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 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 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. |
