Thus says Adonai Yahuah: “The gate of the inner court that faces east shall be shut during the six days of work. But on the Shabbat day it shall be opened, and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
2
And the ruler shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate from outside and stand beside the doorpost of the gate. And the kohenim shall prepare his ascending offering and his peace offerings. And he shall bow himself at the threshold of the gate. Then he shall go out, but the gate shall not be shut until evening.
3
And the people of the land shall bow themselves at the entrance of that gate before Yahuah on the Shabbatot and on the new moons.
4
And the ascending offering that the ruler shall bring near to Yahuah on the Shabbat day shall be six lambs, whole, and one ram, whole.
5
And the grain offering shall be an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs a grain offering according to what his hand is able to give, and a hin of oil for each ephah.
6
And on the day of the new moon there shall be a young bull, whole, and six lambs, and one ram. They shall be whole.
7
And he shall prepare a grain offering: an ephah for the bull, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according to what his hand can attain, and a hin of oil for each ephah.
8
And when the ruler enters, by the way of the porch of the gate he shall enter, and by its way he shall go out.
9
But when the people of the land come before Yahuah at the appointed times, the one entering by the way of the north gate to bow himself shall go out by the way of the south gate. And the one entering 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 through which he entered, but shall go out straight before him.
10
And the ruler shall be in their midst. When they enter, he shall enter, and when they go out, he shall go out.
11
And at the feasts and at the appointed times, the grain offering shall be an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according to what his hand is able to give, and a hin of oil for each ephah.
12
And when the ruler prepares a voluntary ascending offering or voluntary peace offerings to Yahuah, the gate that faces east shall be opened for him. And he shall prepare his ascending offering and his peace offerings as he does on the Shabbat day. Then he shall go out, and after his going out the gate shall be shut.
13
And a lamb, a son of a year, whole, you shall prepare as an ascending offering to Yahuah day by day. Morning by morning you shall prepare it.
14
And a grain offering you shall prepare with it morning by morning: a sixth of an ephah, and a third of a hin of oil, to moisten the fine flour— a grain offering to Yahuah, an everlasting statute, continually.
15
And they shall prepare the lamb, and the grain offering, and the oil morning by morning as a continual ascending offering.”
16
Thus says Adonai Yahuah: “If the ruler gives a gift to any one of his sons from his Inheritance, it shall belong to his sons. It is their possession by Inheritance.
17
But if he gives a gift from his Inheritance to one of his servants, it shall belong to him until the year of liberty. Then it shall return to the ruler. Only his Inheritance belonging to his sons shall remain theirs.
18
And the ruler shall not take from the Inheritance of the people to force them from their possession. From his own possession he shall give an Inheritance to his sons, so that My people are not scattered, each ish from his possession.”
19
And he brought me through the entrance that was beside the gate into the holy chambers belonging to the kohenim, whose faces were toward the north. And see, there was a place at their extreme end toward the west.
20
And he said to me: “This is the place where the kohenim shall boil the guilt 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 set apart the people.”
21
And he brought me out into the outer court and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court. And see, in every corner of the court there was another court.
22
In the four corners of the court were enclosed courts, forty cubits long and thirty wide. The four corner courts had one measure.
23
And there was a row of masonry all around them, around the four. And boiling places were made beneath the rows all around.
24
And he said to me: “These are the houses of those who boil, where the ministers of the House shall boil the sacrifices of the people.”
