Ezekiel 46:1-8

New Living Translation

46 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: The east gateway of the inner courtyard will be closed during the six workdays each week, but it will be open on Sabbath days and the days of new moon celebrations. ² The prince will enter the entry room of the gateway from the outside. Then he will stand by the gatepost while the priest offers his burnt offering and peace offering. He will bow down in worship inside the gateway passage and then go back out the way he came. The gateway will not be closed until evening. ³ The common people will bow down and worship the Lord in front of this gateway on Sabbath days and the days of new moon celebrations.

⁴ “Each Sabbath day the prince will present to the Lord a burnt offering of six lambs and one ram, all with no defects. ⁵ He will present a grain offering of a basket of choice flour to go with the ram and whatever amount of flour he chooses to go with each lamb, and he is to offer one gallon of olive oil^[a] for each basket of flour. ⁶ At the new moon celebrations, he will bring one young bull, six lambs, and one ram, all with no defects. ⁷ With the young bull he must bring a basket of choice flour for a grain offering. With the ram he must bring another basket of flour. And with each lamb he is to bring whatever amount of flour he chooses to give. With each basket of flour he must offer one gallon of olive oil.

⁸ “The prince must enter the gateway through the entry room, and he must leave the same way.
