46 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.
12
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.
