and one sheep from _each_ flock of two hundred from the watering places of Israel--for a grain offering, for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make atonement for them," declares Lord Yahweh.

And it shall be the prince's part _to provide_ the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the drink offerings, at the feasts, on the new moons, and on the sabbaths, at all the appointed times of the house of Israel; he shall provide the sin offering, the grain offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel."

The priest shall take some of the blood from the sin offering and put _it_ on the door posts of the house, on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the posts of the gate of the inner court.

|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 20
