Ezekiel:46
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Thus saith My Lord Yahweh ,
the gate of the inner court which looketh toward the east shall be shut ,
the six days of work ,
but on the sabbath-day ,
shall it be opened ,
and on the day of the new moon ,
shall it be opened .
*
The prince therefore shall enter by way of the porch of the gate without and shall stand by the post of the gate ,
and the priests shall offer his ascending-sacrifice and his peace offerings ,
and he shall bow down upon the threshold of the gate and then go forth ,
but the gate shall not be shut until the evening ;
*
and the people of the land I shall bow down at the entrance of that gate on the sabbaths and at the new moons ,
before Yahweh .
*
And ,
the ascending-sacrifice which the prince shall bring near unto Yahweh ,
on the sabbath day ,
six he-lambs without defect and a ram without defect ;
*
and the meal-offering shall be an ephah to a ram ,
and to the he-lambs ,
the meal-offering shall be as one is able to give ,
and of ,
a hin to an ephah .
*
But on the day of the new moon ,
a young bullock without defect ,
and six he-lambs and a ram without defect ,
shall they be ;
*
and an ephah to a bullock ,
and an ephah to a ram ,
shall he offer as a meal-offering ,
and for the he-lambs ,
just as his hand shall attain unto ,
and of oil a hin to an ephah .
*
And when the prince shall enter ,
by way of the porch of the gate ,
shall he go in ,
and by way thereof ,
shall he go out .
*
But when the people of the land shall enter before Yahweh on the appointed feasts ,
he that entereth by way of the north gate to bow down shall go forth by way of the south gate ,
and he that entereth by way of the south gate shall go forth by way of the north gate ,
he shall not return by way of the gate by which he entered ,
but straight-forward ,
shall he go forth .
*
But as for the prince in their midst when they enter ,
shall he enter ,
and when they go forth ,
shall he go forth ,
*
And in the festivals and in the appointed feasts ,
the meal-offering !
shall be an ephah to a bullock ,
and an ephah to a ram ,
but to the he-lambs ,
as one is able to give ,
and of oil a hin to an ephah .
*
And when the prince would offer as a free -
will offering ,
an ascending-sacrifice or peace-offerings as a free-will offering to Yahweh ,
then shall be opened to him the gate that looketh to the east ,
and he shall offer his ascending-sacrifice and his peace-offerings just a .
he would offer on the sabbath day ,-
and when he shall go forth ,
then shall one shut the gate after he hath gone forth .
*
And a he-lamb of the first year without defect ,
shalt thou offer as an ascending -
sacrifice day ,
unto Yahweh ,
morning by morning shalt thou offer it .
*
And a meal-offering ,
shalt thou offer thereupon morning by morning ,
of the sixth of an ephah and of ,
the third part of an hin to moisten the fine meal ,
a meal-offering to Yahweh ,
age-abiding statutes continually .
*
Thus shall they offer the he-lamb and the meal-offering and the morning by morning ,
a continual ascending-sacrifices .
*
Thus saith My Lord Yahweh ,
When the prince would bestow gift upon any one of his sons his own inheritance ,
shall it be ,
for his sons ,
shall it remain ,
their possession ,
shall it be by way of inheritance .
*
But when he would bestow a gift out of his inheritance on any one of his servants ,,
it shall remain his unto the year of liberation ,
then shall it return to the prince ,
surely it is the inheritance of his sons theirs shall it remain .
*
So then the prince shall not take of the inheritance of the people to oppress them out of their possession ,
out of his own possession ,
shall he give an inheritance to his sons ,
to the end that my people be not scattered ,
any one out of his possession .
*
Then he brought me in through the entrance which was by the side of the gate ,
into the chambers of the holy place for the priests ,
those facing the north ,
and lo !
there a place ,
in the hinder parts westwards .
*
Then said he unto me ,
This is the place where the priests I shall be the gut-bearer and the sin-bearer ,
where they shall bake the meal-offering ,
that one may not carry them forth into the outer court to hallow the people ,
*
So he caused me to go out into the outer court ,
and then made me pass through into the four corners of the court ,
and lo !
a court in each corner of the court :
*
and in the four corners of the court ,
were courts covered over ,
forty long and thirty broad :
of one measure ,
were those four .
*
And there was an enclosure round about in them round about to those four ,
and boiling places had been made under the enclosures round about .
*
And he said unto me ,
they ,
are the places of them who boil ,
where they who wait upon the house shall be the sacrifice of the people .
