The sabbath gate

This is what the Lord GOD says: The gate of the inner court that faces east will be shut the six working days. But on the sabbath it'll be opened, and on the day of the new moon it'll be opened. And the prince will come in by the porch of that gate from outside and stand by the post of the gate. And the priests will get his burnt offering and his peace offerings ready, and he'll bow down at the threshold of the gate. Then he'll go out, but the gate won't be shut till evening. And the people of the land will bow down at the door of that gate before the LORD on the sabbaths and on the new moons. And the burnt offering the prince offers to the LORD on the sabbath will be six lambs without fault and a ram without fault. And the grain offering will be an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs a grain offering as he's able to give, and a hin of oil for an ephah. And on the day of the new moon it'll be a young bull without fault, and six lambs and a ram — they'll be without fault. And he'll prepare a grain offering, an ephah for a bull and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as much as he can get, and a hin of oil for an ephah. And when the prince comes in, he'll come in by the porch of that gate, and he'll go out the same way. But when the people of the land come before the LORD at the set feasts, the one who comes in by the north gate to bow down will go out by the south gate, and the one who comes in by the south gate will go out by the north gate. He won't go back by the gate he came in by, but he'll go out straight ahead. And the prince will be among them. When they come in, he'll come in. And when they go out, he'll go out. And at the feasts and the set feasts the grain offering will be an ephah for a bull and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as he's able to give, and a hin of oil for an ephah. Now when the prince gets ready a free offering, a burnt offering or peace offerings freely to the LORD, someone will open him the gate that faces east. And he'll get his burnt offering and his peace offerings ready the way he does on the sabbath day. Then he'll go out, and after he's gone out someone will shut the gate.

This is what the Lord God says: The gate of the inner court that faces east will be shut the six working days. But on the sabbath it'll be opened, and on the day of the new moon it'll be opened. And the leader will come in by the porch of that gate from outside and stand by the post of the gate. And the priests will get his burnt offering and his peace offerings ready, and he'll bow down at the threshold of the gate. Then he'll go out, but the gate won't be shut till evening. And the people of the land will bow down at the door of that gate in front of the Lord on the sabbaths and on the new moons. And the burnt offering the leader offers to the Lord on the sabbath will be six lambs without fault and a ram without fault. And the grain offering will be an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs a grain offering as he's able to give, and a hin of oil for an ephah. And on the day of the new moon it'll be a young bull without fault, and six lambs and a ram — they'll be without fault. And he'll get ready a grain offering, an ephah for a bull and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as much as he can get, and a hin of oil for an ephah. And when the leader comes in, he'll come in by the porch of that gate, and he'll go out the same way. But when the people of the land come in front of the Lord at the set feasts, the one who comes in by the north gate to bow down will go out by the south gate, and the one who comes in by the south gate will go out by the north gate. He won't go back by the gate he came in by, but he'll go out straight ahead. And the leader will be in the middle of them. When they come in, he'll come in. And when they go out, he'll go out. And at the feasts and the set feasts the grain offering will be an ephah for a bull and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as he's able to give, and a hin of oil for an ephah. Now when the leader gets ready a free offering, a burnt offering or peace offerings freely to the Lord, someone will open him the gate that faces east. And he'll get his burnt offering and his peace offerings ready the way he does on the sabbath day. Then he'll go out, and after he's gone out someone will shut the gate.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened. And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening. 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. And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto the LORD in the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish. And the meat offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and the meat offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah. And in the day of the new moon it shall be a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without blemish. And he shall prepare a meat offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall attain unto, and an hin of oil to an ephah. And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of that gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof. But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth 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 whereby he came in, but shall go forth over against it. And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth. And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meat offering shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah. Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto the LORD, one shall then open him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate.
