ASV_Strong : Ezekiel 46
1. Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]: The gate[H8179] of the inner[H6442] court[H2691] that looketh[H6437] toward the east[H6921] shall be shut[H5462] the six[H8337] working[H4639] days[H3117]; but on the sabbath[H7676] day it shall be opened[H6605], and on the day[H3117] of the new moon[H2320] it shall be opened[H6605].
2. And the prince[H5387] shall enter[H935] by the way[H1870] of the porch[H197] of the gate[H8179] without[H2351], and shall stand[H5975] by the post[H4201] of the gate[H8179]; and the priests[H3548] shall prepare[H6213] his burnt-offering[H5930] and his peace-offerings[H8002], and he shall worship[H7812] at the threshold[H4670] of the gate[H8179]: then he shall go forth[H3318]; but the gate[H8179] shall not be shut[H5462] until the evening[H6153].
3. And the people[H5971] of the land[H776] shall worship[H7812] at the door[H6607] of that gate[H8179] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068] on the sabbaths[H7676] and on the new moons[H2320].
4. And the burnt-offering[H5930] that the prince[H5387] shall offer[H7126] unto Jehovah[H3068] shall be on the sabbath[H7676] day[H3117] six[H8337] lambs[H3532] without blemish[H8549] and a ram[H352] without blemish[H8549];
5. and the meal-offering[H4503] shall be an ephah[H374] for the ram[H352], and the meal-offering[H4503] for the lambs[H3532] as he is able[H3027] to give[H4991], and a hin[H1969] of oil[H8081] to an ephah[H374].
6. And on the day[H3117] of the new moon[H2320] it shall be a young[H1121] bullock[H6499] without blemish[H8549], and six[H8337] lambs[H3532], and a ram[H352]; they shall be without blemish[H8549]:
7. and he shall prepare[H6213] a meal-offering[H4503], an ephah[H374] for the bullock[H6499], and an ephah[H374] for the ram[H352], and for the lambs[H3532] according as he[H3027] is able[H5381], and a hin[H1969] of oil[H8081] to an ephah[H374].
8. And when the prince[H5387] shall enter[H935], he shall go[H935] in by the way[H1870] of the porch[H197] of the gate[H8179], and he shall go forth[H3318] by the way thereof[H1870].
9. But when the people[H5971] of the land[H776] shall come[H935] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068] in the appointed feasts[H4150], he that entereth[H935] by the way[H1870] of the north[H6828] gate[H8179] to worship[H7812] shall go forth[H3318] by the way[H1870] of the south[H5045] gate[H8179]; and he that entereth[H935] by the way[H1870] of the south[H5045] gate[H8179] shall go forth[H3318] by the way[H1870] of the north[H6828] gate[H8179]: he shall not return[H7725] by the way[H1870] of the gate[H8179] whereby he came in[H935], but shall go forth[H3318] straight before him[H5226].
10. And the prince[H5387], when they go in[H935], shall go in[H935] in the midst[H8432] of them[H3318]; and when they go forth, they shall go forth together[H3318].
11. And in the feasts[H2282] and in the solemnities[H4150] the meal-offering[H4503] shall be an ephah[H374] for a bullock[H6499], and an ephah[H374] for a ram[H352], and for the lambs[H3532] as he is able[H3027] to give[H4991], and a hin[H1969] of oil[H8081] to an ephah[H374].
12. And when the prince[H5387] shall prepare[H6213] a[H5071] freewill-offering[H5930], a burnt-offering[H5930] or peace-offerings[H8002] as a freewill-offering[H5071] unto Jehovah[H3068], one shall open[H6605] for him the gate[H8179] that looketh[H6437] toward the east[H6921]; and he shall prepare[H6213] his burnt-offering[H5930] and his peace-offerings[H8002], as he doth on the sabbath[H7676] day[H3117]: then he shall go forth[H3318]; and after[H310] his going forth[H3318] one shall shut[H5462] the gate[H8179].
13. And thou shalt prepare[H6213] a lamb[H3532] a[H1121] year[H8141] old without blemish[H8549] for a burnt-offering[H5930] unto Jehovah[H3068] daily[H3117]: morning[H1242] by morning[H1242] shalt thou prepare it[H6213].
14. And thou shalt prepare[H6213] a meal-offering[H4503] with it morning[H1242] by morning[H1242], the sixth part[H8345] of an ephah[H374], and the third part[H7992] of a hin[H1969] of oil[H8081], to moisten the fine flour[H5560]; a meal-offering[H4503] unto Jehovah[H3068] continually[H8548] by a perpetual[H5769] ordinance[H2708].
15. Thus shall they prepare[H6213] the lamb[H3532], and the meal-offering[H4503], and the oil[H8081], morning by morning[H1242], for a continual[H8548] burnt-offering[H5930].
16. Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H136]: If the prince[H5387] give[H5414] a gift[H4979] unto any[H376] of his sons[H1121], it is his inheritance[H5159], it shall belong to his sons[H1121]; it is their possession[H272] by inheritance[H5159].
17. But if he give[H5414] of his inheritance[H5159] a gift[H4979] to one[H259] of his servants[H5650], it shall be his to the year[H8141] of liberty[H1865]; then it shall return[H7725] to the prince[H5387]; but as for his inheritance[H5159], it shall be for his sons[H1121].
18. Moreover the prince[H5387] shall not take[H3947] of the people[H5971]'s inheritance[H5159], to[H3238] thrust[H3238] them out of their possession[H272]; he shall give inheritance[H5157] to his sons[H1121] out of his own possession[H272], that my people[H5971] be not scattered[H6327] every man[H376] from his possession[H272].
19. Then he brought[H935] me through the entry[H3996], which was at the side[H3802] of the gate[H8179], into the holy[H6944] chambers[H3957] for the priests[H3548], which looked[H6437] toward the north[H6828]: and[H4725], behold, there was a place on the hinder part[H3411] westward[H3220].
20. And he said[H559] unto me[H4725], This is the place where the priests[H3548] shall boil[H1310] the trespass-offering[H2403] and the sin-offering[H817], and where they shall bake[H644] the meal-offering[H2403]; that they bring[H3318] them not forth into the outer[H2435] court[H2691], to sanctify[H6942] the people[H5971].
21. Then he brought me forth[H3318] into the outer[H2435] court[H2691], and caused me to pass by[H5674] the four[H702] corners[H4740] of the court[H2691]; and[H4740], behold, in every corner[H4740] of the court[H2691] there was a court[H2691].
22. In the four[H702] corners[H4740] of the court[H2691] there were courts[H2691] inclosed[H7000], forty[H705] cubits long[H753] and thirty[H7970] broad[H7341]: these four[H702] in the corners[H7106] were of one[H259] measure[H4060].
23. And there was a wall[H2905] round about[H5439] in them[H5439], round about the four[H702], and boiling-places[H4018] were made[H6213] under the walls[H2918] round about[H5439].
24. Then said[H559] he unto me[H1310], These are the boiling - houses[H1004], where the ministers[H8334] of the house[H1004] shall boil[H1310] the sacrifice[H2077] of the people[H5971].
