Ezekiel 46
|
1 |
Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward
the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it
shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be
opened.
|
2 |
And the prince shall enter by the way of
the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post
of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and
his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the
gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until
the evening.
|
3 |
Likewise the people of the land shall
worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.
|
4 |
And the burnt offering that the prince
shall offer unto the LORD in the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without
blemish.
|
5 |
And the meat offering shall be an
ephah for a ram, and the meat offering for the lambs as he shall be
able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
|
6 |
And in the day of the new moon it
shall be a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a
ram: they shall be without blemish.
|
7 |
And he shall prepare a meat offering, an
ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs
according as his hand shall attain unto, and a hin of oil to an
ephah.
|
8 |
And when the prince shall enter, he shall
go in by the way of the porch of that gate, and he shall go
forth by the way thereof.
|
9 |
But when the people of the land shall
come before the LORD in the solemn feasts, he
that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go
out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of
the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall
not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go
forth over against it.
|
10 |
And the prince in the midst of them, when
they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go
forth.
|
11 |
And in the feasts and in the
solemnities the meat offering shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an
ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of
oil to an ephah.
|
12 |
Now when the prince shall prepare a
voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto the
LORD, one shall then open him the gate
that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt
offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then
he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut
the gate.
|
13 |
Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt
offering unto the LORD of a lamb of the
first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every
morning.
|
14 |
And thou shalt prepare a meat offering
for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part
of a hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a meat offering
continually by a perpetual ordinance unto the LORD.
|
15 |
Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the
meat offering, and the oil, every morning for a continual
burnt offering.
|
16 |
Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons,
the inheritance thereof shall be his sons'; it shall be their
possession by inheritance.
|
17 |
But if he give a gift of his inheritance
to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; Lev. 25.10 after, it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance
shall be his sons' for them.
|
18 |
Moreover the prince shall not take of the
people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their
possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his
own possession; that my people be not scattered every man from his
possession.
|
19 |
After he brought me through the entry,
which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of
the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place on the two sides westward.
|
20 |
Then said he unto me, This is the
place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin
offering, where they shall bake the meat offering; that they bear them not out into the outer court, to sanctify the
people.
|
21 |
Then he brought me forth into the outer
court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and,
behold, in every corner of the court there was a
court.
|
22 |
In the four corners of the court there
were courts joined of forty cubits long and thirty broad:
these four corners were of one measure.
|
23 |
And there was a row of
building round about in them, round about them four, and it
was made with boiling places under the rows round
about.
|
24 |
Then said he unto me, These are the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the house shall
boil the sacrifice of the people.
