< Ezekiel 46 >

1 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall remain locked the six working days; but on the sabbath day shall it be opened, and on the new-moon day shall it be opened.
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh [the] gate of the courtyard inner which faces east it will be shut [the] six [the] days of work and on [the] day of the sabbath it will be opened and on [the] day of the new moon it will be opened.
2 And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, from without, and shall stand by the door-post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings, and he shall bow himself down at the threshold of the gate, and he shall then go forth; but the gate shall not be locked until the evening.
And he will go the prince [the] way of [the] porch of the gate from outside and he will stand at [the] doorpost of the gate and they will offer the priests burnt offering his and peace offerings his and he will bow down at [the] threshold of the gate and he will go out and the gate not it will be shut until the evening.
3 And the people of the land shall bow themselves down at the door of this same gate on the sabbaths and on the new-moons before the Lord.
And they will bow down [the] people of the land [the] entrance of the gate that on the sabbaths and on the new moons before Yahweh.
4 And the burnt-offering which the prince is to offer unto the Lord, shall be on the sabbath-day six sheep without blemish, and a ram without blemish;
And the burnt offering which he will bring near the prince to Yahweh on [the] day of the sabbath [will be] six lambs unblemished and a ram unblemished.
5 And as a meat-offering an ephah for the ram, and for the sheep a meat-offering as his hand may be able to give, and a hin of oil for every ephah.
And a grain offering [will be] an ephah for the ram and for the lambs a grain offering [will be] [the] gift of hand his and oil a hin to the ephah.
6 And on the day of the new moon, a young bullock without blemish, and six sheep and a ram; without blemish shall they be.
And on [the] day of the new moon a young bull a young one of cattle unblemished and six lambs and a ram unblemished they will be.
7 And an ephah for the bullock, and an ephah for the ram, shall he prepare as a meat-offering, and for the sheep according as his means may reach, and a hin of oil for every ephah.
And an ephah for the young bull and an ephah for the ram he will provide a grain offering and for the lambs just as it will reach hand his and oil a hin to the ephah.
8 And when the prince doth enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and by the same way shall he go forth.
And when comes the prince [the] way of [the] porch of the gate he will come and by way its he will go out.
9 But when the people of the land come before the Lord on the appointed feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to bow himself down shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth 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 whereby he came in; but by that opposite to him shall he go out.
And when comes [the] people of the land before Yahweh at the appointed times the [one who] comes [the] way of [the] gate of [the] north to bow down he will go out [the] way of [the] gate of [the] south and the [one who] comes [the] way of [the] gate of [the] south he will go out [the] way of [the] gate north-ward not he will return [the] way of the gate which he came by it for opposite it (he will go out. *Q(K)*)
10 And as for the prince—in the midst of them, when they go in, shall he go in; and when they go out, shall they go out [together].
And the prince [will be] in midst of them when come they he will come and when go out they they will go out.
11 And on the feasts and on the appointed festivals shall the meat-offering be an ephah for each bullock, and an ephah for each ram, and for the sheep as his hand may be able to give, and a hin of oil for every ephah.
And at the festivals and at the appointed times it will be the grain offering an ephah for the young bull and an ephah for the ram and for the lambs [the] gift of hand his and oil a hin to the ephah.
12 And when the prince doth prepare as a voluntary gift a burnt-offering, or a peace-offering, as a voluntary gift unto the Lord: then shall be opened for him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt-offering and his peace-offering, as he usually doth on the sabbath-day; and he shall go out, and the gate shall be locked after his going out.
And if he will provide the prince a freewill offering a burnt offering or peace offerings a freewill offering to Yahweh and someone will open for him the gate which faces east and he will offer burnt offering his and peace offerings his just as he will offer on [the] day of the sabbath and he will go out and someone will shut the gate after has gone out he.
13 And a sheep of the first year without blemish shalt thou prepare as a burnt-offering every day unto the Lord: morning by morning shalt thou prepare it.
And a lamb [the] son of year its unblemished you will offer a burnt offering to the day to Yahweh in the morning in the morning you will offer it.
14 And as a meat-offering shalt thou prepare with it, morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third of a hin of oil, to mingle with the fine flour—a meat-offering unto the Lord, as ordinances for ever continually.
And a grain offering you will offer with it in the morning in the morning sixth of ephah and oil third of hin to moisten the fine flour a grain offering to Yahweh statutes of perpetuity continually.
15 Thus shall they prepare the sheep, and the meat-offering, and the oil, morning by morning, as a continual burnt-offering.
(They will offer *Q(K)*) the lamb and the grain offering and the oil in the morning in the morning a burnt offering of continuity.
16 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, If the prince make gift unto any one of his sons, it is his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons: it shall be their possession as their inheritance.
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh if he will give the prince a gift to anyone from sons his [will be] inheritance his it to sons his it will belong [will be] possession their it an inheritance.
17 But if he make a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants: then shall it remain his to the year of freedom, when it shall return to the prince; but his inheritance shall only remain for his sons.
And if he will give a gift from inheritance his to one of servants his and it will belong to him until [the] year of liberty and it will return to the prince surely inheritance his sons his to them it will belong.
18 But the prince shall not take any thing from the inheritance of the people, to wrong them out of their possession: out of his own possession can he give an inheritance to his sons; in order that not one of my people be deprived of his possession.
And not he will take away the prince any of [the] inheritance of the people to oppress them from possession their some of own possession his he will cause to inherit sons his so that that not they will be scattered people my anyone from possession his.
19 And then he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place by the back wall on the west side.
And he brought me in the entrance which [was] at [the] side of the gate to the rooms of holiness to the priests which were facing north-ward and there! [was] there a place (in the remotest parts *Q(K)*) west-ward.
20 And he said unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass-offering and the sin-offering, where [also] they shall bake the meat-offering; so as not to carry the same out into the outer court, to mingle with the people.
And he said to me this [is] the place where they will boil there the priests the guilt offering and the sin offering where they will bake the grain offering to not to take [them] out into the courtyard outer to make holy the people.
21 Then did he lead me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass along the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.
And he brought out me into the courtyard outer and he made pass me to [the] four [the] corners of the courtyard and there! a courtyard [was] in [the] corner of the courtyard a courtyard [was] in [the] corner of the courtyard.
22 In the four corners of the court there were uncovered courts of forty cubits in length and thirty in breadth: there was one measure for all these four in the corners.
[were] in [the] four [the] corners of The courtyard courtyards enclosed [was] forty [cubits] [the] length and [was] thirty [cubits] [the] breadth measurement one [belonged] to [the] four of them set in corners.
23 And there was a shelf of masonry round about in them, round about all these four, and it was furnished with hearths for boiling under the shelves round about.
And a row of stones [was] all around in them around to [the] four of them and boiling places [was] made under the rows of stones all around.
24 Then said he unto me, These are the places of those that boil, where the servants of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
And he said to me these [are] [the] house of those [who] boil where they will boil there [those who] serve the house [the] sacrifice of the people.
