8 "When the 1prince enters, he shall go in by way of the porch of the gate and go out by the same way.
9 "But when the people of the land come 2before 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 by which he entered but shall go straight out.
10 "When they go in, the prince shall go in 3among them; and when they go out, he shall go out.
11 "At the 4festivals and the appointed feasts the 5grain offering shall be an ephah with a bull and an ephah with a ram, and with the lambs as much as one is able to give, and a hin of oil with an ephah.
12 "When the prince provides a 6freewill offering, a burnt offering, or peace offerings as a freewill offering to the LORD, the gate facing east shall be 7opened for him. And he shall provide his burnt offering and his peace offerings as he does on the 8sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and the gate shall be shut after he goes out.
13 "And you shall provide a 9lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering to the LORD daily; 10morning by morning you shall provide it.
14 "Also you shall provide a grain offering with it morning by morning, a 11sixth of an ephah and a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour, a grain offering to the LORD continually by a perpetual ordinance.
15 "Thus they shall provide the lamb, the grain offering and the oil, morning by morning, for a 12continual burnt offering."
16 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "If the prince gives a 13gift out of his inheritance to any of his sons, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance.
17 "But if he gives a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until the 14year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince. His inheritance shall be only his sons'; it shall belong to them.
18 "The prince shall 15not take from the people's inheritance, 16thrusting them out of their possession; he shall give his sons inheritance from his own possession so that My people will not be scattered, anyone from his possession.""'
