Ezekiel

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.
