1 ¶ Thus saith the Lord
GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be
shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in
the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
2 And the prince shall
enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by
the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering
and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate:
then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.
3 Likewise the people
of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the
sabbaths and in the new moons.
4 And the burnt offering
that the prince shall offer unto the LORD in the sabbath day shall be six
lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.
5 And the meat offering
shall be an ephah for a ram, and the meat offering for the lambs as he
shall be able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
6 And in the day of
the new moon it shall be a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs,
and a ram: they shall be without blemish.
7 And he shall prepare
a meat offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for
the lambs according as his hand shall attain unto, and an hin of oil to
an ephah.
8 And when the prince
shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of that gate, and he
shall go forth by the way thereof. |

9 But
when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the solemn feasts,
he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out
by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south
gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by
the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth over against
it.
10 And the prince in
the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth,
shall go forth.
11 And in the feasts
and in the solemnities the meat offering shall be an ephah to a bullock,
and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, and an hin
of oil to an ephah. |

Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings
voluntarily unto the LORD, one shall then open him the gate that looketh
toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace
offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after
his going forth one shall shut the gate.
13 Thou shalt daily
prepare a burnt offering unto the LORD of a lamb of the first year without
blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning.
14 And thou shalt prepare
a meat offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the
third part of an hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a meat offering
continually by a perpetual ordinance unto the LORD.
15 Thus shall they prepare
the lamb, and the meat offering, and the oil, every morning for a continual
burnt offering. |

16 ¶ Thus
saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, the
inheritance thereof shall be his sons'; it shall be their possession by
inheritance.
17 But if he give a
gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to
the year of liberty; after it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance
shall be his sons' for them.
18 Moreover the prince
shall not take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them
out of their possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out of
his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his
possession. |

19 ¶ After
he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into
the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold,
there was a place on the two sides westward.
20 Then said he unto
me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering
and the sin offering, where they shall bake the meat offering; that they
bear them not out into the utter court, to sanctify the people.
21 Then he brought me
forth into the utter court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of
the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.
22 In the four corners
of the court there were courts joined of forty cubits long and thirty broad:
these four corners were of one measure.
23 And there was a row
of building round about in them, round about them four, and it was made
with boiling places under the rows round about.
24 Then said he unto
me, These are the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the
house shall boil the sacrifice of the people. |
