¹This is what my Lord the Lord says: «The gate of the inner court facing east will be shut for the six working days, then on the Sabbath day it will be opened, and on the day of the new moon it will be opened. ²And the prince will come through the portico of the outer gate, and he will stand at the gatepost, and the priests will offer his burnt offering and his peace-offerings, and he will worship at the threshold of the gate, then he will go out. But the gate will not be shut until the evening. ³And the people of the land will worship at the entrance of that gate on Sabbaths and on days of the new moon, before the Lord. ⁴And the burnt offering which the prince shall offer to the Lord on the day of the Sabbath is six perfect lambs and a perfect ram, ⁵and a meal-offering of an ephah per ram, and with the lambs he will offer a meal-offering as a gift according to his means, and a hin of oil per ephah. ⁶And on the day of the new moon he will offer a perfect bull-calf of the oxen and six lambs and a ram. They shall be perfect. ⁷And he will offer an ephah per bull and an ephah per ram, as a meal-offering, and for the lambs according to his means, and a hin of oil per ephah. ⁸When the prince comes, he shall come through the portico of the gate, and he shall go out through it. ⁹But when the people of the land come before the Lord on the festival days, he who comes in through the northern gate to worship shall go out through the southern gate, and he who comes in through the southern gate shall go out through the northern gate. He shall not return through the gate by which he came, for they shall leave opposite it. ¹⁰And the prince who is among them will go in when they go in, and when they go out, he shall go out with them. ¹¹And at festivals and appointed times, the meal-offering will consist of an ephah per bull and an ephah per ram, and for the lambs, a gift according to his means, and oil – a hin per ephah. ¹²And when the prince makes a voluntary burnt offering or voluntary peace-offerings to the Lord, and he has opened the east-facing gate for himself, he shall make his burnt offering and his peace-offerings in the same way as when he makes them on the Sabbath day, and he will go out and close the gate after he has gone out. ¹³And you shall offer a perfect one-year-old lamb per day as a burnt offering to the Lord. You shall offer it every morning. ¹⁴And you shall make a meal-offering with it every morning, a sixth of an ephah, and a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour. It is a meal-offering to the Lord; they are age-abiding statutes continually. ¹⁵So they shall offer the lamb, and the meal-offering, and the oil, every morning as a continual burnt offering.» ¹⁶This is what my Lord the Lord says: «If the prince gives a gift to any of his sons, it will be the inheritance of his sons. It will be their territory by inheritance. ¹⁷But if he gives a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, it will be his until the year of liberty when it returns to the prince. But when his inheritance is given to his sons, it shall be theirs. ¹⁸Now the prince shall not take any of the people's inheritance, in dispossessing them of their territory. He may give his sons some of his territory as an inheritance, so that my people are not scattered – each from his territory.» ’ ” ¹⁹Then he brought me through the entrance which was at the side of the gate to the holy annexes for the priests, which face north, and what I saw was a place there in the furthest part to the west. ²⁰And he said to me, “This is the place where the priests cook the guilt-offering and the sin-offering, and where they bake the meal-offering, so that they do not bring them out into the outer court, so sanctifying the people.” ²¹Then he brought me out to the outer court, and he brought me across to the four corners of the court. And what I saw was a court in each corner of the court. ²²In the four corners of the court were adjoining courts forty cubits long and thirty cubits wide. All four of them, set in the corners, had the same dimensions. ²³And there was a circle of buildings in them, all around in the four of them, and it was constructed with kitchens under the ring of buildings. ²⁴Then he said to me, “These constitute the cooks' house where the servants of the house cook the sacrifice for the people.”
