Ezekiel 46:1-8

The Voice

Eternal One: During the six working days of each week, I want you to close the east gate of the inner courtyard; but keep it open on the seventh day, the Sabbath, and on the new moon. ² The prince is to enter from the outside through the portico of the gateway and stand directly outside the gate where he can watch the priests offer his burnt offerings and peace offerings. He is to worship as his offerings are being made, and then exit the same way he entered. The priests won’t shut the gate until the evening. ³ On Sabbaths and new moons, the rest of the people are to worship the Eternal at the entrance to that gate. ⁴ I want the prince to give this burnt offering to Me, the Eternal, on the Sabbath: six lambs and a ram—all perfect. ⁵ I want him to give a grain offering along with it as is customary: ⅗ of a bushel of grain and a gallon of oil with the ram and as much grain and oil as he is able for each lamb. ⁶ During each new moon celebration, I want the prince to offer a young bull, six lambs, and a ram—all perfect. ⁷ He is to provide a customary grain offering as well: ⅗ of a bushel of grain and one gallon of oil for each ram and bull, and as much grain and oil as he can for each lamb. ⁸ The prince is to enter the temple through the portico of the eastern gate and exit the same way.
