‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “The ^agate of the ^binner courtyard that faces east shall be ^cshut during the six ^dworking days, but it shall be opened on the ^eSabbath day and opened on the day of the ^fNew Moon. 2 The ^aprince shall enter by the porch (portico) of the gate from outside and stand by the ^bpost of the gate. The priests shall prepare and provide his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship ¹at the threshold of the gate and then go out; but the gate shall not be ^cshut until evening. 3 The ^apeople of the land shall also worship at the entrance of that gate before the LORD on the Sabbaths and on the ^bNew Moons. 4 The ^aburnt offering which the prince shall offer to the LORD on the Sabbath day shall be ^bsix lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish. 5 The ^agrain offering shall be an ephah with the ram, and the grain offering with the lambs as much as he is ^bable to give, and a hin of oil with an ephah. 6 On the day of the ^aNew Moon he shall offer a young bull without blemish, also six lambs and a ram, without blemish. 7 And he shall provide a ^agrain offering, an ephah with the bull and an ephah with the ram, and with the lambs as much as he is ^bable, and a hin of oil with an ephah. 8 When the ^aprince enters, he shall enter by way of the porch of the gate and go out by the same way. 9 But when the people of the land come ^abefore the LORD at the appointed feasts, he who enters by way of the north gate to worship shall go out by way of the south gate. And he who enters by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the north gate. No one shall return by way of the gate through which he entered, but shall go out straight ahead through the opposite gate. Phil 3:13 10 When they go in, the prince shall go in ^aamong them; and when they go out, he shall go out.

11 “At the ^afeasts and the appointed festivals the ^bgrain offering shall be an ephah with a bull and an ephah with a ram, and with the lambs ¹as much as one is able to give, and a hin of oil with an ephah. 12 When the prince provides a ^afreewill offering, a burnt offering, or peace offerings voluntarily to the LORD, the gate that faces east shall be ^bopened for him, and he shall provide his burnt offering and his peace offerings as he does on the ^cSabbath day. Then he shall go out, and after he goes out the gate shall be shut.

13 “And you priests shall provide a ^alamb a year old without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD each day; ^bmorning by morning you shall provide it. 14 Also you shall provide a grain offering with it morning by morning, ^aone-sixth of an ephah with one-third of a hin of oil to sprinkle on the finely-milled flour. This is a perpetual ordinance for a continual grain offering to the LORD. 15 Thus they shall provide the lamb, the grain offering and the oil every morning as a ^acontinual burnt offering.”

16 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “If the prince gives a ^agift to any of his sons from his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons permanently; it is their possession by inheritance. 17 But if he gives a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his until the ^ayear of liberty the Year of Jubilee; after that it shall be returned to the prince. His inheritance shall be only his sons’ permanently; it shall belong to them. 18 Moreover, the prince shall ^anot take from the people’s inheritance by oppression and by ^bevicting them from their property; he shall give his sons an inheritance from his own possession, so that My people will not be scattered, anyone from his possession.”’”

19 Then he my guide brought me through the ^aentrance, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which faced the north; and behold, a place was there at their extreme westward end. 20 He said to me, “This is the place where the priests shall boil (cook) the ^aguilt offering and the sin offering, and where they shall ^bbake the grain offering, so that they do not bring them out into the outer courtyard to transmit holiness to the people.”

21 Then he brought me out into the outer courtyard and led me across to the four corners of the courtyard; and behold, in every corner of the courtyard there was a small courtyard. 22 In the four corners of the courtyard there were enclosed courtyards, forty cubits long and thirty wide; these four in the corners were the same size. 23 There was a row of masonry all around inside them, around each of the four courtyards, and it was made with cooking hearths under the rows all around. 24 Then he said to me, “These are the ¹kitchens of the cooks, where the ministers (Levites) of the temple shall boil (cook) the sacrifices of the people.”
