46:1 Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that
looketh towards the east shall be shut the six working days;
but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the
new moon it shall be opened.
46:2 And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of
[that] gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate,
and the priest shall prepare his burnt-offering and his
peace-offerings, and he shall worship at the threshhold of the
gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut
until the evening.
46:3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door
of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new
moons.
46:4 And the burnt-offering that the prince shall offer to the
LORD in the sabbath day [shall be] six lambs without blemish,
and a ram without blemish.
46:5 And the meat-offering [shall be] an ephah for a ram, and
the meat-offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give,
and a hin of oil to an ephah.
46:6 And 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.
46:7 And 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 be able, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
46:8 And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way
of the porch of [that] gate, and he shall go forth by the way
of it.
46:9 But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD
in the solemn feasts, he 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 by which he came in, but shall go forth
over against it.
46:10 And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in,
shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth.
46:11 And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meat-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 a hin of oil to an ephah.
46:12 Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary
burnt-offering or peace-offerings voluntarily to the LORD,
[one] shall then open to him the gate that looketh towards the
east, and he 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.
46:13 Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt-offering to the LORD [of]
a lamb of the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it
every morning.
46:14 And thou shalt 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.
46:15 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat-offering,
and the oil, every morning [for] a continual burnt-offering.
46:16 Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince shall give a gift
to any of his sons, the inheritance of it shall be to his sons;
it [shall be] their possession by inheritance.
46:17 But if he shall give a gift of his inheritance to one of
his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty;
afterward it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance
shall be to his sons for them.
46:18 Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's
inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their
possession; [but] he shall give his sons' inheritance out of
his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man
from his possession.
46:19 Afterward he brought me through the entry, which [was] at
the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests,
which looked towards the north: and behold, there [was] a place
on the two sides westward.
46:20 Then said he to me, This [is] the place where the priests
shall boil the trespass-offering and the sin-offering, where
they shall bake the meat-offering; that they bear [them] not
out into the outer court, to sanctify the people.
46:21 Then he brought me forth into the outer 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.
46:22 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.
46:23 And [there was] a row [of building] around in them, around
them four, and [it was] made with boiling places under the rows
around.
46:24 Then said he to me, These [are] the places of them that
boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice
of the people.
