1
Thus says the Lord Jehovih*; The gate of the inner court that faces toward the east shall be shut the six work◦ days; but on the Sabbath day it shall be opened, and in the day of the new··moon it shall be opened.
2
And the chief shall come··into the way of the porch of that gate outside, and shall stand by◦ the post of the gate, and the priests shall make his burnt··offering and his peace··offerings, and he shall worship by◦ the threshold of the gate; then he shall go··forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.
3
And the people of the land shall worship at the entrance of this◦ gate before Jehovah on◦ the Sabbaths and on◦ the new··moons.
4
And the burnt··offering that the chief shall offer to Jehovah in the Sabbath day shall be six perfect lambs, and a perfect ram.
5
And the gift··offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and the gift··offering for the lambs shall be the gift of his hand, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
6
And in the day of the new··moon it shall be a son of the herd, a perfect bullock, and six lambs, and a ram; they shall be perfect.
7
And he shall make a gift··offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as◦ his hand shall obtain, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
8
And when the chief shall come, he shall go··in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go··out by the way of it.
9
But when the people of the land shall come··in before Jehovah in the solemn··occasions, he who comes··in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go··out by the way of the south gate; and he that comes··in by the way of the south gate shall go··out by the way of the north gate; he shall not return by way of the gate by which he came··in, but◦ shall go··out on the gate opposite him.
10
And the chief in their midst, when they go··in, he shall go··in; and when they go··out, he shall go··out.
11
And in the festivals and in the solemnities the gift··offering shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs the gift of his hand, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
12
And when◦ the chief shall make a freewill offering, a burnt··offering, or peace··offerings, a freewill offering to Jehovah, and shall open to him the gate that faces east, and shall make his burnt··offering and his peace··offerings, as◦ he did on◦ the Sabbath day; then he shall go··out, and after his going··out he shall shut the gate.
13
And a perfect lamb, the son of his year, thou shalt make as a burnt··offering for the day to Jehovah in the morning, in the morning thou shalt make it.
14
And thou shalt make a gift··offering for▵ it every morning, the sixth of an ephah, and the third··part of a hin of oil, to temper with the flour; a continual gift··offering unto Jehovah of an eternal statute.
15
And they shall make the lamb, and the gift··offering, and the oil in the morning, in the morning a continual burnt··offering.
16
Thus says the Lord Jehovih; If▫ the chief give a gift unto a man◦ of his sons, the inheritance of it shall be to 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 for him to◦ the year of liberty; and it shall return to the chief; but his inheritance shall surely be his sons’ for them◦.
18
And the chief shall not take from the inheritance of the people, to defraud them of their possession◦; but from his own possession◦ shall he give· his sons ·for··an··inheritance; so··that they scatter not My people, a man◦ from his possession◦.
19
And he brought me into the entryway◦, which was by the shoulder◦ of the gate, into▵ the holy rooms unto▵ the priests, facing toward the north; and, behold, there was a place on the two flanks toward the sea*.
20
And he said to▵ me, This is the place where the priests shall cook the guilt offering and the sin offering, where▵ they shall bake the gift··offering; that they bring· them not▵ ·out to▵ the outer court, to sanctify the people.
21
And he brought· me ·out to▵ the outer court, and caused me to pass··by at▵ the four edges of the court; and, behold, a court at the edge of a court, a court at the edge of a court.
22
In the four edges of the court there were courts joined▫, forty cubits in length and thirty in breadth; one measure for the four edges.
23
And there was a row all around in them, four with them all around, and cooking··places were made beneath the rows all around.
24
Then said he unto▵ me, These are the houses of them that cook, where▵ the ministers of the house shall cook the sacrifice of the people.
