³⁸ “This is what you are to offer on the altar regularly each day:^(A) two lambs a year old. ³⁹ Offer one in the morning and the other at twilight.^{(B) 40} With the first lamb offer a tenth of an ephah^[a] of the finest flour mixed with a quarter of a hin^[b] of oil^(C) from pressed olives, and a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering.^{(D) 41} Sacrifice the other lamb at twilight^(E) with the same grain offering^(F) and its drink offering as in the morning—a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord.

⁴² “For the generations to come^(G) this burnt offering is to be made regularly^(H) at the entrance to the tent of meeting,^(I) before the Lord. There I will meet you and speak to you;^(J)

⁷ “Aaron must burn fragrant incense^(A) on the altar every morning when he tends the lamps. ⁸ He must burn incense again when he lights the lamps at twilight so incense will burn regularly before the Lord for the generations to come.^{(B) 9} Do not offer on this altar any other incense^(C) or any burnt offering or grain offering, and do not pour a drink offering on it.

³ Say to them: ‘This is the food offering you are to present to the Lord: two lambs a year old without defect,^(A) as a regular burnt offering each day.^{(B) 4} Offer one lamb in the morning and the other at twilight,^{(C) 5} together with a grain offering^(D) of a tenth of an ephah^[a] of the finest flour^(E) mixed with a quarter of a hin^[b] of oil^(F) from pressed olives. ⁶ This is the regular burnt offering^(G) instituted at Mount Sinai^(H) as a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord.^{(I) 7} The accompanying drink offering^(J) is to be a quarter of a hin of fermented drink^(K) with each lamb. Pour out the drink offering to the Lord at the sanctuary.^{(L) 8} Offer the second lamb at twilight,^(M) along with the same kind of grain offering and drink offering that you offer in the morning.^(N) This is a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.^(O)

⁴ Then in accordance with what is written, they celebrated the Festival of Tabernacles^(A) with the required number of burnt offerings prescribed for each day. ⁵ After that, they presented the regular burnt offerings, the New Moon^(B) sacrifices and the sacrifices for all the appointed sacred festivals of the Lord,^(C) as well as those brought as freewill offerings to the Lord. ⁶ On the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to the Lord, though the foundation of the Lord’s temple had not yet been laid.

46 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: The gate of the inner court^(A) facing east^(B) is to be shut on the six working days, but on the Sabbath day and on the day of the New Moon^(C) it is to be opened. ² The prince is to enter from the outside through the portico^(D) of the gateway and stand by the gatepost. The priests are to sacrifice his burnt offering^(E) 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.^{(F) 3} On the Sabbaths^(G) and New Moons the people of the land are to worship in the presence of the Lord at the entrance of that gateway.^{(H) 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 The grain offering given with the ram is to be an ephah,^[a] and the grain offering with the lambs is to be as much as he pleases, along with a hin^[b] of olive oil for each ephah.^{(I) 6} On the day of the New Moon^(J) he is to offer a young bull, six lambs and a ram, all without defect.^{(K) 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.^{(L) 8} When the prince enters, he is to go in through the portico^(M) of the gateway, and he is to come out the same way.^(N)

⁹ “‘When the people of the land come before the Lord at the appointed festivals,^(O) 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 The prince is to be among them, going in when they go in and going out when they go out.^{(P) 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.^(Q)

¹² “‘When the prince provides^(R) a freewill offering^(S) 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.^(T)

¹³ “‘Every day you are to provide a year-old lamb without defect for a burnt offering to the Lord; morning by morning^(U) you shall provide it.^{(V) 14} You are also to provide with it morning by morning a grain offering, consisting of a sixth of an ephah^[c] with a third of a hin^[d] of oil^(W) to moisten the flour. The presenting of this grain offering to the Lord is a lasting ordinance.^{(X) 15} So the lamb and the grain offering and the oil shall be provided morning by morning for a regular^(Y) burnt offering.^(Z)

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.^{(AA) 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;^(AB) then it will revert to the prince. His inheritance belongs to his sons only; it is theirs. ¹⁸ The prince must not take^(AC) any of the inheritance^(AD) 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 Then the man brought me through the entrance^(AE) at the side of the gate to the sacred rooms facing north,^(AF) which belonged to the priests, and showed me a place at the western end. ²⁰ He said to me, “This is the place where the priests are to cook the guilt offering and the sin offering^[e] and bake the grain offering, to avoid bringing them into the outer court and consecrating^(AG) the people.”^(AH)

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 outer court were enclosed^[f] courts, forty cubits long and thirty cubits wide;^[g] each of the courts in the four corners was the same size. 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 He said to me, “These are the kitchens where those who minister at the temple are to cook the sacrifices of the people.”
