¶ Thus saith¹ the Lord GOD; The gate² of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut³ the six working⁴ days; but on the sabbath⁵ it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch⁶ of that gate without, and shall stand by the post⁷ of the gate, and the priests⁸ shall prepare⁹ his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship¹⁰ at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate¹¹ shall not be shut until the evening.

¹²Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.

And the burnt¹³ offering that the prince shall offer unto the LORD in the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.

And the meat¹⁴ offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and the meat offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give¹⁵, and an hin of oil to an ephah.

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.

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.

And when the prince shall enter, he shall go¹⁶ in by the way of the porch of that gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof.

But when the people¹⁷ of the land shall come before¹⁸ the LORD in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in¹⁹ 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.

¶²⁰And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth.

And in the feasts²¹ and in the solemnities the meat²² 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.

Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary²³ burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto the LORD, one shall then open him²⁴ the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did²⁵ on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate.

Thou shalt daily²⁶ prepare a burnt offering unto the LORD of a lamb of the first year²⁷ without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning²⁸.

And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning, the sixth²⁹ 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.

Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat offering, and the oil, every morning for a continual³⁰ burnt offering.

¶ Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince³¹ give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons'; it shall be their possession by inheritance.

But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year³² of liberty; after it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons' for them.

Moreover the prince³³ shall not take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust³⁴ them out of their possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out³⁵ of his own possession: that my people³⁶ be not scattered every man from his possession.

¶ After he brought me through the entry³⁷, 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 place³⁸ on the two sides westward.

¶ Then said he unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass³⁹ offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake the meat⁴⁰ offering; that they bear them not out into the utter court, to sanctify⁴¹ the people.

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 court⁴².

In the four corners of the court there were courts⁴³ joined⁴⁴ of forty cubits long and thirty broad: these four corners were of one measure.

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.

⁴⁵Then 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.
