal picture of a new temple. The Jerusalem Bible refers to this section as "the Torah of Ezekiel".[6] In particular, chapters 44–46 record various laws governing the rites and personnel of the sanctuary, as a supplement to Ezekiel's vision.[7]
This chapter contains Ezekiel's vision of the portion of land reserved for the sanctuary (Ezekiel 45:1-5), for the city (verse 6), and for the prince (verses 7-8), and the ordinances for the prince (verses 9-25).[8] The vision was given on the 25th anniversary of Ezekiel's exile, "April 28, 573 BCE",[9] 14 years after the fall of Jerusalem and 12 years after the last messages of hope in chapter 39.[10]
Text
The original text was written in the Hebrew language. This chapter is divided into 25 verses.
Textual witnesses
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Codex Cairensis (895), the Petersburg Codex of the Prophets (916), Aleppo Codex (10th century), Codex Leningradensis (1008).[11]
There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint, made in the last few centuries BC. Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century), Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century) and Codex Marchalianus (Q; Q; 6th century).[12][a]
Verse 1
- “Moreover, when you divide the land by lot into inheritance, you shall set apart a district for the Lord, a holy section of the land; its length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits, and the width ten thousand. It shall be holy throughout its territory all around.” (NKJV)[14]
- "Cubit": here is a "long cubit", about 21 inches (53 cm), as defined in Ezekiel 40:5.[10]
Verse 2
- “Of this there shall be a square plot for the sanctuary, five hundred by five hundred rods, with fifty cubits around it for an open space.”[15]
- The measuring rod is six long cubits, about 126 inches or 10.5 feet (3.2 m).[10]
Verse 18
- Thus says the Lord God: In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall take a young bull without blemish and cleanse the sanctuary.[16]
Verse 21
- “In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall observe the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.” (NKJV)[17]
- The festival calendar given to Ezekiel highlights the "Passover" (Exodus 12:6; Leviticus 23:4–8), among the two mentioned celebrations.[18]
Verse 25
- “In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, at the feast, he shall do likewise for seven days, according to the sin offering, the burnt offering, the grain offering, and the oil.” (NKJV)[19]
- The festival calendar given to Ezekiel highlights the "Sukkot" (Leviticus 23:33–36; Numbers 29:12–38; Deuteronomy 16:13–15), among the two mentioned celebrations.[18]
