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."
