1Thus saith the Lord God; 1The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east 2shall be shut the 3six working days; but 4on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
2And the 1prince shall enter by the 2way of the porch of that gate without, and shall 3stand by the post of the gate, and the 4priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall 5worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall 6not be shut until the evening.
31Likewise the people of the land shall worship at 2the door of this gate before the Lord in the sabbaths and in the new moons.
4And the 1burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto the Lord in the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.
5And the 1meat offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and the meat offering for the lambs aas he shall be able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
6And 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.
7And he shall prepare a meat offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall attain unto, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
8And when the prince shall enter, 1he shall go in by the way of the porch of that gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof.
9¶ But when the people of the land 1shall come before the Lord in the solemn feasts, 2he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth 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 whereby he came in, but shall go forth over against it.
101And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth.
111And in the feasts and in the solemnities the 2meat offering shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
12Now when the prince shall prepare 1a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto the Lord, one2shall then open him the gate that looketh toward the east, and 3he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate.
13Thou shalt daily 1prepare a burnt offering unto the Lordof a lamb aof the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it bevery morning.
14And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning, the 1sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a perpetual ordinance unto the Lord.
15Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat offering, and the oil, 1every morning for a continual burnt offering.
16¶ Thus saith the Lord God; If the prince 1give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons'; 2it shall be their possession by inheritance.
17But if he give a gift 1of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his 2to the year of liberty; after it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons' for them.
18Moreover 1the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; 2but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not 3scattered every man from his possession.
19¶ After he brought me through the entry, 1which 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.
20Then said he unto me, 1This is the place where the priests shall boil 2the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall 3bake the meat offering; that they bear them not out into the utter court, 4to sanctify the people.
21Then he brought me forth into the utter court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, ain every corner of the court there was a court.
22In the four corners of the court there were courts ajoined of forty cubits long and thirty broad: these four bcorners were of one measure.
23And 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.
24Then said he unto me, These are the places of them that 1boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the 2sacrifice of the people.
