Ezekiel 46

(CLV) Ezekiel 46

1 Thus said the Lord Yahweh: "The gate of the inner court that is looking eastward is shut the six days of work, and on the day of rest it is opened, and in the day of the new moon it is opened; 2 and come in has the prince the way of the porch of the gate at the outside, and he has stood by the post of the gate, and the priests have made his burnt-offering, and his peace-offerings, and he has bowed himself by the opening of the gate, and has gone forth, and the gate is not shut till the evening. 3 And bowed themselves have the people of the land at the opening of that gate, on sabbaths, and on new moons, before Yahweh. 4 And the burnt-offering that the prince brings near to Yahweh on the day of rest [is] six lambs, perfect ones, and a ram, a perfect one. 5 And the present [is] an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs a present, the gift of his hand, and of oil a hin for an ephah. 6 And on the day of the new moon a bullock, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and six lambs and a ram, they are perfect. 7 And with an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, he prepares a present, and for the lambs as his hand attains, and of oil a hin for an ephah. 8 And in the coming in of the prince, the way of the porch of the gate he comes in, and by its way he goes out. 9 And in the coming in of the people of the land before Yahweh at appointed times, he who has come in the way of the north gate to bow himself, goes out the way of the south gate, and he who has come in the way of the south gate, goes out by the way of the north gate: he does not turn back the way of the gate by which he came in, but over-against it he goes out. 10 And the prince in their midst in their coming in comes in, and in their going out he goes out. 11 And in feasts, and in appointed times, the present is an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for lambs the gift of his hand, and of oil a hin for an ephah. 12 And when the prince makes a free-will burnt-offering, or free-will peace-offerings, to Yahweh, then he has opened for himself the gate that is looking eastward, and he has made his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings as he does in the day of rest, and he has gone out, and he has shut the gate after his going out. 13 And a lamb, son of a year, a perfect one, you do make a burnt-offering daily to Yahweh; morning by morning you do make it. 14 And a present you do make for it morning by morning, a sixth part of the ephah, and of oil a third part of the hin, to temper with the fine flour, a present to Yahweh, by a statute eonian - continually; 15 and prepare you the lamb, and the present, and the oil, morning by morning, a continual burnt-offering. 16 Thus said the Lord Yahweh: When the prince gives a gift to any of his sons, his inheritance it [is], to his sons it [is]; their possession it [is] by inheritance. 17 And when he gives a gift out of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it has been to him till the year of freedom, and it has turned back to the prince, only the inheritance of his sons is theirs. 18 And the prince does not take of the inheritance of the people to oppress them, out of their possession, out of his own possession he does cause his sons to inherit, so that My people are not scattered each from his possession." 19 And he brings me in through the entrance that [is] by the side of the gate, unto the holy chambers, unto the priests, that are looking northward, and lo, there [is] a place in their two sides westward. 20 And he said unto me, "This [is] the place where the priests do boil the guilt-offering and the sin-offering, where they bake the present, so as not to bring [it] out unto the outer court, to sanctify the people." 21 And he brings me out unto the outer court, and causes me to pass over unto the four corners of the court, and lo, a court in a corner of the court, a court in a corner of the corner. 22 In the four corners of the court [are] perfume courts, forty long, and thirty broad, one measure [is] to the four corners. 23 And a row [is] round about in them, round about to them four, and made with boilers under the rows round about. 24 And he said unto me, "These [are] the houses of those boiling where the ministrants of the house boil the sacrifice of the people."
