1 both on the north and on the east; and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits.
2 And he led me toward the south; and, behold, a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures.
3 And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
4 And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof were before them; and it had palm-trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof.
5 And there was a gate to the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits.

7 and the lodges thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about; it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
8 And there were arches round about, five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.
9 And the arches thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof: and the ascent to it had eight steps.

22 the sacrifices.
23 And there were four tables for the burnt-offering, of hewn stone, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high; whereupon they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt-offering and the sacrifice.

1 And when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer a heave-offering unto Jehovah, a holy portion of the land: the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand [cubits], and the breadth ten thousand. This shall be holy in all the borders thereof round about.
2 Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred [reeds] by five hundred, square round about; and fifty cubits round about for the suburbs thereof.
3 And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand; and in it shall be the sanctuary, the holy of holies.
4 This is the holy [portion] of the land; it shall be for the priests who do the service of the sanctuary, who draw near to serve Jehovah, and it shall be a place for their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary.
5 And [a space of] five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth, shall the Levites, who do the service of the house, have for themselves, for a possession, for their habitations.
6 And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand in breadth, and five and twenty thousand in length, alongside of the holy heave-offering: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.
7 And the prince shall have [his portion] on the one side and on the other side of the holy heave-offering and of the possession of the city, over against the holy heave-offering, and over against the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward; and in length answering to one of the portions [of the tribes] from the west border unto the east border.
8 As land shall it be his for a 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.
9 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Let it suffice you, princes of Israel! Put away violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice; take off your exactions from my people, saith the Lord Jehovah.
10 Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.
11 The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, so that the bath may contain the tenth part of a homer, and the ephah the tenth part of a homer: the measure thereof shall be according to the homer.
12 And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs; twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh.
13 This is the heave-offering which ye shall offer: the sixth part of an ephah out of a homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah out of a homer of barley;
14 and the set portion of oil, by the bath of oil, the tenth part of a bath out of a cor, [which is] a homer of ten baths, for ten baths are a homer;
15 and one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, from the well-watered pastures of Israel; — for an oblation, and for a burnt-offering, and for peace-offerings, to make atonement for them, saith the Lord Jehovah.
16 All the people of the land shall be [held] to this heave-offering for the prince in Israel.
17 And it shall be the prince's part [to supply] the burnt-offerings, and the oblation, and the drink-offering, at the feasts, and at the new moons, and on the sabbaths, in all the solemnities of the house of Israel: it is he that shall prepare the sin-offering, and the oblation, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.
18 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the first [month], on the first of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock, without blemish, and thou shalt purge the sanctuary.
19 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.
20 So thou shalt do also on the seventh of the month for every one that erreth, and for the simple; and ye shall make atonement for the house.
21 In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of seven days: unleavened bread shall be eaten.
22 And upon that day shall the prince offer for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin-offering.
23 And the seven days of the feast he shall offer a burnt-offering to Jehovah, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily for the seven days; and a he-goat daily for a sin-offering.
24 And he shall offer an oblation of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram; and oil, a hin for an ephah.
25 In the seventh [month], on the fifteenth day of the month, at the feast, shall he do the like seven days, according to the sin-offering, according to the burnt-offering, and according to the oblation, and according to the oil.

1 And when ye measure the land for inheritance, ye shall set apart first-fruits to the Lord, a holy space of the land, in length twenty and five thousand [reeds], and in breadth twenty thousand; it shall be holy in all the borders thereof round about.
2 And there shall be a sanctuary out of this, five hundred [reeds in length] by five hundred in breadth, a square round about; and [there shall be] a vacant space [beyond] this of fifty cubits round about.
3 And out of this measurement shalt thou measure the length five and twenty thousand, and the breadth twenty thousand: and in it shall be the holy of holies.
4 Of the land shall be [a portion] for the priests that minister in the holy place, and it shall be for them that draw nigh to minister to the Lord: and it shall be to them a place for houses set apart for their sacred office;

8 And he shall have it for a possession in Israel: and the princes of Israel shall no more oppress my people; but the house of Israel shall inherit the land according to their tribes.
9 Thus saith the Lord God; Let it suffice you, ye princes of Israel: remove injustice and misery, execute judgment and justice; take away oppression from my people, saith the Lord God.
10 Ye shall have a just balance, and a just measure, and a just chœnix for measure.
11 And in like manner there shall be one chœnix as a measure of capacity; the tenth of the gomor [shall be] the chœnix, and the tenth of the gomor shall be in fair proportion to the gomor.
12 And the weights [shall be] twenty oboli, your pound shall be five shekels, fifteen shekels and fifty shekels.
13 And these are the first-fruits which ye shall offer; a sixth part of a gomor of wheat, and the sixth part of it [shall consist] of an ephah of a cor of barley.
14 And [ye shall give as] the appointed measure of oil one bath of oil out of ten baths; for ten baths are a gomor.
15 And one sheep from the flock out of ten, as an oblation from all the tribes of Israel, for sacrifices, and for whole-burnt-offerings, and for peace-offerings, to make atonement for you, saith the Lord God.
16 And all the people shall give these first-fruits to the prince of Israel.
17 And through the prince shall be [offered] the whole-burnt-offerings and the meat-offerings, and the drink-offerings in the feasts, and at the new moons, and on the sabbaths; and in all the feasts of the house of Israel: he shall offer the sin-offerings, and the meat-offering, and the whole-burnt-offerings, and the peace-offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.
18 Thus saith the Lord God; In the first month, on the first [day] of the month, ye shall take a calf without blemish out of the herd, to make atonement for the holy place.
19 And the priest shall take of the blood of the atonement, and put it on the thresholds of the house, and upon the four corners of the temple, and upon the altar, and upon the thresholds of the gate of the inner court.
20 And thus shalt thou do in the seventh month; on the first [day] of the month thou shalt take a rate from each one; and ye shall make atonement for the house.
21 And in the first [month], on the fourteenth [day] of the month, ye shall have the feast of the passover; seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread.
22 And the prince shall offer in that day a calf for a sin-offering for himself, and the house, and for all the people of the land.
23 And for the seven days of the feast he shall offer as whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord seven calves and seven rams without blemish daily for the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily for a sin-offering, and a meat-offering.
24 And thou shalt prepare a cake for the calf, and cakes for the ram, and a hin of oil for the cake.
25 And in the seventh month, on the fifteenth [day] of the month, thou shalt sacrifice in the feast in the same way seven days, as [they sacrificed] the sin-offerings, and the whole-burnt-offerings, and the freewill-offering, and the oil.

1 Cumque cœperitis terram dividere sortito, separate primitias Domino, sanctificatum de terra, longitudine vigintiquinque millia, et latitudine decem millia: sanctificatum erit in omni termino eius per circuitum.
2 Et erit ex omni parte sanctificatum quingentos per quingentos, quadrifariam per circuitum: et quinquaginta cubitis in suburbana eius per gyrum.
3 Et a mensura ista mensurabis longitudinem vigintiquinque millium, et latitudinem decem millium, et in ipso erit templum, sanctumque sanctorum.
4 Sanctificatum de terra erit sacerdotibus ministris sanctuarii, qui accedunt ad ministerium Domini: et erit eis locus in domos, et in sanctuarium sanctitatis.
5 Vigintiquinque autem millia longitudinis, et decem millia latitudinis erunt Levitis, qui ministrant domui: ipsi possidebunt viginti gazophylacia.
6 Et possessionem civitatis dabitis quinque millia latitudinis, et longitudinis vigintiquinque millia secundum separationem sanctuarii, omni domui Israel.
7 Principi quoque hinc et inde in separationem sanctuarii, et in possessionem civitatis, contra faciem separationis sanctuarii, et contra faciem possessionis urbis: a latere Maris usque ad Mare, et a latere Orientis usque ad Orientem: Longitudinis autem iuxta unamquamque partem a termino Occidentali usque ad terminum Orientalem.
8 De terra erit ei possessio in Israel: et non depopulabuntur ultra principes populum meum: sed terram dabunt domui Israel secundum tribus eorum.
9 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Sufficiat vobis principes Israel: iniquitatem et rapinas intermittite, et iudicium et iustitiam facite, separate confinia vestra a populo meo, ait Dominus Deus.
10 Statera iusta, et ephi iustum, et batus iustus erit vobis.
11 Ephi, et batus æqualia, et unius mensuræ erunt: ut capiat decimam partem cori batus, et decimam partem cori ephi: iuxta mensuram cori erit æqua libratio eorum.
12 Siclus autem viginti obolos habet. Porro viginti sicli, et vigintiquinque sicli, et quindecim sicli, mnam faciunt.
13 Et hæ sunt primitiæ, quas tolletis: sextam partem ephi de coro frumenti, et sextam partem ephi de coro hordei.
14 Mensura quoque olei, batus olei, decima pars cori est: et decem bati corum faciunt: quia decem bati implent corum.
15 Et arietem unum de grege ducentorum de his, quæ nutriunt Israel in sacrificium, et in holocaustum, et in pacifica, ad expiandum pro eis, ait Dominus Deus.
16 Omnis populus terræ tenebitur primitiis his principi in Israel.
17 Et super principem erunt holocausta, et sacrificium, et libamina in sollemnitatibus, et in Calendis, et in Sabbatis, et in universis sollemnitatibus domus Israel: ipse faciet pro peccato sacrificium, et holocaustum, et pacifica ad expiandum pro domo Israel.
18 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: In primo mense, una mensis sumes vitulum de armento immaculatum, et expiabis sanctuarium.
19 Et tollet sacerdos de sanguine quod erit pro peccato: et ponet in postibus domus, et in quattuor angulis crepidinis altaris, et in postibus portæ atrii interioris.
20 Et sic facies in septima mensis pro unoquoque, qui ignoravit, et errore deceptus est, et expiabis pro domo.
21 In primo mense, quartadecima die mensis erit vobis Paschæ sollemnitas: septem diebus azyma comedentur.
22 Et faciet princeps in die illa pro se, et pro universo populo terræ, vitulum pro peccato.
23 Et in septem dierum sollemnitate faciet holocaustum Domino septem vitulos, et septem arietes immaculatos quotidie septem diebus: et pro peccato hircum caprarum quotidie.
24 Et sacrificium ephi per vitulum, et ephi per arietem faciet: et olei hin per singula ephi.
25 Septimo mense, quintadecima die mensis in sollemnitate faciet sicut supra dicta sunt per septem dies: tam pro peccato, quam pro holocausto, et in sacrificio, et in oleo.

1 “‘“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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 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.
6 “‘“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.
7 “‘“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.
8 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.”
9 “‘The Lord GOD says: “Enough, you princes of Israel! Remove violence and plunder, and execute justice and righteousness! Stop dispossessing my people!” says the Lord GOD.
10 “You shall have just balances, a just ephah, and a just bath.
11 The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain one tenth of a homer, and the ephah one tenth of a homer. Its measure shall be the same as the homer.
12 The shekel shall be twenty gerahs. Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels shall be your mina.
13 “‘“This is the offering that you shall offer: the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of wheat, and you shall give the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of barley,
14 and the set portion of oil, of the bath of oil, one tenth of a bath out of the cor, which is ten baths, even a homer (for ten baths are a homer),
15 and one lamb of the flock out of two hundred, from the well-watered pastures of Israel—for a meal offering, for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make atonement for them,” says the Lord GOD.
16 “All the people of the land shall give to this offering for the prince in Israel.
17 It shall be the prince’s part to give the burnt offerings, the meal offerings, and the drink offerings, in the feasts, and on the new moons, and on the Sabbaths, in all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel. He shall prepare the sin offering, the meal offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.”
18 “‘The Lord GOD says: “In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall take a young bull without defect, and you shall cleanse the sanctuary.
19 The priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the door posts of the house, and on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the posts of the gate of the inner court.
20 So you shall do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who errs, and for him who is simple. So you shall make atonement for the house.
21 “‘“In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall have the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.
22 On that day the prince shall prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering.
23 The seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the LORD, seven bulls and seven rams without defect daily the seven days; and a male goat daily for a sin offering.
24 He shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah for a bull, an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
25 “‘“In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, during the feast, he shall do like that for seven days. He shall make the same provision for sin offering, the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the oil.”

1 And in your causing the land to fall in inheritance, ye lift up a heave-offering to Jehovah, a holy <FI>portion<Fi> of the land: the length--five and twenty thousand <FI>is<Fi> the length, and the breadth ten thousand; it <FI>is<Fi> holy in all its border round about.
2 There is of this for the sanctuary five hundred by five hundred, square, round about; and fifty cubits of suburb <FI>is<Fi> to it round about.
3 And by this measure thou dost measure: the length <FI>is<Fi> five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand: and in it is the sanctuary, the holy of holies.
4 The holy <FI>portion<Fi> of the land it <FI>is<Fi> ; for priests, ministrants of the sanctuary, it is, who are drawing near to serve Jehovah; and it hath been to them a place for houses, and a holy place for a sanctuary.
5 `And of the five and twenty thousand of length, and of the ten thousand of breadth, there is to the Levites, ministrants of the house, for them--for a possession--twenty chambers.
6 `And of the possession of the city ye give five thousand of breadth, and of length five and twenty thousand, over-against the heave-offering of the holy <FI>portion<Fi> : to all the house of Israel it is.
7 As to the prince, on this side, and on that side, of the heave-offering of the holy place, and of the possession of the city, at the front of the heave-offering of the holy place, and at the front of the possession of the city, from the west corner westward, and from the east corner eastward--and the length <FI>is<Fi> over-against one of the portions from the west border unto the east border--
8 of the land there is to him for a possession in Israel, and My princes do not oppress any more My people, and the land they give to the house of Israel according to their tribes.
9 `Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Enough to you--princes of Israel; violence and spoil turn aside, and judgment and righteousness do; lift up your exactions from off My people--an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
10 Just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath--ye have.
11 The ephah and the bath is of one measure, for the bath to bear a tenth of the homer, and the ephah a tenth of the homer: according to the homer is its measurement.
12 And, the shekel <FI>is<Fi> twenty gerah: twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels--is your maneh.
13 `This <FI>is<Fi> the heave-offering that ye lift up; a sixth part of the ephah of a homer of wheat, also ye have given a sixth part of the ephah of a homer of barley,
14 and the portion of oil, the bath of oil, a tenth part of the bath out of the cor, a homer of ten baths--for ten baths <FI>are<Fi> a homer;
15 and one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the watered country of Israel, for a present, and for a burnt-offering, and for peace-offerings, to make atonement by them--an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
16 All the people of the land are at this heave-offering for the prince in Israel.
17 And on the prince are the burnt-offerings, and the present, and the libation, in feasts, and in new moons, and in sabbaths, in all appointed times of the house of Israel: he doth make the sin-offering, and the present, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.
18 `Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In the first <FI>month<Fi> , in the first of the month, thou dost take a bullock, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and hast cleansed the sanctuary:
19 and the priest hath taken of the blood of the sin offering, and hath put on the door-post of the house, and on the four corners of the border of the altar, and on the post of the gate of the inner court.
20 And so thou dost do on the seventh of the month, because of each erring one, and because of the simple one--and ye have purified the house.
21 `In the first <FI>month<Fi> , in the fourteenth day of the month, ye have the passover, a feast of seven days, unleavened food is eaten.
22 And the prince hath prepared on that day, for himself, and for all the people of the land, a bullock, a sin-offering.
23 And the seven days of the feast he prepareth a burnt-offering to Jehovah, seven bullocks, and seven rams, perfect ones, daily seven days, and a sin-offering, a kid of the goats, daily.
24 And a present of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, he doth prepare, and of oil a hin for an ephah.
25 In the seventh <FI>month<Fi> , in the fifteenth day of the month, in the feast, he doth according to these things seven days; as the sin-offering so the burnt-offering, and as the present so also the oil.

Explain Like I'm 5

A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!

Explain Like I'm 10

Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.

Explain Like I'm 15

Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
