Bible, King James Version
Ezekiel
Ezek.46
[1] Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court
that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days;
but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new
moon it shall be opened.
[2] And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of
that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and
the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace
offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate:
then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the
evening.
[3] Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the
door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new
moons.
[4] And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer
unto the LORD in the sabbath day shall be six lambs without
blemish, and a ram without blemish.
[5] And the meat offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and
the meat offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give, and
an hin of oil to an ephah.
[6] And in the day of the new moon it shall be a young
bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be
without blemish.
[7] And he shall prepare a meat offering, an ephah for a
bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as
his hand shall attain unto, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
[8] And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the
way of the porch of that gate, and he shall go forth by the way
thereof.
[9] But when the people of the land shall come before the
LORD in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the
north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate;
and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth
by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of
the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth over against
it.
[10] And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in,
shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth.
[11] And in the feast and in the solemnities the meat
offering shall be an ephah to a bullock, and ephah to a ram, and
to the lambs as he is able to give, and an hin of oil to an
ephah.
[12] Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt
offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto the LORD, one shall
then open him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall
prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on
the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going
forth one shall shut the gate.
[13] Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the
LORD of a lamb of the first year without blemish: thou shalt
prepare it every morning.
[14] And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every
morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin
of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a meat offering
continually by a perpetual ordinance unto the LORD.
[15] Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat
offering, and the oil, every morning for a continual burnt
offering.
[16] Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift
unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons';
it shall be their possession by inheritance.
[17] But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of
his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after
it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his
sons' for them.
[18] Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's
inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their
possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own
possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his
possession.
[19] After he brought me through the entry, which was at
the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests,
which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place on
the two sides westward.
[20] Then said he unto me, This is the place where the
priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering,
where they shall bake the meat offering; that they bear them not
out into the utter court, to sanctify the people.
[21] Then he brought me forth into the utter court, and
caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold,
in every corner of the court there was a court.
[22] In the four corners of the court there were courts
joined of forty cubits long and thirty broad: these four corners
were of one measure.
[23] And there was a row of building round about in them,
round about them four, and it was made with boiling places under
the rows round about.
[24] Then said he unto me, These are the places of them
that boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the
sacrifice of the people.
