Ezekiel 46

1.THus ſaith the Lord God, The gate of the inner court, that turneth towarde the Eaſt, ſhalbe ſhut the ſix working daies: but on the Sabbath it ſhalbe opened, and in the daye of the new moone it ſhal be opened.
2.And the prince ſhal entre by the waye of the porche of that gate without, and ſhal ſtand by the poſte of the gate, & ye Prieſts ſhal make his burnt offring, and his peace offrings, & he ſhal worſhip at the threſholde of the gate: after, he ſhal go forthe, but the gate ſhal not be ſhut til the euening.
3.Likewise the people of the land ſhal worſhip at the entrie of this gate before the Lord on the Sabbaths, and in the new moones.
4.And the burnt offring that the prīce ſhal offre vnto the Lord on the Sabbáth daye, ſhalbe ſix lambs without blemiſh, & a ram without blemiſh.
5.And the meat offring ſhalbe an Epháh for a ram: and the meat offring for the lambes aa gift of his hand, and an Hin of oyle to an Epháh.
6.And in the daye of the new moone it ſhal be a yong bullocke without blemiſh, and ſix lambs and a ram: they ſhalbe without blemiſh.
7.And he ſhal prepare a meat offring, euen an Epháh for a bullocke, and an Epháh for a ram, and for the lambes according as his hand ſhal bring, and an Hin of oyle to an Epháh.
8.And when the prince ſhal entre, he ſhal go in by the way of the porche of that gate, & he ſhal go forthe by the way thereof.
9.But when the people of the land ſhal come before the Lord in the ſolemne feaſts, he that entreth in by the way of ye North gate to worſhip, ſhal go out by the way of the South gate: and he that entreth by the way of the South gate, ſhal go forthe by the way of the North gate: he ſhal not returne by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but they ſhal go forthe ouer againſt it.
10.And the prince ſhalbe in the middes of them: he ſhal go in when they go in, & whē thei go forthe, they ſhal go forthe together.
11.And in the feaſts, and in the ſolemnities the meat offring ſhalbe an Epháh to a bullocke, and an Epháh to a ram, and to the lambs, the gift of his hand, and an Hin of oyle to an Epháh.
12.Now when the prince ſhal make a fre burnt offring or peace offrings frely vnto the Lord, one ſhal then open him the gate, yt turneth toward the Eaſt, and he ſhal make his burnt offring and his peace offrings, as he did on the Sabbáth day: after, he ſhal go forthe, and when he is gone forthe, one ſhal ſhut the gate.
13.Thou ſhalt daiely make a burnt offring vnto the Lord of a lābe of one yere without blemiſh: thou ſhalt do it euery morning.
14.And thou ſhalt prepare a meat offring for it euery morning, the ſixt parte of an Epháh, and the third parte of an Hin of oyle, to mingle with the fine floure: this meat offring ſhalbe continually by a perpetual ordinance vnto the Lord.
15.Thus ſhal they prepare the lambe, and the meat offring and the oyle euery morning, for a continual burnt offring.
16.¶ Thus ſaith the Lord God, If the prince giue a gift of his inheritance vnto any of his ſonnes, it ſhalbe his ſonnes, & it ſhal be their poſſeſsion by inheritance.
17.But if he giue a gift of his inheritance to one of his ſeruants, then it ſhalbe his to the yere of libertie: after, it ſhal returne to the prince, but his inheritance ſhal remaine to his ſonnes for them.
18.Moreouer the prince ſhal not take of the peoples inheritance, nor thruſt them out of their poſſeſsion: but he ſhal cauſe his ſonnes to inherit of his owne poſſeſsion, that my people be not ſcattered euery man from his poſſeſsion.
19.¶ After, he broght me through the entrie, which was at the ſide of the gate, into the holy chambers of the Prieſts, which ſtode toward the North: and beholde, there was a place at the Weſt ſide of them.
20.Then ſaid he vnto me, This is the place where the Prieſts ſhal ſeeth the treſpaſſe offring and the ſinne offring, where they ſhal bake the meat offring, that thei ſhulde not beare them into the vtter court, to ſanctifie the people.
21.Then he broght me forthe into the vtter court, and cauſed me to go by the foure corners of the court: and beholde, in euery corner of the court, there was a court.
22.In the foure corners of the court there were courtes ioyned of fortie cubites long, and thirtie broad: theſe foure corners were of one meaſure.
23.And there went a wall about them, euen about thoſe foure, and kitchins were made vnder the walles rounde about.
24.Then ſaid he vnto me, This is the kitchin where the miniſters of the houſe ſhal ſeeth the ſacrifice of the people.
