* "Thus says the Lord GOD : "The gateway of the inner court that faces toward the east shall be shut the six working days ; but on the Sabbath it shall be opened , and on the day of the New Moon it shall be opened . * The prince shall enter by way of the vestibule of the gateway from the outside , and stand by the gatepost . The priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings . He shall worship at the threshold of the gate . Then he shall go out , but the gate shall not be shut until evening . * Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the entrance to this gateway before the LORD on the Sabbaths and the New Moons . * The burnt offering that the prince offers to the LORD on the Sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish , and a ram without blemish ; * and the grain offering shall be one ephah for a ram , and the grain offering for the lambs , as much as he wants to give , as well as a hin of oil with every ephah . * On the day of the New Moon it shall be a young bull without blemish , six lambs , and a ram ; they shall be without blemish . * He shall prepare a grain offering of an ephah for a bull , an ephah for a ram , as much as he wants to give for the lambs , and a hin of oil with every ephah . * When the prince enters , he shall go in by way of the vestibule of the gateway , and go out the same way . * "But when the people of the land come before the LORD on the appointed feast days , whoever enters by way of the north gate to worship shall go out by way of the south gate ; and whoever enters by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the north gate . He shall not return by way of the gate through which he came , but shall go out through the opposite gate . * The prince shall then be in their midst . When they go in , he shall go in ; and when they go out , he shall go out . * At the festivals and the appointed feast days the grain offering shall be an ephah for a bull , an ephah for a ram , as much as he wants to give for the lambs , and a hin of oil with every ephah . * "Now when the prince makes a voluntary burnt offering or voluntary peace offering to the LORD , the gate that faces toward the east shall then be opened for him ; and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings as he did on the Sabbath day . Then he shall go out , and after he goes out the gate shall be shut . * "You shall daily make a burnt offering to the LORD of a lamb of the first year without blemish ; you shall prepare it every morning . * And you shall prepare a grain offering with it every morning , a sixth of an ephah , and a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour . This grain offering is a perpetual ordinance , to be made regularly to the LORD . * Thus they shall prepare the lamb , the grain offering , and the oil , as a regular burnt offering every morning ." * "Thus says the Lord GOD : "If the prince gives a gift of some of his inheritance to any of his sons , it shall belong to his sons ; it is their possession by inheritance . * But if he gives a gift of some of his inheritance to one of his servants , it shall be his until the year of liberty , after which it shall return to the prince . But his inheritance shall belong to his sons ; it shall become theirs . * Moreover the prince shall not take any of the people 's inheritance by evicting them from their property ; he shall provide an inheritance for his sons from his own property , so that none of My people may be scattered from his property .""' * Now he brought me through the entrance , which was at the side of the gate , into the holy chambers of the priests which face toward the north ; and there a place was situated at their extreme western end . * And he said to me , "This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering , and where they shall bake the grain offering , so that they do not bring them out into the outer court to sanctify the people ." * Then he brought me out into the outer court and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court ; and in fact , in every corner of the court there was another court . * In the four corners of the court were enclosed courts , forty cubits long and thirty wide ; all four corners were the same size . * There was a row of building stones all around in them , all around the four of them ; and cooking hearths were made under the rows of stones all around . * And he said to me , "These are the kitchens where the ministers of the temple shall boil the sacrifices of the people ."
