## The Prince, Feast, and Offerings
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
'Thus says Lord Yahweh, "The gate of the inner court facing east shall be shut the six working days; but it shall be opened on the sabbath day and opened on the day of the new moon.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
Then the prince shall enter by way of the porch of the gate from outside and stand by the post of the gate. Then the priests shall provide his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate and then go out; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
And the people of the land shall also worship at the entrance of that gate before Yahweh on the sabbaths and on the new moons.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
Now the burnt offering which the prince shall bring near to Yahweh on the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
and the grain offering shall be an ephah with the ram, and the grain offering with the lambs shall be a gift from his hand, as well as a hin of oil with an ephah.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
And on the day of the new moon _he shall offer_ a bull from the herd without blemish, also six lambs and a ram, _which_ shall be without blemish.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
And he shall provide a grain offering, an ephah with the bull and an ephah with the ram, and with the lambs as much as he is able, and a hin of oil with an ephah.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
And when the prince enters, he shall go in by way of the porch of the gate and go out by the same way.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
But when the people of the land come before Yahweh at the appointed times, he who enters by way of the north gate to worship shall go out by way of the south gate. And he who enters by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the north gate. No one shall return by way of the gate by which he entered but shall go straight out.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
So when they go in, the prince shall go in among them; and when they go out, he shall go out.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
"Now at the feasts and the appointed times the grain offering shall be an ephah with a bull and an ephah with a ram, and with the lambs shall be a gift from his hand, as well as a hin of oil with an ephah.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
And when the prince provides a freewill offering, a burnt offering, or peace offerings _as_ a freewill offering to Yahweh, the gate facing east shall be opened for him. And he shall provide his burnt offering and his peace offerings as he does on the sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and the gate shall be shut after he goes out.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
"And you shall provide a lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering to Yahweh daily; morning by morning you shall provide it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
Also you shall provide a grain offering with it morning by morning--a sixth of an ephah as well as a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour--a grain offering to Yahweh continually by a perpetual statute.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
Thus they shall provide the lamb, the grain offering, and the oil, morning by morning, for a continual burnt offering."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 16
|
||
|
|
'Thus says Lord Yahweh, "If the prince gives a gift _out of_ his inheritance to any of his sons, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 17
|
||
|
|
But if he gives a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince. His inheritance _shall be_ only his sons'; it shall belong to them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 18
|
||
|
|
Now the prince shall not take from the people's inheritance, mistreating them out of their possession; he shall give his sons inheritance from his own possession so that My people will not be scattered, anyone from his possession."'"

## The Boiling Places

###### 19
|
||
|
|
Then he brought me through the entrance, which _was_ at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which faced north; and behold, there _was_ a place at the extreme rear toward the west.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 20
|
||
|
|
Then he said to me, "This is the place where the priests shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering _and_ where they shall bake the grain offering, in order that they may not bring _them_ out into the outer court to transmit holiness to the people."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 21
|
||
|
|
Then he brought me out into the outer court and had me pass through to the four corners of the court; and behold, in every corner of the court _there was_ a _small_ court.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 22
|
||
|
|
In the four corners of the court _there were_ enclosed courts, forty _cubits_ long and thirty wide; these four in the corners _were_ the same size.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 23
|
||
|
|
_Now there was_ a row _of masonry_ round about in them, around the four of them, and boiling places were made under the rows round about.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 24
|
||
|
|
Then he said to me, "These are the boiling places where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifices of the people."
