Context — Instructions for Land Divisiongenerated

1“When you divide the land by lot as an inheritance, you are to set aside a portion for the LORD, a holy portion of the land 25,000 cubits long and 20,000 cubits wide. This entire tract of land will be holy.
2Within this area there is to be a section for the sanctuary 500 cubits square, with 50 cubits around it for open land.
3From this holy portion, you are to measure off a length of 25,000 cubits and a width of 10,000 cubits, and in it will be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.
4It will be a holy portion of the land to be used by the priests who minister in the sanctuary, who draw near to minister before the LORD. It will be a place for their houses, as well as a holy area for the sanctuary.

Ezekiel 45:1 provides detailed instructions on how the land of Israel is to be divided among the tribes. It emphasizes the importance of setting aside a specific portion for the LORD, highlighting the sacredness of this allocation. This directive reflects the broader themes of inheritance and holiness found throughout the book of Ezekiel, where God establishes guidelines for worship and community life among His people.

The Key Word תְרוּמָ֨ה, te.ru.Mahgenerated

The term תְרוּמָ֨ה (terumah) refers to a contribution or offering, particularly for sacred purposes. It is derived from the root meaning to lift or separate, indicating something dedicated to God. This word emphasizes the importance of giving and the sacred nature of the offerings made to the LORD.

In this context, תְרוּמָ֨ה signifies the portion of land that is to be set apart for the LORD, illustrating the need for a holy space within the inheritance of the people.

How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb of the verse is תָּרִימוּ֩, you will offer up, which governs the action of setting aside a portion of land. The structure of the sentence follows a clear directive format, outlining the process of land division and the specific instructions for the holy portion.

The phrase תְרוּמָ֨ה לַיהוָ֥ה functions as the object of the verb, indicating what is being offered. The Hebrew word order emphasizes the importance of the holy portion by placing it directly after the action of offering.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

In the Septuagint, תְרוּמָ֨ה is rendered as ἀπαρξὴν, which carries the meaning of a first offering or contribution. This choice suggests a focus on the initial act of dedicating a portion to God, highlighting its significance as the first fruits of the land.

This translation aligns with the Hebrew concept of separation and dedication, indicating that the offering is not just a contribution but a primary allocation intended for sacred purposes.

אֵת (eth) is primarily a grammatical marker in Hebrew, indicating the definite direct object of a verb. It is not translated into English and typically precedes nouns that are definite. The word is derived from a demonstrative sense of entity, related to the Hebrew word for 'self.' Its Aramaic equivalent is יָת (yat).

in-her'-i-tans (nahalah, "something inherited," "occupancy," "heirloom," "estate," "portion"): The word is used in its widest application in the Old Testament Scriptures, referring not only to an estate received by a child from its parents, but also to the land received by the children of Israel as a gift from Yahweh. And in the figurative and poetical sense, the expression is applied to the kingdom of God as represented in the consecrated lives of His followers. In a similar sense, the Psalmist is represented as speaking of the Lord as the portion of his inheritance.

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

The laws of inheritance among the Hebrews were very simple. Land might be mortgaged, but could not be alienated, Nu 36:6-9. See JUBILEE. The only permanent right to property was by heritage, or lineal succession. The eldest son had a double portion. Females had no territorial possession; but if a man left no sons, his daughters inherited-on condition of their marrying into a family within the tribe to which their father belonged. If a man had no children, his land passed to distant relatives, according to a law laid down in Nu 27:8-11. The Law of Moses rendered wills unnecessary; they were introduced, however, at a later period, Ga 3:15 Heb 9:17. Property was sometimes…

The phrase in the passage cited, literally rendered, would be "to exercise" or "put fellowship into activity." The koinonia subsisting among believers because of their inner communion with Christ places them and their gifts and possessions at the service of one another (see COMMUNION). They are enjoined. not to forget to communicate (Heb 13:16).

אֶ֫רֶץ (erets) is a feminine noun meaning 'earth' or 'land.' It encompasses various meanings, including the whole earth, specific territories like Canaan, and even inhabitants of the land. It can refer to soil, ground, or regions, and is used in phrases related to distance and the living. There is a note on the plural form אֲרָצוֹת, which mainly appears in later texts to denote multiple lands.
