Ezekiel 45:1 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto the LORD, an holy portion 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 borders thereof round about.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

When you're dividing up the land and giving everyone their inheritance, make sure to set aside a special portion just for God — a holy section that's 25,000 reeds long and 10,000 reeds wide. The entire area within those boundaries is sacred.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

When God blesses you with something, always remember to give him the first and best portion.
