The Prince’s Offerings
1‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 1GodH3068 saysH559: “The 2gateH8179 of the 3innerH6442 courtyardH2691 facingH6437 eastH6921 shall be 4shutH5462 for 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 worshipH2331 at the thresholdH4670 of the gateH8179 and then goH3318 outH3318; but the gateH8179 shall not be 10shutH5462 untilH5704 the eveningH6153. 3The 11peopleH5971 of the landH776 shall also worshipH2331 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 16ephahH374 17with the ramH352, and the grain offeringH4503 18with the lambsH3532 19as muchH3027 as he is 20ableH3027 to giveH4991, and a 21hinH1969 of oilH8081 22with an ephahH374. 6On the dayH3117 of the 23newH2320 moonH2320 he shall offer a 24bullH6499H1121H1241 withoutH8549 blemishH8549, and sixH8337 lambsH3532 and a ramH352, which shall be withoutH8549 blemishH8549. 7And he shall provideH6213 a 25grain offeringH4503, an ephahH374 26with the bullH6499 and an ephahH374 27with the ramH352, and 28with the lambsH3532 as 29muchH5381 as he is 30ableH5381H3027, and a hinH1969 of oilH8081 31with an ephahH374. 8When the 32princeH5387 entersH935, he shall goH935 inH935 by wayH1870 of the porchH197 of the gateH8179, and goH3318 outH3318 by 33the same wayH1870. 9But when the peopleH5971 of the landH776 comeH935 34beforeH6440 the LordH3068 at the appointedH4150 feastsH4150, one who entersH935 by wayH1870 of the northH6828 gateH8179 to worshipH2331 shall goH3318 outH3318 by wayH1870 of the southH5045 gateH8179. And one who entersH935 by wayH1870 of the southH5045 gateH8179 shall goH3318 outH3318 by wayH1870 of the northH6828 gateH8179. 35NoH3808 one shall returnH7725 by wayH1870 of the gateH8179 by whichH834 he enteredH935, but shall goH3318 straightH5227 outH3318. 10And when they goH935 inH935, the princeH5387 shall goH935 inH935 36amongH8432 them; and when they goH3318 outH3318, 37he shall goH3318 outH3318.
11“At the 38festivalsH2282 and the appointedH4150 feastsH4150, the 39grain offeringH4503 shall be an ephahH374 40with a bullH6499 and an ephahH374 41with a ramH352, and 42with the lambsH3532 as 43muchH3027 as one is ableH3027 to giveH4991, and a hinH1969 of oilH8081 44with an ephahH374. 12And whenH3588 the princeH5387 providesH6213 a 4546voluntaryH5071 offeringH5071, a burntH5930 offeringH5930, orH176 peaceH8002 offeringsH8002 as a 47voluntaryH5071 offeringH5071 to the LordH3068, the gateH8179 facingH6437 eastH6921 shall be 48openedH6605 for him. And he shall provideH6213 his burntH5930 offeringH5930 and his peaceH8002 offeringsH8002 as he doesH6213 on the 49SabbathH7676 dayH3117. Then he shall goH3318 outH3318, and the gateH8179 shall be shutH5462 afterH310 he goesH3318 outH3318.
13“And you shall provideH6213 a 50lambH3532 a yearH8141 oldH1121 withoutH8549 blemishH8549 as a burntH5930 offeringH5930 to the LordH3068 dailyH3117; 51morningH1242 by morningH1242 you shall provideH6213 it. 14You shall also provideH6213 a grain offeringH4503 with it morningH1242 by morningH1242, a 52sixthH8345 of an ephahH374 and a thirdH7992 of a hinH1969 of oilH8081 to moistenH7450 the fineH5560 flourH5560, a grain offeringH4503 to the LordH3068 continuallyH8548 by 53a permanentH5769 ordinanceH2708. 15So they shall provideH6213 the lambH3532, the grain offeringH4503, and the oilH8081, morningH1242 by morningH1242, as a 54continualH8548 burntH5930 offeringH5930.”
16‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “IfH3588 the princeH5387 givesH5414 a 55giftH4979 from 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 56yearH8141 of 57releaseH1865; then it shall returnH7725 to the princeH5387. His inheritanceH5159 shall be onlyH389 his sons’H1121; it shall belongH1961 to them. 18And the princeH5387 shall 58not takeH3947 from the people’sH5971 inheritanceH5159, 5960deprivingH3238 them of their propertyH272; he shall giveH5157 his sonsH1121 inheritanceH5157 from his own propertyH272, soH4616 thatH4616 My peopleH5971 will not be scatteredH6327, anyoneH376 from his propertyH272.”’”
The Boiling Places
19Then he broughtH935 me through the 61entranceH3996, which was at the sideH3802 of the gateH8179, into the holyH6944 chambersH3957 for the priestsH3548, which facedH6437 northH6828; and beholdH2009, a placeH4725 was thereH8033 at the extremeH3411 rearH3411 toward the westH3220. 20And he saidH559 to me, “ThisH2088 is the placeH4725 whereH834H8033 the priestsH3548 shall boilH1310 the 62guiltH817 offeringH817 and the sinH2403 offeringH2403, and whereH834 they shall 63bakeH644 the grain offeringH4503, so that they do not bringH3318 them outH3318 into the outerH2435 courtyardH2691 64and transferH6942 holinessH6942 to the peopleH5971.”
21Then he broughtH3318 me outH3318 into the outerH2435 courtyardH2691 and ledH5674 me acrossH5674 to the fourH702 cornersH4740 of the courtyardH2691; and beholdH2009, in everyH4740 cornerH4740 of the courtyardH2691 there was a small courtyardH2691. 22In the fourH702 cornersH4740 of the courtyardH2691 there were enclosedH7000 courtyardsH2691, fortyH705 65cubits longH753 and thirtyH7970 wideH7341; these fourH702 in the cornersH7106 were 66the sameH259 sizeH4060. 23And there was a rowH2905 of masonry allH5439 aroundH5439 in them, aroundH5439 the fourH702 of them, and cookingH4018 hearthsH4018 were madeH6213 underH8478 the rowsH2918 allH5439 aroundH5439. 24Then he saidH559 to me, “TheseH428 are the cookingH1310 67placesH1004 whereH834H8033 the ministersH8334 of the houseH1004 shall cookH1310 the sacrificesH2077 of the peopleH5971.”
