* Thus hath said the Lord Eternal , The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall remain locked the six working days ; but on the sabbath day shall it be opened , and on the new –moon day shall it be opened . * And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate , from without , and shall stand by the door –post of the gate , and the priests shall prepare his burnt –offering and his peace –offerings , and he shall bow himself down at the threshold of the gate , and he shall then go forth ; but the gate shall not be locked until the evening . * And the people of the land shall bow themselves down at the door of this same gate on the sabbaths and on the new –moons before the Lord . * And the burnt –offering which the prince is to offer unto the Lord , shall be on the sabbath –day six sheep without blemish , and a ram without blemish ; * And as a meat –offering an ephah for the ram , and for the sheep a meat –offering as his hand may be able to give , and a hin of oil for every ephah . * And on the day of the new moon , a young bullock without blemish , and six sheep and a ram ; without blemish shall they be . * And an ephah for the bullock , and an ephah for the ram , shall he prepare as a meat –offering , and for the sheep according as his means may reach , and a hin of oil for every ephah . * And when the prince doth enter , he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate , and by the same way shall he go forth . * But when the people of the land come before the Lord on the appointed feasts , he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to bow himself down shall go out by the way of the south gate ; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go out by the way of the north gate : he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in ; but by that opposite to him shall he go out . * And as for the prince ––in the midst of them , when they go in , shall he go in ; and when they go out , shall they go out . * And on the feasts and on the appointed festivals shall the meat –offering be an ephah for each bullock , and an ephah for each ram , and for the sheep as his hand may be able to give , and a hin of oil for every ephah . * And when the prince doth prepare as a voluntary gift a burnt –offering , or a peace –offering , as a voluntary gift unto the Lord : then shall be opened for him the gate that looketh toward the east , and he shall prepare his burnt –offering and his peace –offering , as he usually doth on the sabbath –day ; and he shall go out , and the gate shall be locked after his going out . * And a sheep of the first year without blemish shalt thou prepare as a burnt –offering every day unto the Lord : morning by morning shalt thou prepare it . * And as a meat –offering shalt thou prepare with it , morning by morning , the sixth part of an ephah , and the third of a hin of oil , to mingle with the fine flour ––a meat –offering unto the Lord , as ordinances for ever continually . * Thus shall they prepare the sheep , and the meat –offering , and the oil , morning by morning , as a continual burnt –offering . * Thus hath said the Lord Eternal , If the prince make gift unto any one of his sons , it is his inheritance , it shall belong to his sons : it shall be their possession as their inheritance . * But if he make a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants : then shall it remain his to the year of freedom , when it shall return to the prince ; but his inheritance shall only remain for his sons . * But the prince shall not take any thing from the inheritance of the people , to wrong them out of their possession : out of his own possession can he give an inheritance to his sons ; in order that not one of my people be deprived of his possession . * And then he brought me through the entry , which was at the side of the gate , into the holy chambers for the priests , which looked toward the north : and , behold , there was a place by the back wall on the west side . * And he said 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 ; so as not to carry the same out into the outer court , to mingle with the people . * Then did he lead me forth into the outer court , and caused me to pass along the four corners of the court ; and , behold , in every corner of the court there was a court . * In the four corners of the court there were uncovered courts of forty cubits in length and thirty in breadth : there was one measure for all these four in the corners . * And there was a shelf of masonry round about in them , round about all these four , and it was furnished with hearths for boiling under the shelves round about . * Then said he unto me , These are the places of those that boil , where the servants of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people .
