1 ` Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The gate of the inner court that is looking eastward is shut the six days of work, and on the day of rest it is opened, and in the day of the new moon it is opened;

‘Thus says the Lord God, “The gate of the inner court facing east shall be shut the six working days; but it shall be opened on the sabbath day and opened on the day of the new moon.

2 a nd come in hath the prince the way of the porch of the gate at the outside, and he hath stood by the post of the gate, and the priests have made his burnt-offering, and his peace-offerings, and he hath bowed himself by the opening of the gate, and hath gone forth, and the gate is not shut till the evening.

The prince shall enter by way of the porch of the gate from outside and stand by the post of the gate. Then the priests shall provide his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate and then go out; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.

3 A nd bowed themselves have the people of the land at the opening of that gate, on sabbaths, and on new moons, before Jehovah.

The people of the land shall also worship at the doorway of that gate before the Lord on the sabbaths and on the new moons.

4 ` And the burnt-offering that the prince bringeth near to Jehovah on the day of rest six lambs, perfect ones, and a ram, a perfect one.

The burnt offering which the prince shall offer to the Lord on the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish;

5 A nd the present an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs a present, the gift of his hand, and of oil a hin for an ephah.

and the grain offering shall be an ephah with the ram, and the grain offering with the lambs as much as he is able to give, and a hin of oil with an ephah.

6 A nd on the day of the new moon a bullock, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and six lambs and a ram, they are perfect.

On the day of the new moon he shall offer a young bull without blemish, also six lambs and a ram, which shall be without blemish.

7 A nd with an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, he prepareth a present, and for the lambs as his hand attaineth, and of oil a hin for an ephah.

And he shall provide a grain offering, an ephah with the bull and an ephah with the ram, and with the lambs as much as he is able, and a hin of oil with an ephah.

8 ` And in the coming in of the prince, the way of the porch of the gate he cometh in, and by its way he goeth out.

When the prince enters, he shall go in by way of the porch of the gate and go out by the same way.

9 A nd in the coming in of the people of the land before Jehovah at appointed times, he who hath come in the way of the north gate to bow himself, goeth out the way of the south gate, and he who hath come in the way of the south gate, goeth out by the way of the north gate: he doth not turn back the way of the gate by which he came in, but over-against it he goeth out.

But when the people of the land come before the Lord at the appointed feasts, he who enters by way of the north gate to worship shall go out by way of the south gate. And he who enters by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the north gate. No one shall return by way of the gate by which he entered but shall go straight out.

10 A nd the prince in their midst in their coming in cometh in, and in their going out he goeth out.

When they go in, the prince shall go in among them; and when they go out, he shall go out.

11 ` And in feasts, and in appointed times, the present is an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for lambs the gift of his hand, and of oil a hin for an ephah.

“At the festivals and the appointed feasts the grain offering shall be an ephah with a bull and an ephah with a ram, and with the lambs as much as one is able to give, and a hin of oil with an ephah.

12 A nd when the prince maketh a free-will burnt-offering, or free-will peace-offerings, to Jehovah, then he hath opened for himself the gate that is looking eastward, and he hath made his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings as he doth in the day of rest, and he hath gone out, and he hath shut the gate after his going out.

When the prince provides a freewill offering, a burnt offering, or peace offerings as a freewill offering to the Lord, the gate facing east shall be opened for him. And he shall provide his burnt offering and his peace offerings as he does on the sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and the gate shall be shut after he goes out.

13 ` And a lamb, son of a year, a perfect one, thou dost make a burnt-offering daily to Jehovah; morning by morning thou dost make it.

“And you shall provide a lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering to the Lord daily; morning by morning you shall provide it.

14 A nd a present thou dost make for it morning by morning, a sixth part of the ephah, and of oil a third part of the hin, to temper with the fine flour, a present to Jehovah, by a statute age-during -- continually;

Also you shall provide a grain offering with it morning by morning, a sixth of an ephah and a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour, a grain offering to the Lord continually by a perpetual ordinance.

15 a nd prepare ye the lamb, and the present, and the oil, morning by morning, a continual burnt-offering.

Thus they shall provide the lamb, the grain offering and the oil, morning by morning, for a continual burnt offering.”

16 ` Thus said the Lord Jehovah: When the prince giveth a gift to any of his sons, his inheritance it, to his sons it; their possession it by inheritance.

‘Thus says the Lord God, “If the prince gives a gift out of his inheritance to any of his sons, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance.

17 A nd when he giveth a gift out of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it hath been to him till the year of freedom, and it hath turned back to the prince, only the inheritance of his sons is theirs.

But if he gives a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince. His inheritance shall be only his sons’; it shall belong to them.

18 A nd the prince doth not take of the inheritance of the people to oppress them, out of their possession, out of his own possession he doth cause his sons to inherit, so that My people are not scattered each from his possession.'

The prince shall not take from the people’s inheritance, thrusting them out of their possession; he shall give his sons inheritance from his own possession so that My people will not be scattered, anyone from his possession.”’” The Boiling Places

19 A nd he bringeth me in through the entrance that by the side of the gate, unto the holy chambers, unto the priests, that are looking northward, and lo, there a place in their two sides westward.

Then he brought me through the entrance, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which faced north; and behold, there was a place at the extreme rear toward the west.

20 A nd he saith unto me, `This the place where the priests do boil the guilt-offering and the sin-offering, where they bake the present, so as not to bring out unto the outer court, to sanctify the people.'

He said to me, “This is the place where the priests shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering and where they shall bake the grain offering, in order that they may not bring them out into the outer court to transmit holiness to the people.”

21 A nd he bringeth me out unto the outer court, and causeth me to pass over unto the four corners of the court, and lo, a court in a corner of the court, a court in a corner of the corner.

Then he brought me out into the outer court and led me across to the four corners of the court; and behold, in every corner of the court there was a small court.

22 I n the four corners of the court perfume courts, forty long, and thirty broad, one measure to the four corners.

In the four corners of the court there were enclosed courts, forty cubits long and thirty wide; these four in the corners were the same size.

23 A nd a row round about in them, round about to them four, and made with boilers under the rows round about.

There was a row of masonry round about in them, around the four of them, and boiling places were made under the rows round about.

24 A nd he saith unto me, `These the houses of those boiling where the ministrants of the house boil the sacrifice of the people.'

Then he said to me, “These are the boiling places where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifices of the people.”
