The Manner of Worship

1 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “The gateway of the inner court that faces toward the east shall be shut the six aworking days; but on the Sabbath it shall be opened, and on the day of the New Moon it shall be opened.  
2 aThe prince shall enter by way of the vestibule of the gateway from the outside, and stand by the gatepost. The priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings. He shall worship at the threshold of the gate. Then he shall go out, but the gate shall not be shut until evening.  
3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the entrance to this gateway before the Lord on the Sabbaths and the New Moons.
4 The burnt offering that athe prince offers to the Lord on the bSabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish;  
5 aand the grain offering shall be one ephah for a ram, and the grain offering for the lambs,1 as much as he wants to give, as well as a hin of oil with every ephah.  
6 On the day of the New Moon it shall be a young bull without blemish, six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish.
7 He shall prepare a grain offering of an ephah for a bull, an ephah for a ram,1 as much as he wants to give for the lambs, and a hin of oil with every ephah.  
8 aWhen the prince enters, he shall go in by way of the vestibule of the gateway, and go out the same way.  
9 “But when the people of the land acome before the Lord on the appointed feast days, whoever enters by way of the north bgate to worship shall go out by way of the south gate; and whoever enters by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the north gate. He shall not return by way of the gate through which he came, but shall go out through the opposite gate.  
10 The prince shall then be in their midst. When they go in, he shall go in; and when they go out, he shall go out.
11 At the festivals and the appointed feast days athe grain offering shall be an ephah for a bull, an ephah for a ram, as much as he wants to give for the lambs, and a hin of oil with every ephah.  
12 “Now when the prince makes a voluntary burnt offering or voluntary peace offering to the Lord, the gate that faces toward the east ashall then be opened for him; and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings as he did on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and after he goes out the gate shall be shut.  
13 a“You shall daily make a burnt offering to the Lord of a lamb of the first year without blemish; you shall prepare it1 every morning.  
14 And you shall prepare a grain offering with it every morning, a sixth of an ephah, and a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour. This grain offering is a perpetual ordinance, to be made regularly to the Lord.
