Ezekiel 46:1-15
1“This is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559: ‘The gateH8179 of the innerH6442 courtH2691 that facesH6437 eastH6921 must beH1961 kept shutH5462 during the sixH8337 daysH3117 of workH4639, but on the SabbathH7676 dayH3117 and on the dayH3117 of the New MoonH2320 it shall be openedH6605. 2The princeH5387 is to enterH935 from the outsideH2351 throughH1870 the porticoH197 of the gatewayH8179 and standH5975 byH5921 the gatepostH4201H8179, while the priestsH3548 sacrificeH6213 his burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002. He is to bow in worshipH7812 atH5921 the thresholdH4670 of the gateH8179 and then departH3318, but the gateH8179 must notH3808 be shutH5462 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 3On the SabbathsH7676 and New MoonsH2320 the peopleH5971 of the landH776 are also to bow in worshipH7812 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 at the entranceH6607 to thatH1931 gatewayH8179.
4The burnt offeringH5930 thatH834 the princeH5387 presentsH7126 to the LORDH3068 on the SabbathH7676 dayH3117 shall be sixH8337 unblemishedH8549 male lambsH3532 and an unblemishedH8549 ramH352. 5The grain offeringH4503 with the ramH352 shall be one ephahH374,1 and the grain offeringH4503 with the lambsH3532 shall beH4991 as much as he is ableH3027, along with a hinH1969 of oilH8081 per ephahH374. 6On the dayH3117 of the New MoonH2320 he shall offer a youngH1121H1241, unblemishedH8549 bullH6499, sixH8337 lambsH3532, and a ramH352 without blemishH8549. 7He is to provideH6213 a grain offeringH4503 of an ephahH374 with the bullH6499, an ephahH374 with the ramH352, and as muchH834 as he is ableH5381H3027 with the lambsH3532, along with a hinH1969 of oilH8081 per ephahH374. 8When the princeH5387 entersH935, he shall go inH935 throughH1870 the porticoH197 of the gatewayH8179, and he shall go outH3318 the same wayH1870.
9When the peopleH5971 of the landH776 comeH935 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 at the appointed feastsH4150, whoever entersH935 byH1870 the northH6828 gateH8179 to worshipH7812 must go outH3318 byH1870 the southH5045 gateH8179, and whoever entersH935 byH1870 the southH5045 gateH8179 must go outH3318 byH1870 the northH6828 gateH8179. No oneH3808 is to returnH7725 throughH1870 the gateH8179 by whichH834 he enteredH935, butH3588 each must go outH3318 by the opposite gateH5227.
10When the people enterH935, the princeH5387 shall go inH935 with themH8432, and when they leaveH3318, he shall leaveH3318. 11At the festivalsH2282 and appointed feastsH4150, the grain offeringH4503 shall beH1961 an ephahH374 with a bullH6499, an ephahH374 with a ramH352, and as much as one is ableH3027 to giveH4991 with the lambsH3532, along with a hinH1969 of oilH8081 per ephahH374.
12WhenH3588 the princeH5387 makesH6213 a freewill offeringH5071 to the LORDH3068, whether a burnt offeringH5930 orH176 a peace offeringH8002, the gateH8179 facingH6437 eastH6921 must be openedH6605 for him. He is to offerH6213 his burnt offeringH5930 or peace offeringH8002 just asH834 he doesH6213 on the SabbathH7676 dayH3117. Then he shall go outH3318, and the gateH8179 must be closedH5462 afterH310 he goes outH3318.
13And you shall provideH6213 an unblemishedH8549 year-oldH1121H8141 lambH3532 as a dailyH3117 burnt offeringH5930 to the LORDH3068; you are to offer itH6213 every morningH1242. 14You are also to provideH6213 with itH5921 every morningH1242 a grain offeringH4503H1242 of a sixthH8345 of an ephahH3742 with a thirdH7992 of a hinH1969 of oilH80813 to moistenH7450 the fine flourH5560—a grain offeringH4503 to the LORDH3068. This is a permanentH5769H8548 statuteH2708. 15Thus they shall provideH6213 the lambH3532, the grain offeringH4503, and the oilH8081 every morningH1242 as a regularH8548 burnt offeringH5930.’
