Regulations for the East Gate

1

"This is what Adonai ELOHIM says: 'The east gate of the inner courtyard is to be shut on the six working days, but on Shabbat it is to be opened, and on Rosh-Hodesh it is to be opened.

2

The prince is to enter by way of the outer vestibule of the gate and stand by the support of the gate. The cohanim are to prepare his burnt offering and peace offerings. Then he is to prostrate himself in worship at the threshold of the gate, after which he is to leave; but the gate is not to be shut until evening.

3

The people of the land are also to prostrate themselves in worship before ADONAI at the entrance to that gate on Shabbat and on Rosh-Hodesh.

4

"'The burnt offering the prince is to offer ADONAI on Shabbat is to consist of six lambs without defect and a ram without defect.

5

The grain offering is to be a bushel for the ram, while for the lambs it can be as much as he wants to give; with a gallon of olive oil per eifah.

6

On Rosh-Hodesh it is to be a young bull, six lambs and a ram, all without defect.

7

He is to prepare a grain offering consisting of a bushel for the bull, a bushel for the ram, and for the lambs as his means allow; with a gallon of olive oil per bushel.

8

"'When the prince enters, he is to go in by way of the vestibule of the gate, and he is to leave the same way.
