以西结书 46
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
君王献祭之例
46 ‘主耶和华如此说：内院朝东的门在办理事务的六日内必须关闭，唯有安息日和月朔必须敞开。 2 王要从这门的廊进入，站在门框旁边。祭司要为他预备燔祭和平安祭，他就要在门槛那里敬拜，然后出去。这门直到晚上不可关闭。 3 在安息日和月朔，国内的居民要在这门口，耶和华面前敬拜。 4 安息日，王所献于耶和华的燔祭要用无残疾的羊羔六只，无残疾的公绵羊一只。 5 同献的素祭要为公绵羊献一伊法细面，为羊羔照他的力量而献，一伊法细面加油一欣。
6 ‘当月朔，要献无残疾的公牛犊一只，羊羔六只，公绵羊一只，都要无残疾的。 7 他也要预备素祭，为公牛献一伊法细面，为公绵羊献一伊法细面，为羊羔照他的力量而献，一伊法细面加油一欣。 8 王进入的时候，必由这门的廊而入，也必由此而出。
庶民献祭之例
9 ‘在各节期，国内居民朝见耶和华的时候，从北门进入敬拜的必由南门而出，从南门进入的必由北门而出。不可从所入的门而出，必要直往前行，由对门而出。 10 民进入，王也要在民中进入；民出去，王也要一同出去。 11 在节期和圣会的日子同献的素祭，要为一只公牛献一伊法细面，为一只公绵羊献一伊法细面，为羊羔照他的力量而献，一伊法细面加油一欣。 12 王预备甘心献的燔祭或平安祭，就是向耶和华甘心献的，当有人为他开朝东的门。他就预备燔祭和平安祭，与安息日预备的一样，献毕就出去。他出去之后，当有人将门关闭。
13 ‘每日你要预备无残疾、一岁的羊羔一只，献于耶和华为燔祭，要每早晨预备。 14 每早晨也要预备同献的素祭，细面一伊法六分之一，并油一欣三分之一，调和细面。这素祭要常献于耶和华为永远的定例。 15 每早晨要这样预备羊羔、素祭并油为常献的燔祭。
王子承业之例
16 ‘主耶和华如此说：王若将产业赐给他的儿子，就成了他儿子的产业，那是他们承受为业的。 17 倘若王将一份产业赐给他的臣仆，就成了他臣仆的产业，到自由之年仍要归于王。至于王的产业，必归于他的儿子。 18 王不可夺取民的产业，以致驱逐他们离开所承受的。他要从自己的地业中，将产业赐给他儿子，免得我的民分散，各人离开所承受的。’”
祭司烹祭牲之所
19 那带我的，将我从门旁进入之处领进为祭司预备的圣屋，是朝北的，见后头西边有一块地。 20 他对我说：“这是祭司煮赎愆祭、赎罪祭，烤素祭之地，免得带到外院，使民成圣。” 21 他又带我到外院，使我经过院子的四拐角，见每拐角各有一个院子。 22 院子四拐角的院子周围有墙，每院长四十肘，宽三十肘，四拐角院子的尺寸都是一样。 23 其中周围有一排房子，房子内有煮肉的地方。 24 他对我说：“这都是煮肉的房子，殿内的仆役要在这里煮民的祭物。”
Ezekiel 46
New English Translation
The Prince’s Offerings
46 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: The gate of the inner court that faces east[a] will be closed six working days, but on the Sabbath day it will be opened and on the day of the new moon it will be opened. 2 The prince will enter by way of the porch of the gate from the outside and will stand by the doorpost of the gate. The priests will provide his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he will bow down at the threshold of the gate and then go out. But the gate will not be closed until evening. 3 The people of the land will bow down at the entrance of that gate before the Lord on the Sabbaths and on the new moons. 4 The burnt offering that the prince will offer to the Lord on the Sabbath day will be six unblemished lambs and one unblemished ram. 5 The grain offering will be an ephah with the ram, and the grain offering with the lambs will be as much as he is able to give,[b] and a gallon[c] of olive oil with an ephah. 6 On the day of the new moon he will offer[d] an unblemished young bull and six lambs and a ram, all without blemish. 7 He will provide a grain offering: an ephah with the bull and an ephah with the ram, and with the lambs as much as he wishes,[e] and a gallon[f] of olive oil with each ephah of grain.[g] 8 When the prince enters, he will come by way of the porch of the gate and will go out the same way.
9 “‘When the people of the land come before the Lord at the appointed feasts, whoever enters by way of the north gate to worship will go out by way of the south gate; whoever enters by way of the south gate will go out by way of the north gate. No one will return by way of the gate they entered but will go out straight ahead. 10 When they come in, the prince will come in with them, and when they go out, he will go out.
11 “‘At the festivals and at the appointed feasts the grain offering will be an ephah with the bull and an ephah with the ram, and with the lambs as much as one is able,[h] and a gallon[i] of olive oil with each ephah of grain.[j] 12 When the prince provides a freewill offering, a burnt offering, or peace offerings as a voluntary offering to the Lord, the gate facing east will be opened for him, and he will provide his burnt offering and his peace offerings just as he did on the Sabbath. Then he will go out, and the gate will be closed after he goes out.[k]
13 “‘You[l] will provide a lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering daily to the Lord; morning by morning he will provide it. 14 And you[m] will provide a grain offering with it morning by morning, a sixth of an ephah, and a third of a gallon[n] of olive oil to moisten the choice flour, as a grain offering to the Lord; this is a perpetual statute. 15 Thus they will provide the lamb, the grain offering, and the olive oil morning by morning, as a perpetual burnt offering.
16 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: If the prince should give a gift to one of his sons as[o] his inheritance, it will belong to his sons; it is their property by inheritance. 17 But if he gives a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, it will be his until the year of liberty;[p] then it will revert to the prince. His inheritance will only remain with his sons. 18 The prince will not take away any of the people’s inheritance by oppressively removing them from their property. He will give his sons an inheritance from his own possessions so that my people will not be scattered, each from his own property.’”
19 Then he brought me through the entrance, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which faced north. There I saw[q] a place at the extreme western end. 20 He said to me, “This is the place where the priests will boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, and where they will bake the grain offering, so that they do not bring them out to the outer court to transmit holiness to the people.”
21 Then he brought me out to the outer court and led me past the four corners of the court, and I noticed[r] that in every corner of the court there was a court. 22 In the four corners of the court were small[s] courts, 70 feet[t] in length and 52½ feet[u] in width; the four were all the same size. 23 There was a row of masonry around each of the four courts, and places for boiling offerings were made under the rows all around. 24 Then he said to me, “These are the houses for boiling, where the ministers of the temple boil the sacrifices of the people.”

Ezekiel 46
King James Version
46 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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 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.
6 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.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.
10 And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth.
11 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.
12 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.
13 Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the Lord of a lamb of the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning.
14 And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a perpetual ordinance unto the Lord.
15 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat offering, and the oil, every morning for a continual burnt offering.
16 Thus saith the Lord God; If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons'; it shall be their possession by inheritance.
17 But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons' for them.
18 Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession.
19 After he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place on the two sides westward.
20 Then said he unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake the meat offering; that they bear them not out into the utter court, to sanctify the people.
21 Then he brought me forth into the utter court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.
22 In the four corners of the court there were courts joined of forty cubits long and thirty broad: these four corners were of one measure.
23 And there was a row of building round about in them, round about them four, and it was made with boiling places under the rows round about.
24 Then said he unto me, These are the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
