1 Når I udskifter landet ved lodkastning, skal I yde Herren en Offerydelse, en hellig Del af Landet, 25 000 Alen lang og 20 000 Alen bred; hellig skal den være i hele sin Udstrækning.

2 Deraf skal til Helligdommen fratages et firkantet Stykke på 500 Alen til alle Sider, omgivet af en åben Plads på 50 Alen.

3 Af denne Strækning skal du afmåle et Stykke på 25000 Alens Længde og 10000 Alens Bredde; der skal Helligdommen, den højhellige, ligge.

4 Det er en hellig Gave af Landet og skal tilfalde Præsterne, som gør Tjeneste i Helligdommen, dem, som træder frem for at gøre Tjeneste for HE EN; og det skal give dem Plads til Boliger og Græsgang.

5 Et Stykke på 25000 Alens Længde og 10000 Alens Bredde skal som Grundejendom tilfalde Leviteme, som gør Tjeneste i Templet, til Byer at bo i.

6 Byens Grundejendom skal I give en Bredde af 5000 Alen og en Længde af 25000 Alen, samme Længde som den hellige Offerydelse; den skal tilhøre hele Israels Hus.

7 Og Fyrsten skal på begge Sider af den hellige Offerydelse og Byens Grundejendom have et Område langs den hellige Offerydelse og Byens Grundejendom både på Vestsiden og Østsiden af samme Længde som en af Stammelodderne fra Landets Vestgrænse til Østgrænsen;

8 det skal tilhøre ham som Grundejendom i Israel, for at mine Fyrster ikke fremtidig skal undertrykke mit Folk; men det øvrige Land skal gives Israels Hus, Stamme for Stamme.

9 siger den Herre HE EN: Lad det nu være nok, I Israels Fyrster! Afskaf Vold og Undertrykkelse, gør et og Skel og hør op med eders Overgreb mod mit Folk, lyder det fra den Herre HE EN.

10 Vægt, som vejer rigtigt, Efa og Bat, som holder Mål, skal I have.

11 Efa og Bat skal have ens Mål, så at en Bat holder en Tiendedel Homer, og en Efa ligeledes en Tiendedel Homer; efter en Homer skal Målet fastslås.

12 En Sekel skal holde tyve Gera; fem Sekel skal være fem, ti Sekel ti, og til halvtredsindstyve Sekel skal l regne en Mine.

13 Dette er den offerydelse, I skal yde: En Sjetedel Efa af hver Homer Hvede og en Sjetedel Efa af hver Homer Byg.

14 Den fastsatte Ydelse af Olien: En Tiendedel Bat af hver Kor, ti Bat udgør jo en Kor;

15 et Lam fra Småkvæget af hver 200 som Offerydelse fra alle Israels Slægter til Afgrødeofre, Brændofre og Takofre for at skaffe eder Soning, lyder det fra den Herre HE EN

16 Alt Folket i Landet skal give Fyrsten i Israel denne Offerydelse.

17 Men Fyrsten skal det påhvile at udrede Brændofrene, Afgrødeofrene og Drikofrene på Højtiderne, Nymånefesterne og Sabbaterne, alle Israels Huses Fester; han skal sørge for Syndofrene, Afgrødeofrene, Brændofrene og Takofrene for at skaffe Israels Hus Soning.

18 siger den Herre HE EN: På den første Dag i den første Måned skal I fage EN lydefri ung Tyr og rense Helligdommen for Synd.

19 Præsten skal tage noget af Syndofferets Blod og stryge det på Templets Dørstolper, Alterfremspringets fire Hjørner og Dørstolperne til den indre Forgårds Port.

20 Det samme skal han gøre på den første Dag i den syvende Måned for deres Skyld, som har fejlet af Vanvare eller Uvidenhed, og således skaffe Templet Soning.

21 På den fjortende Dag i den første Måned skal I fejre Påskefesten: syv Dage skal I spise usyret Brød;

22 og Fyrsten skal på den Dag for sig selv og for alt Folket i Landet ofre en Tyr som Syndoffer;

23 på de syv Festdage skal han som Brændoffer for HE EN ofre syv Tyre og syv Vædre, lydefri Dyr, på hver af de syv Dage, og ligeledes daglig som Syndoffer en Gedebuk;

24 og som Afgrødeoffer skal han ofre en Efa med Tyren og ligeledes een med Væderen, desuden en Hin Olie med Efaen.

25 På den femtende Dag i den syvende Måned skal han på Festen ofre lige så meget som Syndoffer, Brændoffer, Afgrødeoffer og lige så megen Olie; det skal han gøre syv Dage.

576. That the number ten means remnants, just as tenths do, becomes clear from the following places: In Isaiah,

Many houses will be a desolation, large and beautiful ones, without inhabitant, for ten acres of vineyard will yield but one bath, and a homer of seed will yield an ephah. Isaiah 5:9-10.

This refers to the vastation of spiritual and celestial things. 'Ten acres of vineyard will yield but one bath' stands for remnants of spiritual things being so few, while 'a homer of seed will yield an ephah' stands for remnants of celestial things being so few. In the same prophet,

And there will be many forsaken places in the midst of the land; and yet there will be a tenth part in it, and this will return; it will be however an uprooting. Isaiah 6:12-13.

'The midst of the land' stands for the internal man, 'a tenth part' for such a small quantity of remnants. In Ezekiel,

You shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath. The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, the bath containing a tenth of a homer; and the ephah a tenth of a homer, the measure for it shall be after the homer. And the fixed portion of oil, of the bath of oil, shall be a tenth of a bath from a cor, which is ten baths to the homer; for ten baths are a homer. Ezekiel 45:10-11, 14.

The quantities mentioned here relate to holy things, which are Jehovah's. They mean different kinds of holy things. 'Ten' here means remnants of celestial things and so of spiritual things. For what are the specific numerical quantities mentioned in this and in previous chapters of this prophet where the heavenly Jerusalem and the new Temple are the subject, and in other prophets, and also in the various rites of the Jewish Church, if they do not contain sacred arcana?

[2] In Amos,

She has fallen, no more to rise, the virgin of Israel. Thus said the Lord Jehovah, The city that goes forth a thousand will have remnants of a hundred, and that which goes forth a hundred will have remnants of ten to the house of Israel. Amos 5:2-3.

The word 'remnants' is used here, of which only a fraction will remain, for this is only a tenth part, or the remnants of remnants. In the same prophet,

I hate the pride of Jacob and his palaces, and I will shut up the city and all that is in it. And it will be that if ten men will have remained in one house, they will die. Amos 6:8-9.

'Ten' stands for remnants that are not likely to remain. In Moses,

The Ammonite and the Moabite shall not come into the assembly of Jehovah; even the tenth generation belonging to them shall not come into the assembly of Jehovah forever. Deuteronomy 23:3.

'The Ammonite and the Moabite' stands for the profanation of the celestial and the spiritual things of faith, the remnants of which have been dealt with already.

[3] From this it is clear that 'tenths' represents remnants, of which Malachi speaks as follows,

Bring all the tithes 1 to the treasure-house, that there may be plunder in My house, and let them put Me to the test in this matter whether I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing for you. Malachi 3:10.

'That there may be plunder in My house stands for remnants in the internal man, which are likened to 'plunder' because they are implanted, so to speak, by stealth among so many evils and falsities; and by way of such remnants comes every blessing. The fact that the whole of a person's charity comes to him by way of the remnants that are in the internal man was also represented in the Jewish Church by the requirement that once they had paid their tithes, 1 they were then to give to the Levite, the stranger, the orphan, and the widow, Deuteronomy 26:12 and following verses.

[4] Since remnants are the Lord' s alone, tenths are therefore called 'Holiness to Jehovah', and are spoken of in Moses as follows,

All the tithes 1 of the land - of the seed of the land, of the fruit of the tree - are Jehovah's; they are Holiness to Jehovah. All tithes 1 of the herd and of the flock, every tenth one that passes under the (herdsman's) staff shall be Holiness to Jehovah. Leviticus 27:30, 32.

Since the Decalogue consisted of Ten Commandments, or Ten Words, and Jehovah wrote them on tablets, Deuteronomy 10:4, remnants are meant; and the fact that they were written by the hand of Jehovah means that such remnants are the Lord's alone. Their presence in the internal man was represented by the tablets.
