1 "‘The Lord Yahweh says: "The gate of the inner court that looks toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the Sabbath day it shall be opened, and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened. 2 The prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate outside, 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 out, but the gate shall not be shut until the evening. 3 The people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate before Yahweh on the Sabbaths and on the new moons. 4 The burnt offering that the prince shall offer to Yahweh shall be on the Sabbath day, six lambs without defect and a ram without defect; 5 and the meal offering shall be an ephah for the ram, and the meal offering for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah. 6 On the day of the new moon it shall be a young bull without defect, six lambs, and a ram. They shall be without defect. 7 He shall prepare a meal offering: an ephah for the bull, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according as he is able, and a hin of oil to an ephah. 8 When the prince enters, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go out by its way.

9 "‘"But when the people of the land come before Yahweh in the appointed feasts, he who enters by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he who enters by the way of the south gate shall go out by the way of the north gate. He shall not return by the way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go out straight before him. 10 The prince shall go in with them when they go in. When they go out, he shall go out.

11 "‘"In the feasts and in the appointed holidays, the meal offering shall be an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah. 12 When the prince prepares a free will offering, a burnt offering or peace offerings as a free will offering to Yahweh, one shall open for him the gate that looks toward the east; and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he does on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out; and after his going out one shall shut the gate.

13 "‘"You shall prepare a lamb a year old without defect for a burnt offering to Yahweh daily. Morning by morning you shall prepare it. 14 You shall prepare a meal offering with it morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour; a meal offering to Yahweh continually by a perpetual ordinance. 15 Thus they shall prepare the lamb, the meal offering, and the oil, morning by morning, for a continual burnt offering."

16 "‘The Lord Yahweh says: "If the prince gives a gift to any of his sons, it is his inheritance. It shall belong to his sons. It is their possession by inheritance. 17 But if he gives of his inheritance a gift to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince; but as for his inheritance, it shall be for his sons. 18 Moreover the prince shall not take of the people’s inheritance, to thrust them out of their possession. He shall give inheritance to his sons out of his own possession, that my people not each be scattered from his possession."’"

19 Then he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy rooms for the priests, which looked toward the north. Behold, there was a place on the back part westward. 20 He said to me, "This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the meal offering, that they not bring them out into the outer court, to sanctify the people."

21 Then he brought me out into the outer 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 enclosed, forty cubits long and thirty wide. These four in the corners were the same size. 23 There was a wall around in them, around the four, and boiling places were made under the walls all around. 24 Then he said to me, "These are the boiling houses, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people."

1 主耶和华这样说: "内院朝东的门, 在工作的六天里, 必须关闭, 在安息日却要打开, 在月朔之日也要打开。

2 君王要从外面经这门的门廊进入, 站在门框旁边。祭司们要为他预备燔祭和平安祭。他要在门槛那里敬拜, 然后出去。这门不可关闭, 直到晚上。

3 每逢安息日和月朔, 国中的人民要在这门口, 在耶和华面前敬拜。

4 君王在安息日所献给耶和华的燔祭, 是六只无残疾的羊羔和一只无残疾的公绵羊。

5 所献的素祭是这样: 公绵羊要与十七公升细面一同献上, 他要按着自己的能力, 随同那些羊羔献上若干份细面, 但每份细面加油三公升。

6 他要在月朔献一头无残疾的公牛犊、六只羊羔和一只公绵羊, 都是无残疾的。

7 他要预备素祭, 公牛要与十七公升细面一同献上, 公绵羊要与十七公升细面一同献上, 他要按着自己的能力, 随同那些羊羔献上若干份细面, 但每份细面加油三公升。

8 君王进入的时候, 要经这门的门廊进入, 也要从原路出去。

9 "在各指定的节日中, 国中的人民来朝见耶和华的时候, 那从北门进来敬拜的, 要从南门出去; 那从南门进来的, 要从北门出去; 谁也不可从他进来的门回去, 却要从对面的门出去。

10 君王要在人民当中, 人民进入的时候, 他也进入; 人民出去的时候, 他也出去。

11 在节期和指定的节日中, 所献的素祭是这样: 每一头公牛要与十七公升细面一同献上, 每一只公绵羊要与十七公升细面一同献上, 每一只羊羔要按着他的能力, 与细面一同献上, 每份十七公升的细面加油三公升。

12 君王把甘心献的燔祭或平安祭献给耶和华的时候, 朝东的门要为他打开。他就献上他的燔祭和平安祭, 正如他在安息日所献上的一样。他献完了就出去; 他出去以后, 门就要关上。

13 "每天你要预备一只一岁无残疾的羊羔, 献给耶和华作燔祭, 每天早晨都要献上。

14 每天早晨也要预备同献的素祭, 细面两公斤, 并调和细面所用的油一公升, 作常献给耶和华的素祭, 这是永远的定例。

15 所以每天早晨要这样预备羊羔、素祭和油, 作常献的燔祭。"

16 主耶和华这样说: "君王如果把自己一部分的产业作礼物赐给他的一个儿子, 这产业就要归给他的子孙; 那是他们所承受的基业。

17 君王如把自己的一部分产业作礼物赐给他的一个臣仆, 这产业就要归给那臣仆直到自由之年, 然后要归还给君王。君王的产业, 至终只可归儿子所有。

18 君王不可夺取人民的产业, 把他们赶离他们的基业。他要从自己的基业中把产业赐给自己的儿子, 免得我的子民因被赶离自己的基业而四散。"

19 那带领我的, 领我从门旁的入口, 进到那些朝向北面, 供祭司使用, 圣洁的房子。在西边的尽头有一块地方。

20 他对我说: "这就是祭司煮赎愆祭牲和赎罪祭牲, 以及烤素祭的地方, 免得祭物带出外院, 使人民成圣。"

21 他又领我出到外院, 使我经过院子的四个角落; 院子的每个角落都有一个小院子。

22 院子四个角落的小("小"字原文不详)院子, 每个长二十公尺, 宽十五公尺; 四个角落的院子, 大小都是一样。

23 在四个小院子里面, 每个四边都有一排石墙; 在这四排石墙下面, 都有炉灶。

24 他对我说: "这些都是厨房, 在圣殿里供职的要在这里煮人民的祭物。"
