court facing east shall be shut the six working days; but it shall be opened on
the sabbath day and opened on the day of the new moon. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 46:2
|
|
"The prince shall enter by way of the porch
of the gate from outside and stand by the post 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 shut until the
evening. |
| |
|
|
|

"The people of the land shall also worship at
the doorway of that gate before the LORD on the sabbaths and on the new moons. |
| |
|
|

|
"The burnt offering which the prince shall offer
to the LORD on the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish and a ram without
blemish; |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 46:5
|
|
and the grain offering shall be an ephah with
the ram, and the grain offering with the lambs as much as he is able to give,
and a hin of oil with an ephah. |
| |
|
|

|
"And he shall provide a grain offering, an ephah
with the bull and an ephah with the ram, and with the lambs as much as he is able,
and a hin of oil with an ephah. |
|
|

of the porch of the gate and go out by the same way. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 46:9
|
|
"But when the people of the land come before
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. No one shall return by way of the gate
by which he entered but shall go straight out. |
|
|
|
|

|
|
"When they go in, the prince shall go in among
them; and when they go out, he shall go out. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 46:11
|
|
"At the festivals and the appointed feasts the
grain offering shall be an ephah with a bull and an ephah with a ram, and with
the lambs as much as one is able to give, and a hin of oil with an ephah. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 46:12
|
|
"When the prince provides a freewill offering,
a burnt offering, or peace offerings as a freewill offering to the LORD, the gate
facing east shall be opened for him. And he shall provide his burnt offering and
his peace offerings as he does on the sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and the
gate shall be shut after he goes out. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 46:13
|
|
"And you shall provide a lamb a year old without
blemish for a burnt offering to the LORD daily; morning by morning you shall provide
it. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 46:14
|
|
"Also you shall provide a grain offering 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 the LORD continually by a perpetual ordinance.
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 46:15
|
|
"Thus they shall provide the lamb, the grain
offering and the oil, morning by morning, for a continual burnt offering." |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 46:16
|
|
'Thus says the Lord GOD, "If the prince gives
a gift out of his inheritance to any of his sons, it shall belong to his sons;
it is their possession by inheritance. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 46:17
|
|
"But if he gives a gift from his inheritance
to one of his servants, it shall be his until the year of liberty; then it shall
return to the prince. His inheritance shall be only his sons'; it shall belong
to them. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 46:18
|
|
"The prince shall not take from the people's
inheritance, thrusting 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 |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 46:19
|
|
Then he brought me through the entrance, 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. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 46:20
|
|
He said to me, "This is the place where the
priests shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering and where they shall
bake the grain offering, in order that they may not bring them out into the outer
court to transmit holiness to the people." |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 46:21
|
|
Then 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. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 46:22
|
|
In the four corners of the court there were
enclosed courts, forty cubits long and thirty wide; these four in the corners
were the same size. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 46:23
|
|
There was a row of masonry round about in them,
around the four of them, and boiling places were made under the rows round about.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 46:24
|
|
Then he said to me, "These are the boiling places
where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifices of the people." |
