Ezekiel 46
1 Thus
saith the
Lord GOD; The
gate of the
inner court that
looketh toward the
east shall be
shut the
six working days; but on the
sabbath it shall be
opened, and in the
day of the new
moon it shall be
opened.
2 And the
prince shall
enter by the
way of the
porch of that
gate without, and shall
stand by the
post of the
gate, and the
priests shall
prepare his burnt
offering and his peace
offerings, and he shall
worship at the
threshold of the
gate: then he shall go
forth; but the
gate shall not be
shut until the
evening. 3 Likewise the
people of the
land shall
worship at the
door of this
gate before the
LORD in the
sabbaths and in the new
moons. 4 And the burnt
offering that the
prince shall
offer unto the
LORD in the
sabbath day shall be
six lambs without
blemish, and a
ram without
blemish. 5 And the meat
offering shall be an
ephah for a
ram, and the meat
offering for the
lambs as he shall be
able to
give, and an
hin of
oil to an
ephah. 6 And in the
day of the new
moon it shall be a
young bullock without
blemish, and
six lambs, and a
ram: they shall be without
blemish. 7 And he shall
prepare a meat
offering, an
ephah for a
bullock, and an
ephah for a
ram, and for the
lambs according as his
hand shall
attain unto, and an
hin of
oil to an
ephah. 8 And when the
prince shall
enter, he shall
go in by the
way of the
porch of that
gate, and he shall go
forth by the
way thereof.
9 But when the
people of the
land shall
come before the
LORD in the solemn
feasts, he that
entereth in by the
way of the
north gate to
worship shall go
out by the
way of the
south gate; and he that
entereth by the
way of the
south gate shall go
forth by the
way of the
north gate: he shall not
return by the
way of the
gate whereby he came
in, but shall go
forth over
against it.
10 And the
prince in the
midst of them, when they go
in, shall go
in; and when they go
forth, shall go
forth.
11 And in the
feasts and in the
solemnities the meat
offering shall be an
ephah to a
bullock, and an
ephah to a
ram, and to the
lambs as he is
able to
give, and an
hin of
oil to an
ephah. 12 Now when the
prince shall
prepare a
voluntary burnt
offering or peace
offerings voluntarily unto the
LORD, one shall then
open him the
gate that
looketh toward the
east, and he shall
prepare his burnt
offering and his peace
offerings, as he
did on the
sabbath day: then he shall go
forth; and
after his going
forth one shall
shut the
gate. 13 Thou shalt
daily prepare a burnt
offering unto the
LORD of a
lamb of the
first year without
blemish: thou shalt
prepare it
every morning. 14 And thou shalt
prepare a meat
offering for it every
morning, the sixth
part of an
ephah, and the third
part of an
hin of
oil, to temper
with the fine
flour; a meat
offering continually by a
perpetual ordinance unto the
LORD. 15 Thus shall they
prepare the
lamb, and the meat
offering, and the
oil, every
morning for a
continual burnt
offering. 16 Thus
saith the
Lord GOD; If the
prince give a
gift unto
any of his
sons, the
inheritance thereof shall be 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 his to the
year of
liberty; after it shall
return to the
prince: but his
inheritance shall be his
sons' for them.
18 Moreover the
prince shall not
take of the
people's inheritance by
oppression, to
thrust them out of their
possession; but he shall give his
sons inheritance out of his own
possession: that my
people be not
scattered every
man from his
possession. 19 After he
brought me through the
entry, which was at the
side of the
gate, into the
holy chambers of the
priests, which
looked toward the
north: and, behold, there was a
place on the two
sides westward. 20 Then
said he 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; that they
bear them not out into the
utter court, to
sanctify the
people. 21 Then he brought me
forth into the
utter court, and caused me to pass
by the
four corners of the
court; and, behold, in
every corner of the
court there was a
court. 22 In the
four corners of the
court there were
courts joined of
forty cubits
long and
thirty broad: these
four corners were of
one measure. 23 And there was a
row of building round
about in them, round
about them
four, and it was
made with boiling
places under the
rows round
about. 24 Then
said he unto me, These are the
places of them that
boil, where the
ministers of the
house shall
boil the
sacrifice of the
people.
