Ordinances for the Prince and the Offerings

Ezekiel 46

The Lord gives rules for how the prince and the people are to enter and leave the temple gates on the sabbath, the new moon, and the feasts, along with the offerings the prince is to bring on each occasion and the daily whole-burnt-offering. He also sets limits on how the prince may give his inheritance to his sons or servants, and shows the places in the temple court where the priests are to boil and bake the offerings.

BrentonThus saith the Lord God; If the prince shall give a gift to one of his sons out of his inheritance, this shall be to his sons a possession as an inheritance.

GreekΤάδε λέγει Κύριος Θεὸς, ἐὰν δῷ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος δόμα ἑνὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς κληρονομίας αὐτοῦ, τοῦτο τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ ἔσται κατάσχεσις κληρονομία·

GreekἘὰν δὲ δῷ δόμα ἑνὶ τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ ἕως τοῦ ἔτους τῆς ἀφέσεως, καὶ ἀποδώσει τῷ ἀφηγουμένῳ· πλὴν τῆς κληρονομίας τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ αὐτοῖς ἔσται.

JPSBut if he give of his inheritance a gift to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince; but as for his inheritance, it shall be for his sons.

ThomsonThe ruler must not take any part of the people’s inheritance by oppression. Out of his own possessions he shall give an inheritance to his sons, that My people may not be driven every one from his possession.

BrentonAnd the prince shall by no means take of the inheritance of the people, to oppress them: he shall give an inheritance to his sons out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered, every one from his possession.

GreekΚαὶ οὐ μὴ λάβῃ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος ἐκ τῆς κληρονομίας τοῦ λαοῦ, καταδυναστεῦσαι αὐτοὺς, ἐκ τῆς κατασχέσεως αὐτοῦ κατακληρονομήσει τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ, ὅπως μὴ διασκορπίζηται ὁ λαός μου, ἕκαστος ἐκ τῆς κατασχέσεως αὐτοῦ.

BrentonAnd he brought me into the entrance of the place behind the gate, into the chamber of the sanctuary belonging to the priests, that looks toward the north: and, behold, there was a place set apart.

GreekΚαὶ εἰσήγαγέ με εἰς τὴν εἴσοδον τῆς κατὰ νώτου τῆς πύλης, εἰς τὴν ἐξέδραν τῶν ἁγίων τῶν ἱερέων, τὴν βλέπουσαν πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ τόπος κεχωρισμένος.

KJVAfter he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place on the two sides westward.

JPSThen he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which looked toward the north; and, behold, there was a place on the hinder part westward.

ThomsonAnd he said to me, This is the place where the priests are to boil the trespass offerings, and the sin offerings and where they are to bake all the offerings of flour, that they may not carry them out into the outer court, for fear of hallowing the people.

BrentonAnd he said to me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass-offerings and the sin-offerings, and there shall they bake the meat-offering always; so as not to carry them out into the outer court, to sanctify the people.

GreekΚαὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, οὗτος ὁ τόπος ἐστὶν, οὗ ἑψήσουσιν ἐκεῖ οἱ ἱερεῖς τὰ ὑπὲρ ἀγνοίας καὶ τὰ ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας, καὶ ἐκεῖ πέψουσι τὸ μαναὰ τὸ παράπαν, τοῦ μὴ ἐκφέρειν εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐξωτέραν, τοῦ ἁγιάζειν τὸν λαόν.

KJVThen said he unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake the meat offering; that they bear them not out into the utter court, to sanctify the people.

JPSAnd he said unto me: ‘This is the place where the priests shall boil the guilt-offering and the sin-offering, where they shall bake the meal-offering; that they bring them not forth into the outer court, to sanctify the people.’

ThomsonThen he led me to the outer court and conducted me round the four sides of the court. And lo! a court at the four corners of this court.

BrentonAnd he brought me into the outer court, and led me round upon the four sides of the court; and, behold, there was a court on each of the sides of the court,

GreekΚαὶ ἐξήγαγέ με εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐξῶτέραν, καὶ περιήγαγέ με ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα μέρη τῆς αὐλῆς· καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐλὴ κατὰ τὰ κλίτη τῆς αὐλῆς,

KJVThen he brought me forth into the utter court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.

JPSThen he brought me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.

ThomsonAt every corner a court; a court with four sides; and the little court of this court was forty cubits long and thirty cubits broad. The four were of the same measure;

Brentonon every side a court, even a court for all the four sides, and each little court belonging to the court was in length forty cubits, and in breadth thirty cubits, there was one measure to the four.

Greekκατὰ τὸ κλίτος αὐλὴ, αὐλὴ ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα, καὶ τῆς αὐλῆς αὐλὴ μικρὰ μήκους πηχῶν τεσσαράκοντα, καὶ εὖρος πηχῶν τριάκοντα, μέτρον ἓν ταῖς τέσσαρσι.

KJVIn the four corners of the court there were courts joined of forty cubits long and thirty broad: these four corners were of one measure.

JPSIn the four corners of the court there were courts inclosed, forty cubits long and thirty broad; these four in the corners were of one measure.

Thomsonand in them were chambers around the four. And under these chambers round about were kitchens.

BrentonAnd there were chambers in them round about, round about the four, and cooking-places formed under the chambers round about.

GreekΚαὶ ἐξέδραι κύκλῳ ἐν αὐταῖς, κυκλῳ ταῖς τέσσαρσι· καὶ μαγειρεῖα γεγονότα ὑποκάτω τῶν ἐξεδρῶν κύκλῳ.

KJVAnd there was a row of building round about in them, round about them four, and it was made with boiling places under the rows round about.

JPSAnd there was a row of masonry round about in them, round about the four, and it was made with boiling-places under the rows round about.

ThomsonAnd he said to me, These are the houses of the cooks, where they who minister in the house are to boil the sacrifices of the people.

BrentonAnd he said to me, These are the cooks' houses, where they that serve the house shall boil the sacrifices of the people.

GreekΚαὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, οὗτοι οἱ οἶκοι τῶν μαγείρων, οὗ ἑψήσουσιν ἐκεῖ οἱ λειτουργοῦντες τῷ οἴκῳ τὰ θύματα τοῦ λαοῦ.

KJVThen said he unto me, These are the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.

JPSThen said he unto me: ‘These are the boiling-places, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifices of the people.’
