Ezekiel 46
The Prince’s Offerings
1‘Thus says the Lord ▼▼ Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord , and so throughout the ch
God, “The bgate of the cinner court facing east shall be dshut the six eworking days; but it shall be opened on the fsabbath day and opened on the day of the gnew moon. 2“The hprince shall enter by way of the porch of the gate from outside and stand by the ipost of the gate. Then the priests shall provide his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate and then go out; but the gate shall not be jshut until the evening. 3“The kpeople of the land shall also worship at the doorway of that gate before the Lord on the sabbaths and on the lnew moons. 4“The mburnt offering which the prince shall offer to the Lord on the sabbath day shall be nsix lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish; 5and the ograin offering shall be an ephah ▼▼ Lit for
with the ram, and the grain offering ▼▼ Lit for
with the lambs ▼▼ Lit a gift of his hand
as much as he is sable to give, and a hin of oil ▼▼ Lit for
with an ephah. 6“On the day of the unew moon he shall offer a young bull without blemish, also six lambs and a ram, which shall be without blemish. 7“And he shall provide a vgrain offering, an ephah ▼▼ Lit for
with the bull and an ephah ▼▼ Lit for
with the ram, and ▼▼ Lit for
with the lambs as ▼▼ Lit his hand can reach
much as he is aaable, and a hin of oil ▼▼ Lit for
with an ephah. 8“When the acprince enters, he shall go in by way of the porch of the gate and go out ▼▼ Lit by its way
by the same way. 9“But when the people of the land come aebefore the Lord at the appointed feasts, he who enters by way of the north gate to worship shall go out by way of the south gate. And he who enters by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the north gate. ▼▼ Lit He shall not
No one shall return by way of the gate by which he entered but shall go straight out. 10“When they go in, the prince shall go in agamong them; and when they go out, ▼▼ So with many mss and the ancient versions; M.T. they
he shall go out. 11“At the aifestivals and the appointed feasts the ajgrain offering shall be an ephah ▼▼ Lit for
with a bull and an ephah ▼▼ Lit for
with a ram, and ▼▼ Lit for
with the lambs as ▼▼ Lit a gift of his hand
much as one is able to give, and a hin of oil ▼▼ Lit for
with an ephah. 12“When the prince provides a apfreewill offering, a burnt offering, or peace offerings as a freewill offering to the Lord, the gate facing east shall be aqopened for him. And he shall provide his burnt offering and his peace offerings as he does on the arsabbath day. Then he shall go out, and the gate shall be shut after he goes out. 13“And you shall provide a aslamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering to the Lord daily; atmorning by morning you shall provide it. 14“Also you shall provide a grain offering with it morning by morning, a ausixth of an ephah and a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour, a grain offering to the Lord continually by a perpetual ▼▼ Lit statute
ordinance. 15“Thus they shall provide the lamb, the grain offering and the oil, morning by morning, for a awcontinual burnt offering.” 16‘Thus says the Lord God, “If the prince gives a axgift out of his inheritance to any of his sons, 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 be his until the ayyear of liberty; then it shall return to the prince. His inheritance shall be only his sons’; it shall belong to them. 18“The prince shall aznot take from the people’s inheritance, ▼▼ Lit oppressing
,
bbthrusting them out of their possession; he shall give his sons inheritance from his own possession so that My people will not be scattered, anyone from his possession.”’” The Boiling Places
19Then he brought me through the bcentrance, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which faced north; and behold, there was a place at the extreme rear toward the west. 20He said to me, “This is the place where the priests shall boil the bdguilt offering and the sin offering and where they shall bebake the grain offering, in order that they may not bring them out into the outer court to transmit holiness to the people.” 21Then he brought me out into the outer court and led me across to the four corners of the court; and behold, in every corner of the court there was a small court. 22In the four corners of the court there were enclosed courts, forty cubits long and thirty wide; these four in the corners were ▼▼ Lit one measure
the same size. 23There was a row of masonry round about in them, around the four of them, and boiling places were made under the rows round about. 24Then he said to me, “These are the boiling ▼▼ Lit houses
places where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifices of the people.”
