English Standard Version

The Prince and the Feasts

46 “Thus says the Lord God: ^(A)The gate of ^(B)the inner court that faces east shall be shut on the six working days, but on the Sabbath day it shall be opened, and ^(C)on the day of the new moon it shall be opened. ²^(D)The prince shall enter by the vestibule of the gate from outside, and shall take his stand by ^(E)the post of the gate. ^(F)The priests shall offer his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at ^(G)the threshold of the gate. Then he shall go out, but the gate shall not be shut until evening. ³^(H)The people of the land shall bow down at the entrance of that gate before the Lord on the Sabbaths and on the new moons. ⁴^(I)The burnt offering that the prince offers to the Lord ^(J)on the Sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish. ⁵And ^(K)the grain offering with the ram shall be an ephah,^[a] and the grain offering with the lambs shall be ^(L)as much as he is able, together with a hin^[b] of oil to each ephah. ⁶On the day of the new moon he shall offer a bull from the herd without blemish, and six lambs and a ram, which shall be without blemish. ⁷As a grain offering he shall provide an ephah with the bull and an ephah with the ram, and with the lambs ^(M)as much as he is able, together with a hin of oil to each ephah. ⁸^(N)When the prince enters, he shall enter by the vestibule of the gate, and he shall go out by the same way.
