Book 14 : NEVIIM - EZEKIEL - Chapter 046
46:001
Thus saith the L-rd GOD: The gate of the inner court that
looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath
day it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened
46:002
And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the
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
46:003
Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door
of that gate before HaShem in the sabbaths and in the new moons
46:004
And the burnt-offering that the prince shall offer unto
HaShem shall be in the sabbath day six lambs without blemish and a ram without
blemish
46:005
and the meal-offering shall be an ephah for the ram, and
the meal-offering for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an
ephah
46:006
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
46:007
and he shall prepare a meal-offering, an ephah for the
bullock, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according as his means
suffice, and a hin of oil to an ephah
46:008
And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way
of the porch of the gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof
46:009
But when the people of the land shall come before HaShem in
the appointed seasons, he that entereth by the way of the north gate to worship
shall go forth 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 straight before
him
46:010
And the prince, when they go in, shall go in in the midst
of them; and when they go forth, they shall go forth together
46:011
And in the feasts and in the appointed seasons the
meal-offering shall be an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for
the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah
46:012
And when the prince shall prepare a freewill-offering, a
burnt-offering or peace-offerings as a freewill-offering unto HaShem, one shall
open for him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his
burnt-offering and his peace-offerings, as he doth on the sabbath day; then he
shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate
46:013
And thou shalt prepare a lamb of the first year without
blemish for a burnt-offering unto HaShem daily; morning by morning shalt thou
prepare it
46:014
And thou shalt prepare a meal-offering with it morning by
morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of a hin of oil, to
moisten the fine flour: a meal-offering unto HaShem continually by a perpetual
ordinance
46:015
Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meal-offering,
and the oil, morning by morning, for a continual burnt-offering
46:016
Thus saith the L-rd GOD: If the prince give a gift unto
any of his sons, it is his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons; it is their
possession by inheritance
46:017
But if he give of his inheritance a gift to one of his
servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall return to the
prince; but as for his inheritance, it shall be for his sons
46:018
Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's
inheritance, to thrust them wrongfully out of their possession; he shall give
inheritance to his sons out of his own possession; that My people be not
scattered every man from his possession.
46:019
Then he brought me through the entry, which was at the
side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which looked toward
the north; and, behold, there was a place on the hinder part westward
46:020
And he said unto me: 'This is the place where the priests
shall boil the guilt-offering and the sin-offering, where they shall bake the
meal-offering; that they bring them not forth into the outer court, to sanctify
the people.
46:021
Then he brought me forth into the outer 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
46:022
In the four corners of the court there were courts
inclosed, forty cubits long and thirty broad; these four in the corners were of
one measure
46:023
And there was a row of masonry round about in them, round
about the four, and it was made with boiling-places under the rows round about
46:024
Then said he unto me: 'These are the boiling-places, where
the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifices of the people.
