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 Thus hath the Lord GOD said: The gate of the inner court that looks toward the east shall be shut the six working days; and the day of the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the same manner it shall be opened the day of the new moon.

2 And the prince shall enter from outside by the way of the porch of [that] gate and shall stand by the threshold of the gate (while the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings), and he shall worship at the entrance 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 day of the sabbath [shall be] six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.

5 And the present [shall be] an ephah [of fine flour] for each ram and the present for each lamb as he shall be able to give, and a hin of oil for each ephah.

6 But 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 present of an ephah [of fine flour] with the calf, and [another] ephah with each ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall attain unto, and a hin of oil with each 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 [same] way thereof.

9 But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the solemn feasts, he that enters in by the way of the north gate [to worship] shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that enters 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 by which he came in, but shall go forth opposite it.

10 And the prince, when they go in, he shall go in, in the midst of them; and when they go forth, he shall go forth.

11 And in the feasts and in the solemnities the present shall be an ephah [of fine flour] with each calf, and another ephah with [each] ram, and with the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil with [each] ephah.

12 Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto the LORD, they shall open him the gate that looks toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he does on the day of the Sabbath; then he shall go forth; and after his going forth they 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 each morning.

14 And thou shalt prepare a present with it each morning, the sixth part of an ephah [of fine flour], and the third part of a hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; [this shall be] a present for the LORD continually by [a] perpetual ordinance.

15 Thus shall they prepare the lamb and the present and the oil each morning [for] a continual burnt offering.

16 Thus hath the Lord GOD said: If the prince gives a gift of his inheritance unto any of his sons, it [shall be] theirs; the possession thereof [shall be] by inheritance.

17 But if he gives a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his until the year of liberty; when it shall return to the prince; but his inheritance shall be his sons' for them.

18 And the prince shall take nothing from the people's inheritance, that he not defraud them of their possession; [but] he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession that my people not be scattered each one 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 he said unto me, This [is] the place where the priests shall boil that [which was offered as] guilt and that [which was offered as] sin, where they shall bake the present; that they not bear [them] out into the outer court, to sanctify the people.

21 Then he brought me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in each corner of the court [there was] a patio.

22 In the four corners of the court [there were] patios joined of forty [cubits] long and thirty broad; these four corners [were] of one measure.

23 And [there was] a wall round about in them, round about those four, and [it was] made with fire places all around the palaces.

24 Then said he unto me, These [are] the quarters of the cooks, where the servers of the house shall cook the sacrifice of the people.:
