Sacrifices at Appointed Times

1 "This is what the Lord God says: The gate of the inner court that faces east must be closed during the six days of work, but it will be opened on the Sabbath day[a] and opened on the day of the New Moon.
2 The prince should enter from the outside by way of the gate's portico and stand at the doorpost of the gate while the priests sacrifice his burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. He will bow in worship at the threshold of the gate and then depart, but the gate must not be closed until evening.
3 The people of the land will also bow in worship before the Lord at the entrance of that gate on the Sabbaths and New Moons.[b]
4 "The burnt offering that the prince presents to the Lord on the Sabbath day is to be six unblemished lambs and an unblemished ram.
5 The grain offering will be half a bushel[c] with the ram, and the grain offering with the lambs will be whatever he wants to give, as well as a gallon[d] of oil for every half bushel.
6 On the day of the New Moon, [the burnt offering] is to be a young, unblemished bull, as well as six lambs and a ram without blemish.
