Chapter 45.

"When you go share di land by lot as inheritance, set apart one portion for our Papa, one holy portion of di land: e go long reach like eight miles, e wide reach like three miles. Everywhere inside im border go dey holy. For inside dis one, one square wey be like 875 feet for every side na for di sanctuary, wit like ninety feet of open land wey surround am. From dis area, measure length wey be like eight miles and width wey be like three miles; for inside am, di sanctuary go dey, di most holy place. Na di holy portion of di land be dis. E go belong to di priests wey dey serve for di sanctuary, wey dey come near to serve me; dem go get place for house and holy place for di sanctuary. One area wey long reach like eight miles and wide reach like three miles go belong to di Levites wey dey serve for di temple, as dia own possession, wit cities wey dem go live.

"For di city im property, you go set aside one strip wey wide reach like one-and-half mile and long reach eight miles by di side of di holy portion; e belong to di whole house of Israel.

"Di prince go get land for both side of di holy portion and di city im property, along di holy portion and di city im property, for di west side go west and di east side go east; im length go match one of di tribe portions, from di western border reach di eastern border. Dis land go be im own for Israel. My princes no go press my people again, but dem go give di land to di house of Israel by dia tribes.'

Na dis be wetin di Sovereign Papa talk: E don do, una princes of Israel! Comot violence and oppression; do wetin correct and wetin be di correct-and-holy way. Comot di way wey una dey drive my people commot from dia land, na so di Sovereign Papa talk.

"Make una use scale wey dey honest, dry measure wey dey honest, and liquid measure wey dey honest. Twenty-two quart for dry and twenty-two quart for liquid: na di same one measure—di liquid na tenth of 220 quart, di dry na tenth of 220 quart; na di 220 quart dey set di standard. a a v11 One bath na liquid measure wey be like six gallon (22 liter); di ephah na im equal for dry-goods. Di standard weight equal twenty small unit. Twenty plus twenty-five plus fifteen of dis ones go make your big weight measure.

"Na dis be di offering wey una go bring: one-sixth of dry measure for every big measure of wheat, and one-sixth for every big measure of barley. Di oil portion wey dem set, wey dem measure wit liquid measure: one tenth of liquid measure for every big container—ten liquid measure go make one big container.' And one sheep from di flock, from every 200, from di pasture wey get water for Israel—for grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to make atonement for dem, na so di Sovereign Papa talk. 'All di people of di land go join for dis contribution to di prince for Israel. Di prince must provide di burnt offerings, grain offering, and drink offering for di festivals, new moons, and sabbaths—all di feasts wey dem appoint for di house of Israel. Na im go prepare di sin offering, grain offering, burnt offering, and peace offerings, to make atonement for di house of Israel.'

Di Sovereign Papa talk say: "For di first month, for di first day of di month, take young bull wey no get any blemish and purify di sanctuary. 'Di priest go take small blood from di sin offering and put am for di temple doorposts, di four corners of di altar ledge, and di posts of di inner court gate. Do di same thing for di seventh day of di month for anybody wey sin by mistake or wey no know. Na so una go make atonement for di temple.

"For di first month, for di fourteenth day, una go keep di Passover, one feast wey go last seven days, and na bread wey no get yeast una go chop. For dat day di prince go provide one bull as sin offering for imsef and for all di people of di land. For di seven days of di feast, na im go offer me burnt offering: seven bull and seven ram wey no get any blemish every day, di seven days; and every day one he-goat as sin offering. As grain offering, na im go provide one measure of grain for every bull and for every ram, wit like one gallon of oil for every measure. For di seventh month, for di fifteenth day of di month, for di festival, na im go do di same thing for seven days—di same sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, and oil."'
