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.H559H136H3069H5387H5414H4979H376H1121H5159H1121H272H515917But 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.H5414H4979H5159H259H5650H8141H1865H7725H5387H5159H112118The 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 roomsH935H3996H3802H8179H6944H3957H3548H6437H6828H4725H3411H322020and 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."H559H4725H3548H1310H817H2403H644H4503H3318H2435H2691H6942H597121Then he led me to the outer courtyard and showed me that in each of its four corners there was a smaller courtyard,H3318H2435H2691H5674H702H4740H2691H4740H4740H2691H2691H26912268 feet long and 48 feet wide.H702H4740H2691H2691H7000H705H753H7970H7341H702H7106H259H406023Each one had a stone wall around it, with fireplaces built against the wall.H2905H5439H5439H702H6213H4018H2918H543924The man told me, "These are the kitchens where the Temple servants are to boil the sacrifices the people offer."H559H1004H1310H8334H1004H1310H2077H5971
