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 gateway of the inner court that faces toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the Sabbath it shall be opened, and on the day of the New Moon it shall be opened.

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 vestibule of the gateway from the outside, and stand by the gatepost. The priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings. He shall worship at the threshold of the gate. Then he shall go out, but the gate shall not be shut until 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.

Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the entrance to this gateway before the Lord on the Sabbaths and 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 that the prince offers 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 one ephah for a ram, and the grain offering for the lambs, as much as he wants to give, as well as a hin of oil with every 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 it shall be a young bull without blemish, six lambs, and a ram; they 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.

He shall prepare a grain offering of an ephah for a bull, an ephah for a ram, as much as he wants to give for the lambs, and a hin of oil with every 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 vestibule of the gateway, and go out 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 on the appointed feast days, whoever enters by way of the north gate to worship shall go out by way of the south gate; and whoever enters by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the north gate. He shall not return by way of the gate through which he came, but shall go out through the opposite gate.

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

The prince shall then be in their midst. When they go in, he shall go in; 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 feast days the grain offering shall be an ephah for a bull, an ephah for a ram, as much as he wants to give for the lambs, and a hin of oil with every 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.

“Now when the prince makes a voluntary burnt offering or voluntary peace offering to the Lord, the gate that faces toward the east shall then be opened for him; and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings as he did on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and after he goes out the gate shall be shut.

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.

“You shall daily make a burnt offering to the Lord of a lamb of the first year without blemish; you shall prepare it every morning.

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;

And you shall prepare a grain offering with it every morning, a sixth of an ephah, and a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour. This grain offering is a perpetual ordinance, to be made regularly to the Lord.

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

Thus they shall prepare the lamb, the grain offering, and the oil, as a regular burnt offering every morning.” The Prince and Inheritance Laws

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 of some 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 of some of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until the year of liberty, after which it shall return to the prince. But his inheritance shall belong to his sons; it shall become theirs.

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.'

Moreover the prince shall not take any of the people’s inheritance by evicting them from their property; he shall provide an inheritance for his sons from his own property, so that none of My people may be scattered from his property.”’” How the Offerings Were Prepared

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.

Now he brought me through the entrance, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests which face toward the north; and there a place was situated at their extreme western end.

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.'

And 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 grain offering, so that they do not bring them out into the outer court to sanctify 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 caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and in fact, in every corner of the court there was another 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 were enclosed courts, forty cubits long and thirty wide; all four 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 building stones all around in them, all around the four of them; and cooking hearths were made under the rows of stones all around.

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.'

And he said to me, “These are the kitchens where the ministers of the temple shall boil the sacrifices of the people.”
