¹ Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Η πυλη εσωτερας αυλης, η βλεπουσα προς ανατολας, θελει εισθαι κεκλεισμενη τας εξ εργασιμους ημερας. την δε ημεραν του σαββατου θελει ανοιγεσθαι και την ημεραν της νεομηνιας θελει ανοιγεσθαι.

² Και ο αρχων θελει εισελθει δια της οδου της στοας της πυλης της εξωθεν και θελει ιστασθαι πλησιον του παραστατου της πυλης, και οι ιερεις θελουσιν ετοιμαζει το ολοκαυτωμα αυτου και τας ειρηνικας προσφορας αυτου, και αυτος θελει προσκυνησει επι το κατωφλιον της πυλης· τοτε θελει εξελθει· η πυλη ομως δεν θελει κλεισθη εως εσπερας.

³ Ο λαος της γης θελει προσκυνει ωσαυτως εις την εισοδον της πυλης ταυτης ενωπιον του Κυριου εν τοις σαββασι και εν ταις νεομηνιαις.

⁴ Το δε ολοκαυτωμα, το οποιον ο αρχων θελει προσφερει εις τον Κυριον την ημεραν του σαββατου, θελει εισθαι εξ αρνια αμωμα, και κριος αμωμος.

⁵ Και η εξ αλφιτων προσφορα θελει εισθαι εν εφα δι' ενα κριον· η δε εξ αλφιτων προσφορα δια τα αρνια, οσον προαιρειται να δωση· και εν ιν ελαιου δι' εν εφα.

⁶ Και την ημεραν της νεομηνιας θελει εισθαι μοσχος βοος αμωμος και εξ αρνια και κριος· αμωμα θελουσιν εισθαι.

⁷ Και θελει ετοιμαζει προσφοραν εξ αλφιτων, εν εφα δια τον μοσχον και εν εφα δια τον κριον· δια δε τα αρνια, οσον ειναι ικανη η χειρ αυτου· και εν ιν ελαιου δι' εν εφα.

⁸ Και οταν ο αρχων εισερχηται, θελει εισερχεσθαι δια της οδου της στοας της πυλης ταυτης και θελει εξερχεσθαι δια της οδου της αυτης.

⁹ Οταν ομως ο λαος της γης ερχηται ενωπιον του Κυριου εν ταις επισημοις εορταις, ο εισερχομενος δια της οδου της βορειου πυλης δια να προσκυνηση θελει εξερχεσθαι δια της οδου της νοτιου πυλης· και ο εισερχομενος δια της οδου της νοτιου πυλης θελει εξερχεσθαι δια της οδου της βορειου πυλης· δεν θελει επιστρεφει δια της οδου της πυλης, δι' ης εισηλθεν, αλλα θελει εξερχεσθαι δια της απεναντι.

¹⁰ Και ο αρχων εν τω μεσω αυτων εισερχομενων θελει εισερχεσθαι, και εξερχομενων θελει εξερχεσθαι.

¹¹ Και εν ταις εορταις και εν ταις πανηγυρεσιν η εξ αλφιτων προσφορα θελει εισθαι εν εφα δια τον μοσχον και εν εφα δια τον κριον, δια δε τα αρνια, οσον προαιρειται να δωση· και εν ιν ελαιου δι' εν εφα.

¹² Οταν δε ο αρχων ετοιμαζη αυτοπροαιρετον ολοκαυτωμα η προσφορας ειρηνικας αυτοπροαιρετους εις τον Κυριον, τοτε θελουσιν ανοιγει εις αυτον την πυλην την βλεπουσαν κατα ανατολας, και θελει ετοιμαζει το ολοκαυτωμα αυτου και τας ειρηνικας προσφορας αυτου, καθως καμνει εν τη ημερα του σαββατου· τοτε θελει εξερχεσθαι, και μετα την εξελευσιν αυτου θελουσι κλειει την πυλην.

¹³ Θελεις δε ετοιμαζει καθ' ημεραν ολοκαυτωμα εις τον Κυριον εξ αρνιου ενιαυσιου αμωμου· καθ' εκαστην πρωιαν θελεις ετοιμαζει αυτο.

¹⁴ Και θελεις ετοιμαζει δι' αυτο προσφοραν εξ αλφιτων καθ' εκαστην πρωιαν, το εκτον του εφα και ελαιον το τριτον του ιν, δια να αναμιγνυης αυτο μετα της σεμιδαλεως· προσφοραν εξ αλφιτων εις τον Κυριον δια παντος κατα προσταγμα αιωνιον.

¹⁵ Και θελουσιν ετοιμαζει το αρνιον και την εξ αλφιτων προσφοραν και το ελαιον καθ' εκαστην πρωιαν, ολοκαυτωμα παντοτεινον.

¹⁶ Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Εαν ο αρχων δωση δωρον εις τινα εκ των υιων αυτου, τουτο θελει εισθαι κληρονομια αυτου· των υιων αυτου ειναι· ιδιοκτησια αυτων θελει εισθαι εν κληρονομια.

¹⁷ Αλλ' εαν δωση δωρον εκ της κληρονομιας αυτου εις τινα εκ των δουλων αυτου τοτε θελει εισθαι αυτου εως του ετους της αφεσεως· μετα τουτο θελει επιστρεφει εις τον αρχοντα· διοτι η κληρονομια αυτου ειναι των υιων αυτου· αυτων θελει εισθαι.

¹⁸ Ο δε αρχων δεν θελει λαμβανει εκ της κληρονομιας του λαου, εκβαλλων αυτους δια καταδυναστειας εκ της ιδιοκτησιας αυτων· εκ της ιδιοκτησιας αυτου θελει κληροδοτησει τους υιους αυτου, δια να μη διασκορπιζηται ο λαος μου εκαστος εκ της ιδιοκτησιας αυτου.

¹⁹ Επειτα με εφερε δια της εισοδου της εις τα πλαγια της πυλης προς τους αγιους θαλαμους των ιερεων τους βλεποντας προς βορραν· και ιδου, εκει τοπος εις το ενδοτερον προς δυσμας.

²⁰ Και ειπε προς εμε, ουτος ειναι ο τοπος, οπου οι ιερεις θελουσι βραζει την περι ανομιας προσφοραν και την περι αμαρτιας προσφοραν, οπου θελουσι ψηνει την εξ αλφιτων προσφοραν, δια να μη εκφερωσιν αυτα εις την αυλην την εξωτεραν, δια να αγιασωσι τον λαον.

²¹ Και με εξηγαγεν εις την αυλην την εξωτεραν και με περιεφερεν εις τας τεσσαρας γωνιας της αυλης· και ιδου, αυλη εν εκαστη γωνια της αυλης.

²² κατα τας τεσσαρας γωνιας της αυλης ησαν αυλαι ηνωμεναι, τεσσαρακοντα πηχων το μηκος και τριακοντα το πλατος· αι τεσσαρες αυται γωνιαι ησαν του αυτου μετρου.

²³ Και ητο σειρα οικοδομων κυκλω αυτων, κυκλω των τεσσαρων αυτων· και ησαν μαγειρεια κατεσκευασμενα υποκατω των σειρων κυκλω.

²⁴ Και ειπε προς εμε, Ταυτα ειναι τα οικηματα των μαγειρων, οπου οι υπηρεται του οικου θελουσι βραζει τας θυσιας του λαου.
