Ezekiel
Chapter 46
1
Thus said the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah,
"The
gate of the inner court that looks 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. 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 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. 3
Likewise
the people of the land shall worship
at
the door of this gate
before
Jehovah/God in the Sabbaths and in the new moons. 4
And
the burnt offering
that
the prince shall offer unto Jehovah/God
in
the Sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish,
and
a ram without blemish. 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
an hin of oil to an ephah. 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. 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 attain unto,
and
an hin of oil to an ephah. 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 thereof. 9
But
when the people of the land shall come before Jehovah/God
in
the solemn feasts,
he
who enters in by the way of the north gate to worship
shall
go out by the way of the south gate;
and
he who enters 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 offerings
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 Jehovah/God,
one
shall then open him the gate who looks 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
You
shall daily prepare a burnt offering
unto
Jehovah/God of a lamb of the first year without blemish.
You shall prepare it every morning. 14
And
you shall 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
Jehovah/God. 15
Thus
shall they prepare the lamb,
and
the meat offering, and the oil,
every
morning for a continual burnt offering."
16
Thus said the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah,
"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 those who boil,
where
the ministers of the house
shall
boil the sacrifice of the people."
