Ezekiel 46:1-8

Christian Standard Bible

Sacrifices at Appointed Times

46 “This is what the Lord God says: The gate of the inner court that faces east is to be closed during the six days of work, but it will be opened on the Sabbath day^(A) and opened on the day of the New Moon. ² The prince should enter from the outside by way of the gate’s portico and stand at the gate’s doorpost while the priests sacrifice his burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. He will bow in worship at the gate’s threshold and then depart, but the gate is not to be closed until evening. ³ The people of the land will also bow in worship before the Lord at the entrance of that gate on the Sabbaths and New Moons.

⁴ “The burnt offering that the prince presents to the Lord^(B) on the Sabbath day is to be six unblemished lambs^(C) and an unblemished ram. ⁵ The grain offering will be half a bushel^[a] with the ram,^(D) and the grain offering with the lambs will be whatever he wants to give, as well as a gallon^[b] of oil for every half bushel. ⁶ On the day of the New Moon, the burnt offering is to be a young, unblemished bull, as well as six lambs and a ram without blemish. ⁷ He will provide a grain offering of half a bushel with the bull, half a bushel with the ram, and whatever he can afford with the lambs, together with a gallon of oil for every half bushel. ⁸ When the prince enters,^(E) he is to go in by way of the gate’s portico and go out the same way.
