Thus saith
the Lord God; The gate of the inner court that
looketh toward 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.
02 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 priests shall
prepare his burnt offering and his peace
offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold
of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate
shall not be shut until the evening.
03 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.
04 And the burnt offering that the prince shall
offer unto the Lord in the sabbath day shall be
six lambs without blemish, and a ram without
blemish.
05 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 an hin of oil to an
ephah.
06 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.
07 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 attain
unto, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
08 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 thereof.
09 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
whereby he came in, but shall go forth over
against it.
10 And the prince in the midst of them, when they
go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall
go forth.
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 an hin of oil to an ephah.
12 Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary
burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily
unto the Lord, one shall then open him the gate
that looketh toward 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.

13 Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto
the Lord of a lamb of the first year without
blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning.
14 And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it
every morning, the sixth 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.
15 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat
offering, and the oil, every morning for a
continual burnt offering.
16 Thus saith the Lord God; If the prince give a
gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance
thereof shall be his sons'; it shall be their
possession by inheritance.
17 But if he give a gift of his inheritance to
one of his servants, then it shall be his to the
year of liberty; after it shall return to the
prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons'
for them.
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.
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 unto 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
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 unto me, These are the places of
them that boil, where the ministers of the house
shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
