The Prince’s Offerings

1‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 1GodH3068, “The 2gateH8179 of the 3innerH6442 courtH2691 facingH6437 eastH6921 shall be 4shutH5462 the sixH8337 5workingH4639 daysH3117; but it shall be openedH6605 on the 6sabbathH7676 dayH3117 and openedH6605 on the dayH3117 of the 7newH2320 moonH2320. 2The 8princeH5387 shall enterH935 by wayH1870 of the porchH197 of the gateH8179 from outsideH2351 and standH5975 by the 9postH4201 of the gateH8179. Then the priestsH3548 shall provideH6213 his burntH5930 offeringH5930 and his peaceH8002 offeringsH8002, and he shall worshipH7812 at the thresholdH4670 of the gateH8179 and then goH3318 out; but the gateH8179 shall not be 10shutH5462 untilH5704 the eveningH6153. 3The 11peopleH5971 of the landH776 shall also worshipH7812 at the doorwayH6607 of that gateH8179 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 on the sabbathsH7676 and on the 12newH2320 moonsH2320. 4The 13burntH5930 offeringH5930 whichH834 the princeH5387 shall offerH7126 to the LordH3068 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117 shall be 14sixH8337 lambsH3532 withoutH8549 blemishH8549 and a ramH352 withoutH8549 blemishH8549; 5and the 15grain offeringH4503 shall be an ephahH374 16with the ramH352, and the grain offeringH4503 17with the lambsH3532 18as muchH3027 as he is 19ableH3027 to giveH4991, and a hinH1969 of oilH8081 20with an ephahH374. 6On the dayH3117 of the 21newH2320 moonH2320 he shall offer a youngH1121 bullH6499 withoutH8549 blemishH8549, also sixH8337 lambsH3532 and a ramH352, which shall be withoutH8549 blemishH8549. 7And he shall provideH6213 a 22grain offeringH4503, an ephahH374 23with the bullH6499 and an ephahH374 24with the ramH352, and 25with the lambsH3532 as 26muchH3027 as he is 27ableH5381H3027, and a hinH1969 of oilH8081 28with an ephahH374. 8When the 29princeH5387 entersH935, he shall goH935 in by wayH1870 of the porchH197 of the gateH8179 and goH3318 out 30by the same wayH1870. 9But when the peopleH5971 of the landH776 comeH935 31beforeH6440 the LordH3068 at the appointedH4150 feastsH4150, he who entersH935 by wayH1870 of the northH6828 gateH8179 to worshipH7812 shall goH3318 out by wayH1870 of the southH5045 gateH8179. And he who entersH935 by wayH1870 of the southH5045 gateH8179 shall goH3318 out by wayH1870 of the northH6828 gateH8179. 32NoH3808 one shall returnH7725 by wayH1870 of the gateH8179 by whichH834 he enteredH935 but shall goH3318 straightH3318 out. 10When they goH935 in, the princeH5387 shall goH935 in 33amongH8432 them; and when they goH3318 out, 34he shall goH3318 out.

11“At the 35festivalsH2282 and the appointedH4150 feastsH4150 the 36grain offeringH4503 shall be an ephahH374 37with a bullH6499 and an ephahH374 38with a ramH352, and 39with the lambsH3532 as 40muchH3027 as one is ableH3027 to giveH4991, and a hinH1969 of oilH8081 41with an ephahH374. 12WhenH3588 the princeH5387 providesH6213 a 42freewillH5071 offeringH5071, a burntH5930 offeringH5930, orH176 peaceH8002 offeringsH8002 as a freewillH5071 offeringH5071 to the LordH3068, the gateH8179 facingH6437 eastH6921 shall be 43openedH6605 for him. And he shall provideH6213 his burntH5930 offeringH5930 and his peaceH8002 offeringsH8002 as he doesH6213 on the 44sabbathH7676 dayH3117. Then he shall goH3318 out, and the gateH8179 shall be shutH5462 afterH310 he goesH3318 out.

13“And you shall provideH6213 a 45lambH3532 a yearH8141 oldH1121 withoutH8549 blemishH8549 for a burntH5930 offeringH5930 to the LordH3068 dailyH3117; 46morningH1242 by morningH1242 you shall provideH6213 it. 14Also you shall provideH6213 a grain offeringH4503 with it morningH1242 by morningH1242, a 47sixthH8345 of an ephahH374 and a thirdH7992 of a hinH1969 of oilH8081 to moistenH7450 the fineH5560 flourH5560, a grain offeringH4503 to the LordH3068 continuallyH8548 by a perpetualH5769 48ordinanceH2708. 15Thus they shall provideH6213 the lambH3532, the grain offeringH4503 and the oilH8081, morningH1242 by morningH1242, for a 49continualH8548 burntH5930 offeringH5930.”

16‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “IfH3588 the princeH5387 givesH5414 a 50giftH4979 out of his inheritanceH5159 to anyH376 of his sonsH1121, it shall belongH1961 to his sonsH1121; it is their possessionH272 by inheritanceH5159. 17But ifH3588 he givesH5414 a giftH4979 from his inheritanceH5159 to oneH259 of his servantsH5650, it shall be his untilH5704 the 51yearH8141 of libertyH1865; then it shall returnH7725 to the princeH5387. His inheritanceH5159 shall be onlyH389 his sons’H1121; it shall belongH1961 to them. 18The princeH5387 shall 52not takeH3947 from the people’sH5971 inheritanceH5159, 5354thrustingH3238 them out of their possessionH272; he shall giveH5157 his sonsH1121 inheritanceH5157 from his own possessionH272 soH4616 that My peopleH5971 will not be scatteredH6327, anyoneH376 from his possessionH272.”’”

The Boiling Places

19Then he broughtH935 me through the 55entranceH3996, which was at the sideH3802 of the gateH8179, into the holyH6944 chambersH3957 for the priestsH3548, which facedH6437 northH6828; and beholdH2009, thereH8033 was a placeH4725 at the extremeH3411 rearH3411 toward the westH3220. 20He saidH559 to me, “ThisH2088 is the placeH4725 whereH834H8033 the priestsH3548 shall boilH1310 the 56guiltH817 offeringH817 and the sinH2403 offeringH2403 and whereH834 they shall 57bakeH644 the grain offeringH4503, in order that they may not bringH3318 them out into the outerH2435 courtH2691 to transmitH6942 holinessH6942 to the peopleH5971.”

21Then he broughtH3318 me out into the outerH2435 courtH2691 and ledH5674 me acrossH5674 to the fourH702 cornersH4740 of the courtH2691; and beholdH2009, in everyH4740 cornerH4740 of the courtH2691 there was a small courtH2691. 22In the fourH702 cornersH4740 of the courtH2691 there were enclosedH7000 courtsH2691, fortyH705 cubits longH753 and thirtyH7970 wideH7341; these fourH702 in the cornersH7106 were 58the sameH259 sizeH4060. 23There was a rowH2905 of masonry roundH5439 aboutH5439 in them, aroundH5439 the fourH702 of them, and boilingH4018 placesH4018 were madeH6213 underH8478 the rowsH2918 roundH5439 aboutH5439. 24Then he saidH559 to me, “TheseH428 are the boilingH1310 59placesH1004 whereH834H8033 the ministersH8334 of the houseH1004 shall boilH1310 the sacrificesH2077 of the peopleH5971.”
