New International Version NIV
1 Thus hath the Lord GOD said: The gate of the inner court that looks toward the east shall be shut the six working days; and the day of the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the same manner it shall be opened the day of the new moon.
1
“ ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: The gate of the inner court facing east is to be shut on the six working days, but on the Sabbath day and on the day of the New Moon it is to be opened.
2 And the prince shall enter from outside by the way of the porch of <em>that</em> gate and shall stand by the threshold of the gate (while the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings), and he shall worship at the entrance of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.
2
The prince is to enter from the outside through the portico of the gateway and stand by the gatepost. The priests are to sacrifice his burnt offering and his fellowship offerings. He is to bow down in worship at the threshold of the gateway and then go out, but the gate will not be shut until evening.
3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.
3
On the Sabbaths and New Moons the people of the land are to worship in the presence of the LORD at the entrance of that gateway.
4 And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto the LORD in the day of the sabbath <em>shall be</em> six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.
4
The burnt offering the prince brings to the LORD on the Sabbath day is to be six male lambs and a ram, all without defect.
5 And the present <em>shall be</em> an ephah <em>of fine flour</em> for each ram and the present for each lamb as he shall be able to give, and a hin of oil for each ephah.
5
The grain offering given with the ram is to be an ephah, and the grain offering with the lambs is to be as much as he pleases, along with a hin of olive oil for each ephah.
6 But in the day of the new moon <em>it shall be</em> a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish.
6
On the day of the New Moon he is to offer a young bull, six lambs and a ram, all without defect.
7 And he shall prepare a present of an ephah <em>of fine flour</em> with the calf, and <em>another</em> ephah with each ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall attain unto, and a hin of oil with each ephah.
7
He is to provide as a grain offering one ephah with the bull, one ephah with the ram, and with the lambs as much as he wants to give, along with a hin of oil for each ephah.
8 And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of <em>that</em> gate, and he shall go forth by the <em>same</em> way thereof.
8
When the prince enters, he is to go in through the portico of the gateway, and he is to come out the same way.
9 But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the solemn feasts, he that enters in by the way of the north gate <em>to worship</em> shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that enters by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate; he shall not return by the way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go forth opposite it.
9
“ ‘When the people of the land come before the LORD at the appointed festivals, whoever enters by the north gate to worship is to go out the south gate; and whoever enters by the south gate is to go out the north gate. No one is to return through the gate by which they entered, but each is to go out the opposite gate.
10 And the prince, when they go in, he shall go in, in the midst of them; and when they go forth, he shall go forth.
10
The prince is to be among them, going in when they go in and going out when they go out.
11 And in the feasts and in the solemnities the present shall be an ephah <em>of fine flour</em> with each calf, and another ephah with <em>each</em> ram, and with the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil with <em>each</em> ephah.
11
At the feasts and the appointed festivals, the grain offering is to be an ephah with a bull, an ephah with a ram, and with the lambs as much as he pleases, along with a hin of oil for each ephah.
12 Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto the LORD, they shall open him the gate that looks toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he does on the day of the Sabbath; then he shall go forth; and after his going forth they shall shut the gate.
12
“ ‘When the prince provides a freewill offering to the LORD—whether a burnt offering or fellowship offerings—the gate facing east is to be opened for him. He shall offer his burnt offering or his fellowship offerings as he does on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and after he has gone out, the gate will be shut.
13 Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the LORD <em>of</em> a lamb of the first year without blemish; thou shalt prepare it each morning.
13
“ ‘Every day you are to provide a year-old lamb without defect for a burnt offering to the LORD; morning by morning you shall provide it.
14 And thou shalt prepare a present with it each morning, the sixth part of an ephah <em>of fine flour</em>, and the third part of a hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; <em>this shall be</em> a present for the LORD continually by <em>a</em> perpetual ordinance.
14
You are also to provide with it morning by morning a grain offering, consisting of a sixth of an ephah with a third of a hin of oil to moisten the flour. The presenting of this grain offering to the LORD is a lasting ordinance.
15 Thus shall they prepare the lamb and the present and the oil each morning <em>for</em> a continual burnt offering.
15
So the lamb and the grain offering and the oil shall be provided morning by morning for a regular burnt offering.
16 Thus hath the Lord GOD said: If the prince gives a gift of his inheritance unto any of his sons, it <em>shall be</em> theirs; the possession thereof <em>shall be</em> by inheritance.
16
“ ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: If the prince makes a gift from his inheritance to one of his sons, it will also belong to his descendants; it is to be their property by inheritance.
17 But if he gives a gift of his inheritance to one of his slaves, then it shall be his until the year of liberty; when it shall return to the prince; but his inheritance shall be his sons’ for them.
17
If, however, he makes a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, the servant may keep it until the year of freedom; then it will revert to the prince. His inheritance belongs to his sons only; it is theirs.
18 And the prince shall take nothing from the people’s inheritance, that he not defraud them of their possession; <em>but</em> he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession that my people not be scattered each one from his possession.
18
The prince must not take any of the inheritance of the people, driving them off their property. He is to give his sons their inheritance out of his own property, so that not one of my people will be separated from their property.’ ”
19 After he brought me through the entry, which <em>was</em> at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward the north; and, behold, there <em>was</em> a place on the two sides westward.
19
Then the man brought me through the entrance at the side of the gate to the sacred rooms facing north, which belonged to the priests, and showed me a place at the western end.
20 Then he said unto me, This <em>is</em> the place where the priests shall boil that <em>which was offered as</em> guilt and that <em>which was offered as</em> sin, where they shall bake the present; that they not bear <em>them</em> out into the outer court, to sanctify the people.
20
He said to me, “This is the place where the priests are to cook the guilt offering and the sin offering and bake the grain offering, to avoid bringing them into the outer court and consecrating the people.”
21 Then he brought me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in each corner of the court <em>there was</em> a patio.
21
He then brought me to the outer court and led me around to its four corners, and I saw in each corner another court.
22 In the four corners of the court <em>there were</em> patios joined of forty <em>cubits</em> long and thirty broad; these four corners <em>were</em> of one measure.
22
In the four corners of the outer court were enclosed courts, forty cubits long and thirty cubits wide; each of the courts in the four corners was the same size.
23 And <em>there was</em> a wall round about in them, round about those four, and <em>it was</em> made with fire places all around the palaces.
23
Around the inside of each of the four courts was a ledge of stone, with places for fire built all around under the ledge.
24 Then said he unto me, These <em>are</em> the quarters of the cooks, where the servers of the house shall cook the sacrifice of the people.
24
He said to me, “These are the kitchens where those who minister at the temple are to cook the sacrifices of the people.”
