The Prince, Feast, and Offerings

1 ‘Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068, “The gate ^H8179 of the inner ^H6442 court ^H2691 facing ^H6437 east ^H6921 shall be shut ^H5462 the six ^H8337 working ^H4639 days ^H3117; but it shall be opened ^H6605 on the sabbath ^H7676 day ^H3117 and opened ^H6605 on the day ^H3117 of the new ^H2320 moon ^H2320.

2 Then the prince ^H5387 shall enter ^H935 by way ^H1870 of the porch ^H197 of the gate ^H8179 from outside ^H2351 and stand ^H5975 by the post ^H4201 of the gate ^H8179. Then the priests ^H3548 shall provide ^H6213 his burnt ^H5930 offering ^H5930 and his peace ^H8002 offerings ^H8002, and he shall worship ^H2331 at the threshold ^H4670 of the gate ^H8179 and then go ^H3318 out ^H3318; but the gate ^H8179 shall not be shut ^H5462 until ^H5704 the evening ^H6153. 3 And the people ^H5971 of the land ^H776 shall also worship ^H2331 at the entrance ^H6607 of that gate ^H8179 before ^H6440 Yahweh ^H3068 on the sabbaths ^H7676 and on the new ^H2320 moons ^H2320. 4 Now the burnt ^H5930 offering ^H5930 which ^H834 the prince ^H5387 shall bring ^H7126 near ^H7126 to Yahweh ^H3068 on the sabbath ^H7676 day ^H3117 shall be six ^H8337 lambs ^H3532 without ^H8549 blemish ^H8549 and a ram ^H352 without ^H8549 blemish ^H8549; 5 and the grain offering ^H4503 shall be an ephah ^H374 [fn]with the ram ^H352, and the grain offering ^H4503 with the lambs ^H3532 shall be a gift ^H4991 from his hand ^H3027, as well as a [fn]hin ^H1969 of oil ^H8081 with an ephah ^H374. 6 And on the day ^H3117 of the new ^H2320 moon ^H2320 he shall offer a bull ^H6499 from the herd ^H1121 H1241 without ^H8549 blemish ^H8549, also six ^H8337 lambs ^H3532 and a ram ^H352, which shall be without ^H8549 blemish ^H8549. 7 And he shall [fn]provide ^H6213 a grain offering ^H4503, an ephah ^H374 with the bull ^H6499 and an ephah ^H374 with the ram ^H352, and with the lambs ^H3532 as [fn]much ^H3027 as he is able ^H5381 H3027, and a hin ^H1969 of oil ^H8081 with an ephah ^H374. 8 And when the prince ^H5387 enters ^H935, he shall go ^H935 in ^H935 by way ^H1870 of the porch ^H197 of the gate ^H8179 and go ^H3318 out ^H3318 [fn]by the same way ^H1870. 9 But when the people ^H5971 of the land ^H776 come ^H935 before ^H6440 Yahweh ^H3068 at the appointed ^H4150 times ^H4150, he who enters ^H935 by way ^H1870 of the north ^H6828 gate ^H8179 to worship ^H2331 shall go ^H3318 out ^H3318 by way ^H1870 of the south ^H5045 gate ^H8179. And he who enters ^H935 by way ^H1870 of the south ^H5045 gate ^H8179 shall go ^H3318 out ^H3318 by way ^H1870 of the north ^H6828 gate ^H8179. [fn]No ^H3808 one shall return ^H7725 by way ^H1870 of the gate ^H8179 by which ^H834 he entered ^H935 but shall go ^H3318 straight ^H3318 out ^H3318. 10 So when they go ^H935 in ^H935, the prince ^H5387 shall go ^H935 in ^H935 among ^H8432 them; and when they go ^H3318 out ^H3318, [fn]he shall go ^H3318 out ^H3318.

11 “Now at the feasts ^H2282 and the appointed ^H4150 times ^H4150 the grain offering ^H4503 shall be an [fn]ephah ^H374 with a bull ^H6499 and an ephah ^H374 with a ram ^H352, and with the lambs ^H3532 shall be a gift ^H4991 from his hand ^H3027, as well as a hin ^H1969 of oil ^H8081 with an ephah ^H374. 12 And when ^H3588 the prince ^H5387 provides ^H6213 a freewill ^H5071 offering ^H5071, a burnt ^H5930 offering ^H5930, or ^H176 peace ^H8002 offerings ^H8002 as a freewill ^H5071 offering ^H5071 to Yahweh ^H3068, the gate ^H8179 facing ^H6437 east ^H6921 shall be opened ^H6605 for him. And he shall provide ^H6213 his burnt ^H5930 offering ^H5930 and his peace ^H8002 offerings ^H8002 as he does ^H6213 on the sabbath ^H7676 day ^H3117. Then he shall go ^H3318 out ^H3318, and the gate ^H8179 shall be shut ^H5462 after ^H310 he goes ^H3318 out ^H3318.

13 “And you shall provide ^H6213 a lamb ^H3532 a year ^H8141 old ^H1121 without ^H8549 blemish ^H8549 for a burnt ^H5930 offering ^H5930 to Yahweh ^H3068 daily ^H3117; morning ^H1242 by morning ^H1242 you shall provide ^H6213 it. 14 Also you shall provide ^H6213 a grain offering ^H4503 with it morning ^H1242 by morning ^H1242—a sixth ^H8345 of an ephah ^H374 as well as a third ^H7992 of a hin ^H1969 of oil ^H8081 to moisten ^H7450 the fine ^H5560 flour ^H5560—a grain offering ^H4503 to Yahweh ^H3068 continually ^H8548 by a perpetual ^H5769 statute ^H2708. 15 Thus they shall provide ^H6213 the lamb ^H3532, the grain offering ^H4503, and the oil ^H8081, morning ^H1242 by morning ^H1242, for a continual ^H8548 burnt ^H5930 offering ^H5930.”

16 ‘Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068, “If ^H3588 the prince ^H5387 gives ^H5414 a gift ^H4979 out of his inheritance ^H5159 to any ^H376 of his sons ^H1121, it shall belong ^H1961 to his sons ^H1121; it is their possession ^H272 by inheritance ^H5159. 17 But if ^H3588 he gives ^H5414 a gift ^H4979 from his inheritance ^H5159 to one ^H259 of his servants ^H5650, it shall be his until ^H5704 the year ^H8141 of liberty ^H1865; then it shall return ^H7725 to the prince ^H5387. His inheritance ^H5159 shall be only ^H389 his sons’ ^H1121; it shall belong ^H1961 to them. 18 Now the prince ^H5387 shall not take ^H3947 from the people’s ^H5971 inheritance ^H5159, mistreating ^H3238 them out of their possession ^H272; he shall give ^H5157 his sons ^H1121 inheritance ^H5157 from his own possession ^H272 so ^H4616 that My people ^H5971 will not be scattered ^H6327, anyone ^H376 from his possession ^H272.”’”

The Boiling Places

19 Then he brought ^H935 me through the entrance ^H3996, which was at the side ^H3802 of the gate ^H8179, into the holy ^H6944 chambers ^H3957 for the priests ^H3548, which faced ^H6437 north ^H6828; and behold ^H2009, there ^H8033 was a place ^H4725 at the extreme ^H3411 rear ^H3411 toward the west ^H3220.

20 Then he said ^H559 to me, “This ^H2088 is the place ^H4725 where ^H834 H8033 the priests ^H3548 shall boil ^H1310 the guilt ^H817 offering ^H817 and the sin ^H2403 offering ^H2403 and where ^H834 they shall bake ^H644 the grain offering ^H4503, in order that they may not bring ^H3318 them out ^H3318 into the outer ^H2435 court ^H2691 to transmit ^H6942 holiness ^H6942 to the people ^H5971.”

21 Then he brought ^H3318 me out ^H3318 into the outer ^H2435 court ^H2691 and had ^H5674 me pass ^H5674 through to the four ^H702 corners ^H4740 of the court ^H2691; and behold ^H2009, in every ^H4740 corner ^H4740 of the court ^H2691 there was a small court ^H2691. 22 In the four ^H702 corners ^H4740 of the court ^H2691 there were enclosed ^H7000 courts ^H2691, [fn]forty ^H705 cubits long ^H753 and thirty ^H7970 wide ^H7341; these four ^H702 in the corners ^H7106 were [fn]the same ^H259 size ^H4060. 23 Now there was a row ^H2905 of masonry round ^H5439 about ^H5439 in them, around ^H5439 the four ^H702 of them, and boiling ^H4018 places ^H4018 were made ^H6213 under ^H8478 the rows ^H2918 round ^H5439 about ^H5439. 24 Then he said ^H559 to me, “These ^H428 are the boiling ^H1310 [fn]places ^H1004 where ^H834 H8033 the ministers ^H8334 of the house ^H1004 shall boil ^H1310 the sacrifices ^H2077 of the people ^H5971.”
