Ἰεζεκιήλ 46
1 τάδε λέγει κύριος θεός πύλη ἡ ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῇ ἐσωτέρᾳ ἡ βλέπουσα πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ἔσται κεκλεισμένη ἓξ ἡμέρας τὰς ἐνεργούς ἐν δὲ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων ἀνοιχθήσεται καὶ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς νουμηνίας ἀνοιχθήσεται
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 καὶ εἰσελεύσεται ὁ ἀφηγούμενος κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ αιλαμ τῆς πύλης τῆς ἔξωθεν καὶ στήσεται ἐπὶ τὰ πρόθυρα τῆς πύλης καὶ ποιήσουσιν οἱ ἱερεῖς τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ τοῦ σωτηρίου αὐτοῦ καὶ προσκυνήσει ἐπὶ τοῦ προθύρου τῆς πύλης καὶ ἐξελεύσεται καὶ ἡ πύλη οὐ μὴ κλεισθῇ ἕως ἑσπέρας
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 καὶ προσκυνήσει ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς κατὰ τὰ πρόθυρα τῆς πύλης ἐκείνης ἐν τοῖς σαββάτοις καὶ ἐν ταῖς νουμηνίαις ἐναντίον κυρίου
The people of Israel will also bow before the Lord at the gateway entrance on Sabbaths and New Moons.
4 καὶ τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα προσοίσει ὁ ἀφηγούμενος τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων ἓξ ἀμνοὺς ἀμώμους καὶ κριὸν ἄμωμον
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 καὶ μαναα πέμμα τῷ κριῷ καὶ τοῖς ἀμνοῖς θυσίαν δόμα χειρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλαίου τὸ ιν τῷ πέμματι
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 καὶ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς νουμηνίας μόσχον ἄμωμον καὶ ἓξ ἀμνούς καὶ κριὸς ἄμωμος ἔσται
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 καὶ πέμμα τῷ κριῷ καὶ πέμμα τῷ μόσχῳ ἔσται μαναα καὶ τοῖς ἀμνοῖς καθὼς ἐὰν ἐκποιῇ ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλαίου τὸ ιν τῷ πέμματι
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 καὶ ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι τὸν ἀφηγούμενον κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ αιλαμ τῆς πύλης εἰσελεύσεται καὶ κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης ἐξελεύσεται
When the prince enters, he is to come in through the gateway porch, and leave the same way.
9 καὶ ὅταν εἰσπορεύηται ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς ἐναντίον κυρίου ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς βορρᾶν προσκυνεῖν ἐξελεύσεται κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς νότον καὶ ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς νότον ἐξελεύσεται κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς βορρᾶν οὐκ ἀναστρέψει κατὰ τὴν πύλην ἣν εἰσελήλυθεν ἀλλ’ ἢ κατ’ εὐθὺ αὐτῆς ἐξελεύσεται
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 καὶ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς εἰσελεύσεται μετ’ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐκπορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς ἐξελεύσεται
The prince is to enter when the people do; and leave when they leave.
11 καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς πανηγύρεσιν ἔσται τὸ μαναα πέμμα τῷ μόσχῳ καὶ πέμμα τῷ κριῷ καὶ τοῖς ἀμνοῖς καθὼς ἂν ἐκποιῇ ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλαίου τὸ ιν τῷ πέμματι
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 ἐὰν δὲ ποιήσῃ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος ὁμολογίαν ὁλοκαύτωμα σωτηρίου τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ ἀνοίξει ἑαυτῷ τὴν πύλην τὴν βλέπουσαν κατ’ ἀνατολὰς καὶ ποιήσει τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ τοῦ σωτηρίου αὐτοῦ ὃν τρόπον ποιεῖ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων καὶ ἐξελεύσεται καὶ κλείσει τὰς θύρας μετὰ τὸ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτόν
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 καὶ ἀμνὸν ἐνιαύσιον ἄμωμον ποιήσει εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμα καθ’ ἡμέραν τῷ κυρίῳ πρωὶ ποιήσει αὐτόν
Every morning a year-old lamb without defects is to be sacrificed as a daily burnt offering to the Lord.
14 καὶ μαναα ποιήσει ἐπ’ αὐτῷ τὸ πρωὶ ἕκτον τοῦ μέτρου καὶ ἐλαίου τὸ τρίτον τοῦ ιν τοῦ ἀναμεῖξαι τὴν σεμίδαλιν μαναα τῷ κυρίῳ πρόσταγμα διὰ παντός
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 ποιήσετε τὸν ἀμνὸν καὶ τὸ μαναα καὶ τὸ ἔλαιον ποιήσετε τὸ πρωὶ ὁλοκαύτωμα διὰ παντός
Make sure the lamb, the grain offering, and the olive oil is presented every morning as a regular burnt offering.
16 τάδε λέγει κύριος θεός ἐὰν δῷ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος δόμα ἑνὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς κληρονομίας αὐτοῦ τοῦτο τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ ἔσται κατάσχεσις ἐν κληρονομίᾳ
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 ἐὰν δὲ δῷ δόμα ἑνὶ τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ ἕως τοῦ ἔτους τῆς ἀφέσεως καὶ ἀποδώσει τῷ ἀφηγουμένῳ πλὴν τῆς κληρονομίας τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ αὐτοῖς ἔσται
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 καὶ οὐ μὴ λάβῃ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος ἐκ τῆς κληρονομίας τοῦ λαοῦ καταδυναστεῦσαι αὐτούς ἐκ τῆς κατασχέσεως αὐτοῦ κατακληρονομήσει τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ ὅπως μὴ διασκορπίζηται ὁ λαός μου ἕκαστος ἐκ τῆς κατασχέσεως αὐτοῦ
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 καὶ εἰσήγαγέν με εἰς τὴν εἴσοδον τῆς κατὰ νώτου τῆς πύλης εἰς τὴν ἐξέδραν τῶν ἁγίων τῶν ἱερέων τὴν βλέπουσαν πρὸς βορρᾶν καὶ ἰδοὺ τόπος ἐκεῖ κεχωρισμένος
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 καὶ εἶπεν πρός με οὗτος ὁ τόπος ἐστίν οὗ ἑψήσουσιν ἐκεῖ οἱ ἱερεῖς τὰ ὑπὲρ ἀγνοίας καὶ τὰ ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας καὶ ἐκεῖ πέψουσι τὸ μαναα τὸ παράπαν τοῦ μὴ ἐκφέρειν εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐξωτέραν τοῦ ἁγιάζειν τὸν λαόν
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 καὶ ἐξήγαγέν με εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐξωτέραν καὶ περιήγαγέν με ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα μέρη τῆς αὐλῆς καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐλὴ κατὰ τὸ κλίτος τῆς αὐλῆς αὐλὴ κατὰ τὸ κλίτος τῆς αὐλῆς
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 ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα κλίτη τῆς αὐλῆς αὐλὴ μικρά μῆκος πηχῶν τεσσαράκοντα καὶ εὖρος πηχῶν τριάκοντα μέτρον ἓν ταῖς τέσσαρσιν
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 καὶ ἐξέδραι κύκλῳ ἐν αὐταῖς κύκλῳ ταῖς τέσσαρσιν καὶ μαγειρεῖα γεγονότα ὑποκάτω τῶν ἐξεδρῶν κύκλῳ
Each of the four courts had a stone ledge with ovens built into the base of the walls on every side.
24 καὶ εἶπεν πρός με οὗτοι οἱ οἶκοι τῶν μαγειρείων οὗ ἑψήσουσιν ἐκεῖ οἱ λειτουργοῦντες τῷ οἴκῳ τὰ θύματα τοῦ λαοῦ
He told me, “These are the kitchens where those who serve in the Temple will cook the people's sacrificial offerings.”
