Ezekiel 46

1 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.

This is what the Lord God says: “The east gate of the inner court is to be kept shut during the six working days, but it shall be opened on the Sabbath and on the day of the New Moon

2 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.

The prince must come through the gateway porch from outside and he will stand by the gatepost, and the priests will sacrifice his burnt offerings and peace offerings. He is to bow in respect at the gate's threshold of the gate and leave, but the gate is not to be shut until evening.

3 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.

The people of Israel will also bow before the Lord at the gateway entrance on Sabbaths and New Moons.

4 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.

The burnt offering that the prince is to offer to the Lord on the Sabbath day shall be six male lambs and a ram, all without defects.

5 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.

The grain offering to accompany the ram shall be one ephah, and the grain offering with the lambs shall be as much as he chooses, together with a hin of olive oil for every ephah of grain.

6 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.

On the day of the New Moon he is to offer a young bull, six lambs, and a ram. They are all to be without defects.

7 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.

He is also to provide a grain offering of an ephah with the bull, an ephah with the ram, and as much as he is chooses with the lambs, together with a hin of olive oil for every ephah of grain.

8 And when comes the prince [the] way of [the] porch of the gate he will come and by way its he will go out.

When the prince enters, he is to come in through the gateway porch, and leave the same way.

9 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)*)

When the people of Israel gather before the Lord at the regular religious festivals, anyone who enters through the north gate to worship has to leave through the south gate, and anyone who enters through the south gate leave through the north gate. No one is allowed to go back through the same gate through which they entered. Everyone must leave by the opposite gate.

10 And the prince [will be] in midst of them when come they he will come and when go out they they will go out.

The prince is to enter when the people do; and leave when they leave.

11 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.

At the religious festivals and regular meetings, the grain offering will be an ephah with a bull, an ephah with a ram, and as much as people choose with the lambs, together with a hin of olive oil for every ephah of grain.

12 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.

When the prince decides to make a freewill offering to the Lord, whether it's a burnt offering or a peace offering, the east gate is to be opened for him. He shall offer his burnt offering or peace offering in the same way he does on the Sabbath. When he leaves, the gate must be closed after him.

13 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.

Every morning a year-old lamb without defects is to be sacrificed as a daily burnt offering to the Lord.

14 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.

Every morning a grain offering of a sixth of an ephah with a third of a hin of olive oil to moisten the best flour is to be provided as a grain offering to the Lord. This regulation is to be followed forever.

15 (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.

Make sure the lamb, the grain offering, and the olive oil is presented every morning as a regular burnt offering.

16 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.

This is what the Lord God says: If the prince gives a gift of property to any of his sons to own, it will belong to his descendants. They will be able to inherit the property.

17 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.

However, if he gives a gift of his property to one of his servants, that servant will only own it until the Jubilee Year. Then ownership will return to the prince. His property that he passes on through inheritance belongs only to his sons—it is theirs.

18 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.

The prince is not to take people's land, driving them off their property. He is to give land to his sons from his own property, so that none of my people shall be evicted from their property.”

19 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.

The man took me through the entrance beside the gate into the north-facing holy rooms that belonged to the priests. He showed me a place at the far western end

20 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.

and told me, “This is where the priests cook guilt offerings and sin offerings, and where they bake the grain offering. This is so that they don't take them to the outer courtyard and carry holiness to the people.”

21 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.

He took me into the outer courtyard and led me to each of its four corners. I saw a separate courtyard in each corner.

22 [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.

There were separate walled courtyards in the four corners of the outer courtyard. They each measured forty cubits by thirty cubits—they were all the same size.

23 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.

Each of the four courts had a stone ledge with ovens built into the base of the walls on every side.

24 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.

He told me, “These are the kitchens where those who serve in the Temple will cook the people's sacrificial offerings.”
