Forsooth if he giveth a bequest of his heritage to one of his servants, it shall be his till to the year of remission, and it shall turn again to the prince; forsooth the heritage of him shall be to his sons. (But if he giveth a bequest of his inheritance, that is, a gift of his estate, to one of his servants, or to one of his slaves, it shall be his only until the Year of Remission, or the Year of Restoration, and then it shall return to the prince; for his inheritance, or his estate, shall only be for his sons.)
18
And the prince shall not take by violence of the heritage of the people, and of the possession of them; but of his own possession he shall give heritage to his sons, that my people be not scattered, each man from his possession. (And the prince shall not take by violence any of the people's inheritance, or any of their possessions; but out of his own possessions he shall give an inheritance to his sons, so that my people be not scattered, each person from his own possession.)

And he led me in by the entering, that was on the side of the gate, into the chambers of the saintuary to the priests, which chambers beheld to the north; and there was a place going to the west. (And he led me in by the entrance, that was by the side of the gate, into the rooms of the sanctuary, or of the Temple, for the priests, which rooms faced north; and there was a place on the western side.)
20
And he said to me, This is the place where (the) priests shall seethe, both for sin [of doing,] and for trespass [of leaving (undone)]; where they shall seethe (the) sacrifice, that they bear (it) not out into the outermore foreyard, and the people be hallowed. (And he said to me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the offerings, both for the sin of doing, and for the trespass of leaving undone; yea, where they shall boil the sacrifice, so that they do not carry it out into the outer courtyard, and then the people be made holy/and then the people be harmed.)
21
And he led me out into the outermore foreyard, and led me about by the four corners of the foreyard; and lo! a little foreyard was in the corner of the foreyard, all little foreyards by the corners of the foreyard; (And he led me out into the outer courtyard, and led me about by the four corners of the courtyard; and lo! in each corner of the courtyard was a smaller courtyard;)
22
in four corners of the foreyard little foreyards were disposed, of forty cubits by length, and of thirty by breadth; four were of one measure; (yea, in the four corners of the courtyard were placed smaller courtyards, that were forty cubits in length, and thirty cubits in breadth; all four had the same measurements;)
23
and a wall by compass went about (the) four little foreyards; and kitchens were made under the porches by compass. (and a wall went all around the four smaller courtyards; and kitchens were made against the porches all around.)
24
And he said to me, This is the house of (the) kitchens, in which the ministers of the house of the Lord shall seethe the sacrifice of the people. (And he said to me, These are the kitchens for the Temple, in which the ministers, or the servants, of the House of the Lord shall boil the people's sacrifices.)
