The Prince and the Festivals

46The Sovereign LORD says, "The east gateway to the inner courtyard must be kept closed during the six working days, but it is to be opened on the Sabbath and at the New Moon Festival.H559H136H3069H8179H6442H2691H6437H6921H5462H8337H4639H3117H7676H3117H6605H3117H2320H6605 2The ruling prince will go from the outer courtyard into the entrance room of the gateway and stand beside the posts of the gate while the priests burn his sacrifices whole and offer his fellowship offerings. There at the gate he must worship and then go back out. The gate must not be shut until evening.H5387H935H1870H197H8179H2351H5975H4201H8179H3548H6213H5930H8002H7812H4670H8179H3318H8179H5462H6153 3Each Sabbath and each New Moon Festival all the people are also to bow down and worship the LORD in front of the gate.H5971H776H7812H6607H8179H6440H3068H7676H2320 4On the Sabbath the prince is to bring to the LORD, as sacrifices to be burned whole, six lambs and one ram, all without any defects.H5930H5387H7126H3068H7676H3117H8337H3532H8549H352H8549 5With each ram he is to bring an offering of half a bushel of grain, and with each lamb he is to bring whatever he wants to give. For each half-bushel of grain offering he is to bring three quarts of olive oil.H4503H374H352H4503H3532H3027H4991H1969H8081H374 6At the New Moon Festival he will offer a young bull, six lambs, and a ram, all without any defects.H3117H2320H1121H1241H6499H8549H8337H3532H352H8549 7With each bull and each ram the offering is to be half a bushel of grain, and with each lamb the offering is to be whatever the prince wants to give. Three quarts of olive oil are to be offered with each half-bushel of grain.H6213H4503H374H6499H374H352H3532H3027H5381H1969H8081H374 8The prince must leave the entrance room of the gateway and go out by the same way he went in.H5387H935H935H1870H197H8179H3318H1870 9"When the people come to worship the LORD at any festival, those who enter by the north gate are to leave by the south gate after they have worshiped, and those who enter by the south gate are to leave by the north gate. No one may go out by the same way he entered, but must leave by the opposite gate.H5971H776H935H6440H3068H4150H935H1870H6828H8179H7812H3318H1870H5045H8179H935H1870H5045H8179H3318H1870H6828H8179H7725H1870H8179H935H3318H5226 10The prince is to come in when the people come, and leave when they leave.H5387H8432H935H935H3318H3318 11On the feast days and at the festivals the grain offering will be half a bushel with each bull or ram, and whatever the worshiper wants to give with each lamb. Three quarts of olive oil are to be offered with each half-bushel of grain.H2282H4150H4503H374H6499H374H352H3532H3027H4991H1969H8081H374 12"When the ruling prince wants to make a voluntary offering to the LORD, either an offering to be burned whole or a fellowship offering, the east gate to the inner courtyard will be opened for him. He is to make the offering in the same way he does on the Sabbath, and the gate is to be closed after he goes back out."H5387H6213H5071H5930H8002H5071H3068H6605H8179H6437H6921H6213H5930H8002H6213H7676H3117H3318H310H3318H5462H8179

The Daily Offering

13The LORD says, "Every morning a one-year-old lamb without any defects is to be burned whole as an offering to the LORD. This offering must be made every day.H3117H6213H5930H3068H3532H1121H8141H8549H6213H1242H1242 14Also an offering of five pounds of flour is to be made every morning, along with one quart of olive oil for mixing with the flour. The rules for this offering to the LORD are to be in force forever.H6213H4503H1242H8345H374H7992H1969H8081H7450H5560H4503H8548H5769H2708H3068 15The lamb, the flour, and the olive oil are to be offered to the LORD every morning forever."H6213H6213H3532H4503H8081H1242H8548H5930

The Prince and the Land

16The Sovereign LORD commands: "If the ruling prince gives any of the land he owns to one of his sons as a present, it will belong to that son as a part of his family property.H559H136H3069H5387H5414H4979H376H1121H5159H1121H272H5159 17But if the ruling prince gives any of his land to anyone who is in his service, it will become the prince's property again when the Year of Restoration comes. It belongs to him, and only he and his sons can own it permanently.H5414H4979H5159H259H5650H8141H1865H7725H5387H5159H1121 18The ruling prince must not take any of the people's property away from them. Any land he gives to his sons must be from the land that is assigned to him, so that he will not oppress any of my people by taking their land."H5387H3947H5971H5159H3238H3238H272H1121H5157H272H5971H6327H376H272

The Temple Kitchens

19Then the man took me to the entrance of the rooms facing north near the gate on the south side of the inner courtyard. These are holy rooms for the priests. He pointed out a place on the west side of the roomsH935H3996H3802H8179H6944H3957H3548H6437H6828H4725H3411H3220 20and said, "This is the place where the priests are to boil the meat offered as sacrifices for sin or as repayment offerings, and to bake the offerings of flour, so that nothing holy is carried to the outer courtyard, where it might harm the people."H559H4725H3548H1310H817H2403H644H4503H3318H2435H2691H6942H5971 21Then he led me to the outer courtyard and showed me that in each of its four corners there was a smaller courtyard,H3318H2435H2691H5674H702H4740H2691H4740H4740H2691H2691H2691 2268 feet long and 48 feet wide.H702H4740H2691H2691H7000H705H753H7970H7341H702H7106H259H4060 23Each one had a stone wall around it, with fireplaces built against the wall.H2905H5439H5439H702H6213H4018H2918H5439 24The man told me, "These are the kitchens where the Temple servants are to boil the sacrifices the people offer."H559H1004H1310H8334H1004H1310H2077H5971
