The Books of the Prophets
Ou the first of the Hrst month you shall provide a perfect bullcck from the fold, and purify the Sanc- tuary. And the Priest shall take some of the blood and put upon the door-posts of the Temple, and the four comers of the landing of the altar, and upon the posts of the gates of the Inner Court, and do the ame on the seventh of the mont:- for general faults or errors, and expiate forthem in the Temple. ‘ At the beginning ofthe fourteenth
day of the month, you shall prepare yourselves for the Feast of the Pass- over for seven days, by eating unfer- mented bread. And the Prince shall provide on that day, on account of himself, and on account of the People of the country, a bulloclc for a sin- offering. He shall also provide, during the seven days of the feast, as a burnt-offering to the LORD, seven perfect bullocks, and seven rams, a. day, for seven days, and as a sin- offering a he-goat daily, and as food- offering, he shall also provide an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil with the ophah. ‘In the seventh month on the
fifteenth day,he shall provide the same for seven days,-—similar sin·offerin gs, similar burnbofferings, and similar food·offerings,-·—witl1 similar oil.’ The gate of the Inner Court facing the east shall be closed for six working days,—··but upon the Day of Rest it shall be opened, and upon the day
z of new moon. Then the Prince shall come towards the porch outside the gate, and stand before the doors of the gate, while the priest prepares his burnt·offering, and his thank- offering, and he shall bow at the threshold of the gate. He may after- wards enter,-and the gate shall not
3 be shut until the evening. But the people of the country shall worship in the square of the same gate before the LORD on the Sabbaths, and new moons. And the.burnt·offerings that the Prince shall present to the LORD on the Day of Rest, are six perfect lambs, and a perfect ram; with a. food-offering of an ephah with the ram; and with the lambs, a food

oil. And on the day of new moon a fixed by his own hand, and a hin of perfect bullock from the fold, and six lambs, and a ram,·———they must be perfect. He shall also provide an ephah with the bullockyancl an ephah with the ram, as a foodoffering; and with the lambs whatever his hand suggests, and a hin of oil to the ephah. ‘ And when the Prince arrives oppo·
site the porch of the gate, he shall enter and leave by the same way. But when the people of the country come before the Lord of the Assem- blies they must enter by the way of the North Gate to the services, going out by the way of the South Gate; but those arriving by way of the South Gate shall go out by way of the North Gate,—they must not return by way of the gate they entered, but depart by the opposite one. But the Princes shall enter, and as they depart, theyshall depart by the same way. ‘ At the Festivals, however, and at
the Assemblies, there shall be a food4 offering of an ephah, with a bullock, and an ephah with a ram, and what his hand gives with the lambs, and a hin of oil with an ephah. But when the Prince makes a vow of a burnt- offering, or has vowed a thanlooffering to the EVER-LIVING, you shall open the gate facing the east for him, and he shall provide the burnt—oHering, or the thank-offerings, as he provides on the Sabbath day. Then he shall depart;-—·and close the gate after him at his departure. ‘ And he shall provide daily, as a
burnt-offering to the EVER-L1v1NG, a perfect Lamb of a year old, It shall be provided morning by morning. And you shall provide with it, morning by morning, the sixth of an ephah andthe third of a hin of oil to mix the fine flour of the food·offering to the Evsaitvino, as a regular rule for ever. They shall thus provide the lamb and the food~offering,_ and the oil, morning by morning, as a regular burnt-offering.' IO II I2 lf
