Hiezechielis Prophetæ 46
1 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Porta atrii interioris, quae respicit ad Orientem, erit clausa sex diebus, in quibus opus fit: die autem Sabbati aperietur, sed et in die Calendarum aperietur.
This is what the Lord has said: The doorway of the inner square looking to the east is to be shut on the six working days; but on the Sabbath it is to be open, and at the time of the new moon it is to be open.
2 Et intrabit princeps per viam vestibuli portae deforis, et stabit in limine portae: et facient sacerdotes holocaustum eius, et pacifica eius: et adorabit super limen portae, et egredietur: porta autem non claudetur usque ad vesperam.
And the ruler is to go in through the covered way of the outer doorway outside, and take his place by the pillar of the doorway, and the priests will make his burned offering and his peace-offerings and he will give worship at the doorstep of the doorway; then he will go out, and the door will not be shut till the evening.
3 Et adorabit populus terrae ad ostium portae illius in Sabbatis, et in Calendis coram Domino.
And the people of the land are to give worship at the door of that doorway before the Lord on the Sabbaths and at the new moons.
4 Holocaustum autem hoc offeret princeps Domino: in die Sabbati sex agnos immaculatos, et arietem immaculatum.
And the burned offering offered to the Lord by the ruler on the Sabbath day is to be six lambs without a mark on them and a male sheep without a mark;
5 Et sacrificium ephi per arietem: in agnis autem sacrificium quod dederit manus eius: et olei hin per singula ephi.
And the meal offering is to be an ephah for the sheep, and for the lambs whatever he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
6 In die autem Calendarum vitulum de armento immaculatum: et sex agni, et arietes immaculati erunt.
And at the time of the new moon it is to be a young ox of the herd without a mark on him, and six lambs and a male sheep, all without a mark:
7 Et ephi per vitulum, ephi quoque per arietem faciet sacrificium: de agnis autem, sicut invenerit manus eius: et olei hin per singula ephi.
And he is to give a meal offering, an ephah for the ox and an ephah for the sheep, and for the lambs whatever he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
8 Cumque ingressurus est princeps, per viam vestibuli portae ingrediatur, et per eamdem viam exeat.
And when the ruler comes in, he is to go in through the covered way of the doorway, and he is to go out by the same way.
9 Et cum intrabit populus terrae in conspectu Domini in sollemnitatibus: qui ingreditur per portam Aquilonis, ut adoret, egrediatur per viam portae Meridianae: porro qui ingreditur per viam portae Meridianae, egrediatur per viam portae Aquilonis: non revertetur per viam portae, per quam ingressus est, sed e regione illius egredietur.
But when the people of the land come before the Lord at the fixed feasts, he who comes in by the north doorway to give worship is to go out by the south doorway; and he who comes in by the south doorway is to go out by the north doorway: he is not to come back by the doorway through which he went in, but is to go straight before him.
10 Princeps autem in medio eorum cum ingredientibus ingredietur, et cum egredientibus egredietur.
And the ruler, when they come in, is to come among them, and is to go out when they go out.
11 Et in nundinis, et in sollemnitatibus erit sacrificium ephi per vitulum, et ephi per arietem: de agnis autem erit sacrificium sicut invenerit manus eius: et olei hin per singula ephi.
At the feasts and the fixed meetings the meal offerings are to be an ephah for an ox, and an ephah for a male sheep, and for the lambs whatever he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
12 Cum autem fecerit princeps spontaneum holocaustum, aut pacifica voluntaria Domino: aperietur ei porta, quae respicit ad Orientem, et faciet holocaustum suum, et pacifica sua, sicut fieri solet in die sabbati: et egredietur, claudeturque porta postquam exierit.
And when the ruler makes a free offering, a burned offering or a peace-offering freely given to the Lord, the doorway looking to the east is to be made open for him, and he is to make his burned offering and his peace-offerings as he does on the Sabbath day: and he will go out; and the door will be shut after he has gone out.
13 Et agnum eiusdem anni immaculatum faciet holocaustum quotidie Domino: semper mane faciet illud.
And you are to give a lamb a year old without any mark on it for a burned offering to the Lord every day: morning by morning you are to give it.
14 Et faciet sacrificium super eo cata mane mane sextam partem ephi, et de oleo tertiam partem hin, ut misceatur similae: sacrificium Domino legitimum, iuge atque perpetuum.
And you are to give, morning by morning, a meal offering with it, a sixth of an ephah and a third of a hin of oil dropped on the best meal; a meal offering offered to the Lord at all times by an eternal order.
15 Faciet agnum, et sacrificium, et oleum cata mane mane, holocaustum sempiternum.
And they are to give the lamb and the meal offering and the oil, morning by morning, for a burned offering at all times.
16 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Si dederit princeps domum alicui de filiis suis: hereditas eius, filiorum suorum erit, possidebunt eam hereditarie.
This is what the Lord has said: If the ruler gives a property to any of his sons, it is his heritage and will be the property of his sons; it is theirs for their heritage.
17 Si autem dederit legatum de hereditate sua uni servorum suorum, erit illius usque ad annum remissionis, et revertetur ad principem: hereditas autem eius, filiis eius erit.
And if he gives a part of his heritage to one of his servants, it will be his till the year of making free, and then it will go back to the ruler; for it is his sons' heritage, and is to be theirs.
18 Et non accipiet princeps de hereditate populi per violentiam, et de possessione eorum: sed de possessione sua hereditatem dabit filiis suis: ut non dispergatur populus meus unusquisque a possessione sua.
And the ruler is not to take the heritage of any of the people, driving them out of their property; he is to give a heritage to his sons out of the property which is his: so that my people may not be sent away from their property.
19 Et introduxit me per ingressum, qui erat ex latere portae, in gazophylacia sanctuarii ad sacerdotes, quae respiciebant ad Aquilonem: et erat ibi locus vergens ad Occidentem.
And he took me through by the way in at the side of the doorway into the holy rooms which are the priests', looking to the north: and I saw a place at the side of them to the west.
20 Et dixit ad me: Iste est locus ubi coquent sacerdotes pro peccato, et pro delicto: ubi coquent sacrificium, ut non efferant in atrium exterius, et sanctificetur populus.
And he said to me, This is the place where the offering for error and the sin-offering are to be cooked in water by the priests, and where the meal offering is to be cooked in the oven; so that they may not be taken out into the outer square to make the people holy.
21 Et eduxit me in atrium exterius, et circumduxit me per quattuor angulos atrii: et ecce atriolum erat in angulo atrii, atriola singula per angulos atrii.
And he took me out into the outer square and made me go by the four angles of the square; and I saw that in every angle of the open square there was a space shut in.
22 In quattuor angulis atrii atriola disposita, quadraginta cubitorum per longum, et triginta per latum: mensurae unius quattuor erant.
In the four angles there were spaces walled in, forty cubits long and thirty wide; the four were of the same size.
23 Et paries per circuitum ambiens quattuor atriola: et culinae fabricatae erant subter porticus per gyrum.
And there was a line of wall all round inside them, round all four, and boiling-places were made under it all round about.
24 Et dixit ad me: Haec est domus culinarum, in qua coquent ministri domus Domini victimas populi.
And he said to me, These are the boiling-rooms, where the offering of the people is cooked by the servants of the house.
