Ezekiel 46:4-12

4 "The ¹burnt offering which the prince shall offer to the LORD on the sabbath day shall be ²six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish;

5 and the ³grain offering shall be an ephah with the ram, and the grain offering with the lambs as much as he is ⁴able to give, and a hin of oil with an ephah.

6 "On the day of the ⁵new moon he shall offer a young bull without blemish, also six lambs and a ram, which shall be without blemish.

7 "And he shall provide a ⁶grain offering, an ephah with the bull and an ephah with the ram, and with the lambs as much as he is ⁷able *, and a hin of oil with an ephah.

8 "When the ⁸prince 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 ⁹before 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 ¹⁰among them; and when they go out, he shall go out.

11 "At the ¹¹festivals and the appointed feasts the ¹²grain 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 ¹³freewill offering, a burnt offering, or peace offerings as a freewill offering to the LORD, the gate facing east shall be ¹⁴opened for him. And he shall provide his burnt offering and his peace offerings as he does on the ¹⁵sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and the gate shall be shut after he goes out.
