1 Thus says the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looks toward the east will be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it will be opened, and in the day of the new moon it will be opened.
2 And the prince will enter by the way of the porch of [that] gate without, and will stand by the post of the gate, and the priests will prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he will worship at the threshold of the gate: then he will go forth; but the gate will not be shut until the evening.
3 Likewise the people of the land will worship at the door of this gate before the LORD [Yahweh] in the sabbaths and in the new moons.
4 And the burnt offering that the prince will offer to the LORD [Yahweh] in the sabbath day [will be] six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.
5 And the meat offering [will be] an ephah for a ram, and the meat offering for the lambs as he will be able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
6 And in the day of the new moon [it will be] a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they will be without blemish.
7 And he will prepare a meat offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as his hand will attain to, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
8 And when the prince will enter, he will go in by the way of the porch of [that] gate, and he will go forth by the way of it.
9 But when the people of the land will come before the LORD [Yahweh] in the solemn feasts, he that enters in by the way of the north gate to worship will go out by the way of the south gate; and he that enters by the way of the south gate will go forth by the way of the north gate: he will not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but will go forth over against it.
10 And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, will go in; and when they go forth, will go forth.
11 And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meat offering will be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
12 Now when the prince will prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily to the LORD [Yahweh], [one] will then open him the gate that looks toward the east, and he will prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he will go forth; and after his going forth [one] will shut the gate.
13 You will daily prepare a burnt offering to the LORD [Yahweh] [of] a lamb of the first year without blemish: you will prepare it every morning.
14 And you will prepare a meat offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of a hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a perpetual ordinance to the LORD [Yahweh].
15 Thus will they prepare the lamb, and the meat offering, and the oil, every morning [for] a continual burnt offering.
16 Thus says the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift to any of his sons, the inheritance of it will be his sons'; it [will be] their possession by inheritance.
17 But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it will be his to the year of liberty; after it will return to the prince: but his inheritance will be his sons' for them.
18 Moreover the prince will not take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; [but] he will 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 to me, This [is] the place where the priests will boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they will 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 to me, These [are] the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the house will boil the sacrifice of the people.
