Ezekiel 46
Ordinances for the prince in his worship, and for the people. The courts for boiling and baking.
1So says the Lord Jehovah: The gate of the inner court that faces the east shall be shut the six days of work. But on the sabbath day it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
2And the prince shall enter by way of the porch of the gate from outside and shall stand by the gatepost. And the priests have prepared his burnt offering and his peace offerings. And he shall worship at the threshold of the gate. And he shall go out, but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.
3And the people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, before Jehovah.
4And the burnt offering that the prince shall bring near to Jehovah on the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.
5And the food offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and a food offering for the lambs, a gift of his hand; and a hin of oil to an ephah.
6And in the day of the new moon: a bull without blemish, a son of the herd, and six lambs, and a ram, they shall be without blemish,
7and an ephah for a bull and an ephah for a ram he shall prepare as a food offering; and for the lambs as his hand can reach; and a hin of oil to an ephah.
8And when the prince shall come in, he comes in by way of the porch of the gate, and by its way he shall go out.
9But when the people of the land come before Jehovah at the appointed feasts, he who comes in by way of the north gate to worship shall go out by way of the south gate. And he who comes in by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the north gate. He shall not go out by way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go out opposite it.
10And the prince in their midst in their going in, in their going in shall go in, and he shall go out in their going out.
11And in the feasts, and in the appointed feasts, the food offering shall be an ephah to a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and to the lambs a gift of his hand; and a hin of oil to an ephah.
12And when the prince makes a free offering, a burnt offering, or peace offerings as a free offering to Jehovah, then one shall open to him the gate facing east. And he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings as he does on the sabbath day. And he shall go out, and the gate is shut after he goes out.
13And you shall prepare a burnt offering daily to Jehovah, a lamb without blemish, a son of a year; from dawn to dawn you shall prepare it.
14And you shall prepare a food offering for it from dawn to dawn, a sixth of an ephah, and a third of a hin of oil to wet the fine flour, a food offering to Jehovah, perfect statutes forever.
15So they shall prepare the lamb, and the food offering, and the oil, from dawn to dawn as a burnt offering continually.
16So says the Lord Jehovah: If the prince gives a gift to a man, to a son of his inheritance, it shall be to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance.
17But if he gives it as a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his until the year of liberty, then it shall return to the prince. His inheritance is only his sons'; it shall be theirs.
18And the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance, oppressing them from their possession. He shall bequeath to his sons from his possession, so that My people shall not be dispersed, each man from his possession.
19And He brought me through the entry which was at the side of the gate, into the holy rooms for the priests, facing north. And, behold, there was a place on the two sides westward.
20And He said to me, This is the place, there where the priests shall boil the guilt offering, and the sin offering, where they shall bake the food offering, so as not to bring them out to the outer court to sanctify the people.
21And He made me go out to the outer court. And He made me go out by the four corners of the court. And, behold, a court in each corner of the court, a court in each corner of the court.
22In the four corners of the court were enclosed courts forty cubits long and thirty wide, one measure to the four of them, being made in corners.
23And a row was round about in them, round about the four of them, and boiling places were made under the rows round about.
24And He said to me, These are the houses of those who boil, there where those ministering to the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
