¹ 他又帶我回到聖地朝東的外門；那門關閉了。

² 耶和華對我說：這門必須關閉，不可敞開，誰也不可由其中進入；因為耶和華─以色列的神已經由其中進入，所以必須關閉。

³ 至於王，他必按王的位分，坐在其內，在耶和華面前吃餅。他必由這門的廊而入，也必由此而出。

⁴ 他又帶我由北門來到殿前。我觀看，見耶和華的榮光充滿耶和華的殿，我就俯伏在地。

⁵ 耶和華對我說：人子啊，我對你所說耶和華殿中的一切典章法則，你要放在心上，用眼看，用耳聽，並要留心殿宇和聖地一切出入之處。

⁶ 你要對那悖逆的以色列家說，主耶和華如此說：以色列家啊，你們行一切可憎的事，當夠了罷！

⁷ 你們把我的食物，就是脂油和血獻上的時候，將身心未受割禮的外邦人領進我的聖地，玷污了我的殿；又背了我的約，在你們一切可憎的事上，加上這一層。

⁸ 你們也沒有看守我的聖物，卻派別人在聖地替你們看守我所吩咐你們的。

⁹ 主耶和華如此說：以色列中的外邦人，就是身心未受割禮的，都不可入我的聖地。

¹⁰ 當以色列人走迷的時候，有利未人遠離我，就是走迷離開我、隨從他們的偶像，他們必擔當自己的罪孽。

¹¹ 然而他們必在我的聖地當僕役，照管殿門，在殿中供職；必為民宰殺燔祭牲和平安祭牲，必站在民前伺候他們。

¹² 因為這些利未人曾在偶像前伺候這民，成了以色列家罪孽的絆腳石，所以我向他們起誓：他們必擔當自己的罪孽。這是主耶和華說的。

¹³ 他們不可親近我，給我供祭司的職分，也不可挨近我的一件聖物，就是至聖的物；他們卻要擔當自己的羞辱和所行可憎之事的報應。

¹⁴ 然而我要使他們看守殿宇，辦理其中的一切事，並做其內一切當做之工。

¹⁵ 以色列人走迷離開我的時候，祭司利未人撒督的子孫仍看守我的聖所。他們必親近我，事奉我，並且侍立在我面前，將脂油與血獻給我。這是主耶和華說的。

¹⁶ 他們必進入我的聖所，就近我的桌前事奉我，守我所吩咐的。

¹⁷ 他們進內院門必穿細麻衣。在內院門和殿內供職的時候不可穿羊毛衣服。

¹⁸ 他們頭上要戴細麻布裹頭巾，腰穿細麻布褲子；不可穿使身體出汗的衣服。

¹⁹ 他們出到外院的民那裡，當脫下供職的衣服，放在聖屋內，穿上別的衣服，免得因聖衣使民成聖。

²⁰ 不可剃頭，也不可容髮綹長長，只可剪髮。

²¹ 祭司進內院的時候都不可喝酒。

²² 不可娶寡婦和被休的婦人為妻，只可娶以色列後裔中的處女，或是祭司遺留的寡婦。

²³ 他們要使我的民知道聖俗的分別，又使他們分辨潔淨的和不潔淨的。

²⁴ 有爭訟的事，他們應當站立判斷，要按我的典章判斷。在我一切的節期必守我的律法、條例，也必以我的安息日為聖日。

²⁵ 他們不可挨近死屍沾染自己，只可為父親、母親、兒子、女兒、弟兄，和未嫁人的姊妹沾染自己。

²⁶ 祭司潔淨之後，必再計算七日。

²⁷ 當他進內院，進聖所，在聖所中事奉的日子，要為自己獻贖罪祭。這是主耶和華說的。

²⁸ 祭司必有產業，我是他們的產業。不可在以色列中給他們基業；我是他們的基業。

²⁹ 素祭、贖罪祭，和贖愆祭他們都可以吃，以色列中一切永獻的物都要歸他們。

³⁰ 首先初熟之物和一切所獻的供物都要歸給祭司。你們也要用初熟的麥子磨麵給祭司；這樣，福氣就必臨到你們的家了。

³¹ 無論是鳥是獸，凡自死的，或是撕裂的，祭司都不可吃。

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.
