(King James Version)
Ezekiel:
Chapter 46
1. 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.
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 the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.
4. 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 with
blemish.
5. And the meat offering shall be an e-phah 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.
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 e-phah 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 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 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 e-phah 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 e-phah, 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 cause d 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.
