1“‘This is what <03541> the sovereign <03069> Lord <0136> says <0559>: The gate <08179> of the inner <06442> court <02691> that faces <06437> east <06921> will be <01961> closed <05462> six <08337> working <04639> days <03117>, but on the Sabbath <07676> day it will be opened <06605> and on the day <03117> of the new moon <02320> it will be opened <06605>.
2The prince <05387> will enter <0935> by way <01870> of the porch <0197> of the gate <08179> from the outside <02351>, and will stand <05975> by <05921> the doorpost <04201> of the gate <08179>. The priests <03548> will provide <06213> his burnt offering <05930> and his peace offerings <08002>, and he will bow down <07812> at <05921> the threshold <04670> of the gate <08179> and then go out <03318>. But the gate <08179> will not <03808> be closed <05462> until <05704> evening <06153>.
3The people <05971> of the land <0776> will bow down <07812> at the entrance <06607> of that gate <08179> before <06440> the Lord <03068> on the Sabbaths <07676> and on the new moons <02320>.
4The burnt offering <05930> which <0834> the prince <05387> will offer <07126> to the Lord <03068> on the Sabbath <07676> day <03117> will be six <08337> unblemished <08549> lambs <03532> and one unblemished <08549> ram <0352>.
5The grain offering <04503> will be an ephah <0374> with the ram <0352>, and the grain offering <04503> with the lambs <03532> will be as much as he is able <03027> to give <04991>, and a gallon <01969> of olive oil <08081> with an ephah <0374>.
6On the day <03117> of the new moon <02320> he will offer an unblemished <08549> young <01241> <01121> bull <06499>, and six <08337> lambs <03532> and a ram <0352>, all without blemish <08549>.
7He will provide <06213> a grain offering <04503>: an ephah <0374> with the bull <06499> and an ephah <0374> with the ram <0352>, and with the lambs <03532> as much as he wishes <05381>, and a gallon <01969> of olive oil <08081> with each ephah <0374> of grain.
8When the prince <05387> enters <0935>, he will come <0935> by way <01870> of the porch <0197> of the gate <08179> and will go out <03318> the same way <01870>.
9“‘When the people <05971> of the land <0776> come <0935> before <06440> the Lord <03068> at the appointed feasts <04150>, whoever enters <0935> by way <01870> of the north <06828> gate <08179> to worship <07812> will go out <03318> by way <01870> of the south <05045> gate <08179>; whoever enters <0935> by way <01870> of the south <05045> gate <08179> will go out <03318> by way <01870> of the north <06828> gate <08179>. No <03808> one will return <07725> by way <01870> of the gate <08179> they entered <0935> but <03588> will go out <03318> straight ahead <05226>.
10When they come <0935> in, the prince <05387> will come <0935> in with <08432> them, and when they go out <03318>, he will go out <03318>.
11“‘At the festivals <02282> and at the appointed feasts <04150> the grain offering <04503> will be <01961> an ephah <0374> with the bull <06499> and an ephah <0374> with the ram <0352>, and with the lambs <03532> as much as one is able <03027>, and a gallon <01969> of olive oil <08081> with each ephah <0374> of grain.
12When <03588> the prince <05387> provides <06213> a freewill offering <05071>, a burnt offering <05930>, or <0176> peace offerings <08002> as a voluntary offering <05071> to the Lord <03068>, the gate <08179> facing <06437> east <06921> will be opened <06605> for him, and he will <06213> provide his burnt offering <05930> and his peace offerings <08002> just as <0834> he did <06213> on the Sabbath <07676> <03117>. Then he will go out <03318>, and the gate <08179> will be closed <05462> after <0310> he goes out <03318>.
13“‘You will provide <06213> a lamb <03532> a year <08141> old <01121> without blemish <08549> for a burnt offering <05930> daily <03117> to the Lord <03068>; morning <01242> by morning <01242> he will provide <06213> it.
14And you will provide <06213> a grain offering <04503> with it morning <01242> by morning <01242>, a sixth <08345> of an ephah <0374>, and a third <07992> of a gallon <01969> of olive oil <08081> to moisten <07450> the choice flour <05560>, as a grain offering <04503> to the Lord <03068>; this is a perpetual <05769> statute <02708>.
15Thus they will provide <06213> the lamb <03532>, the grain offering <04503>, and the olive oil <08081> morning <01242> by morning <01242>, as a perpetual <08548> burnt offering <05930>.
16“‘This is what <03541> the sovereign <03068> Lord <0136> says <0559>: If <03588> the prince <05387> should give <05414> a gift <04979> to one <0376> of his sons <01121> as his inheritance <05159>, it <01931> will belong to his sons <01121>, it <01931> is <01961> their property <0272> by inheritance <05159>.
17But if <03588> he gives <05414> a gift <04979> from his inheritance <05159> to one <0259> of his servants <05650>, it will be <01961> his until <05704> the year <08141> of liberty <01865>; then it will revert <07725> to the prince <05387>. His inheritance <05159> will only <0389> remain <01961> with his sons <01121>.
18The prince <05387> will not <03808> take <03947> away any of the people’s <05971> inheritance <05159> by oppressively removing <03238> them from their property <0272>. He will give <05157> his sons <01121> an inheritance <05157> from his own possessions <0272> so that <04616> my people <05971> will not <03808> be scattered <06327>, each <0376> from his own property <0272>.’”
19Then he brought <0935> me through the entrance <03996>, which <0834> was at the side <03802> of the gate <08179>, into <0413> the holy <06944> chambers <03957> for <0413> the priests <03548> which faced <06437> north <06828>. There <08033> I saw <02009> a place <04725> at the extreme <03411> western <03220> end.
20He said <0559> to <0413> me, “This <02088> is the place <04725> where <08033> <0834> the priests <03548> will boil <01310> the guilt offering <0817> and the sin offering <02403>, and where <0834> they will bake <0644> the grain offering <04503>, so that they do not <01115> bring <03318> them out <03318> to <0413> the outer <02435> court <02691> to transmit holiness <06942> to the people <05971>.”
21Then he brought <03318> me out <03318> to <0413> the outer <02435> court <02691> and led <05674> me past <05674> the four <0702> corners <04740> of the court <02691>, and I noticed <02009> that in every corner <04740> of the court <02691> there was a court <02691>.
22In the four <0702> corners <04740> of the court <02691> were small <07000> courts <02691>, 70 feet <0705> in length <0753> and 52½ feet <07970> in width <07341>; the four <0702> were all the same <0259> size <04060>.
23There was a row <02905> of masonry around <05439> each <05439> of the four <0702> courts, and places for boiling <04018> offerings were made <06213> under <08478> the rows <02918> all around <05439>.
24Then he said <0559> to <0413> me, “These <0428> are the houses <01004> for boiling <01310>, where <08033> <0834> the ministers <08334> of the temple <01004> boil <01310> the sacrifices <02077> of the people <05971>.”
