VULGATANEW JERUSALEM
1 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Porta atrii interioris quæ respicit ad orientem, erit clausa sex diebus in quibus opus fit : die autem sabbati aperietur, sed et in die calendarum aperietur.1 ' "The Lord Yahweh says this: The east gate of the inner court must be kept shut for the six workingdays. On the Sabbath day, however, it must be opened, as also on the day of the New Moon;
2 Et intrabit princeps per viam vestibuli portæ deforis, et stabit in limine portæ : et facient sacerdotes holocaustum ejus, et pacifica ejus : et adorabit super limen portæ, et egredietur : porta autem non claudetur usque ad vesperam.2 and the prince must go in through the porch of the outer gate and take his position by the doorposts ofthe gate. The priests must then offer his burnt offerings and his communion sacrifice. He must prostrate himselfon the threshold of the gate and go out, and the gate must not be shut again until the evening.
3 Et adorabit populus terræ ad ostium portæ illius in sabbatis et in calendis coram Domino.3 The people of the country must prostrate themselves in the presence of Yahweh at the entrance to thegate on Sabbaths and days of the New Moon.
4 Holocaustum autem hoc offeret princeps Domino : in die sabbati, sex agnos immaculatos, et arietem immaculatum,4 The burnt offering offered to Yahweh by the prince on the Sabbath day must consist of sixunblemished lambs and one unblemished ram,
5 et sacrificium ephi per arietem, in agnis autem sacrificium quod dederit manus ejus, et olei hin per singula ephi.5 with an oblation of one ephah for the ram, and such oblation as he pleases for the lambs, and a hin ofoil for every ephah.
6 In die autem calendarum vitulum de armento immaculatum, et sex agni et arietes immaculati erunt.6 On the day of the New Moon it must consist of an unblemished young bull, six unblemished lambs andone unblemished ram,
7 Et ephi per vitulum, ephi quoque per arietem faciet sacrificium : de agnis autem sicut invenerit manus ejus, et olei hin per singula ephi.7 when he must make an oblation of one ephah for the bul and one ephah for the ram, and what hepleases for the lambs, and a hin of oil for every ephah.
8 Cumque ingressurus est princeps, per viam vestibuli portæ ingrediatur, et per eamdem viam exeat.8 "When the prince goes in, he must enter by the porch of the gate, and he must leave by the same way.
9 Et cum intrabit populus terræ in conspectu Domini in solemnitatibus, qui ingreditur per portam aquilonis ut adoret, egrediatur per viam portæ meridianæ : porro qui ingreditur per viam portæ meridianæ, egrediatur per viam portæ aquilonis. Non revertetur per viam portæ per quam ingressus est, sed e regione illius egredietur.9 When the people of the country come into the presence of Yahweh at the solemn festivals, those whohave come in by the north gate to prostrate themselves must go out by the south gate, and those who havecome in by the south gate must go out by the north gate; no one must turn back to leave through the gate bywhich he entered but must go out on the opposite side.
10 Princeps autem in medio eorum cum ingredientibus ingredietur, et cum egredientibus egredietur.10 The prince will be with them, coming in like them and going out like them.
11 Et in nundinis, et in solemnitatibus, erit sacrificium ephi per vitulum, et ephi per arietem : agnis autem erit sacrificium sicut invenerit manus ejus, et olei hin per singula ephi.11 "On feast days and solemn festivals the oblation must be one ephah for every bul , one ephah forevery ram, what he pleases for the lambs, and a hin of oil for every ephah.
12 Cum autem fecerit princeps spontaneum holocaustum, aut pacifica voluntaria Domino, aperietur ei porta quæ respicit ad orientem, et faciet holocaustum suum et pacifica sua, sicut fieri solet in die sabbati : et egredietur, claudeturque porta postquam exierit.12 When the prince offers Yahweh voluntary burnt offerings or a voluntary communion sacrifice, the eastgate must be opened for him, and he must offer his burnt offerings and his communion sacrifice as he does onthe Sabbath day; when he has gone out, the gate must be shut after him.
13 Et agnum ejusdem anni immaculatum faciet holocaustum quotidie Domino : semper mane faciet illud.13 Every day he must offer an unblemished lamb one year old as a burnt offering to Yahweh; he mustoffer this every morning.
14 Et faciet sacrificium super eo cata mane mane sextam partem ephi, et de oleo tertiam partem hin, ut misceatur similæ : sacrificium Domino legitimum, juge atque perpetuum.14 Every morning in addition he must offer an oblation of one-sixth of an ephah and one-third of a hin ofoil, for mixing with the flour. This is the oblation to Yahweh, a perpetual decree, fixed for ever.
15 Faciet agnum, et sacrificium, et oleum cata mane mane, holocaustum sempiternum.15 The lamb, the oblation and the oil must be offered morning after morning for ever.
16 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Si dederit princeps donum alicui de filiis suis, hæreditas ejus filiorum suorum erit : possidebunt eam hæreditarie.16 "Lord Yahweh says this: If the prince presents part of his hereditary portion to one of his sons, the giftmust pass into the ownership of his sons and become their hereditary property.
17 Si autem dederit legatum de hæreditate sua uni servorum suorum, erit illius usque ad annum remissionis, et revertetur ad principem : hæreditas autem ejus filiis ejus erit.17 If, however, he presents part of his hereditary portion to one of his slaves, it wil belong to the manonly until the year of liberation and then must revert to the prince. Only his sons may retain his hereditaryportion.
18 Et non accipiet princeps de hæreditate populi per violentiam, et de possessione eorum : sed de possessione sua hæreditatem dabit filiis suis, ut non dispergatur populus meus unusquisque a possessione sua.
18 The prince may not take any part of the people's hereditary portion, thus robbing them of what istheirs; he must provide the patrimony of his sons out of his own property, so that no member of my people isrobbed of what is his!" '
19 Et introduxit me per ingressum qui erat ex latere portæ, in gazophylacia sanctuarii ad sacerdotes, quæ respiciebant ad aquilonem : et erat ibi locus vergens ad occidentem.19 He took me through the entrance at the side of the north gate that leads to the rooms of the HolyPlace set apart for the priests. And there before us, to the west, was a space at the end.
20 Et dixit ad me : Iste est locus ubi coquent sacerdotes pro peccato et pro delicto : ubi coquent sacrificium, ut non efferant in atrium exterius, et sanctificetur populus.20 He said to me, 'This is where the priests must boil the slaughtered animals for the sacrifice for sinand the sacrifice of reparation, and where they must bake the oblation, without having to carry them into theouter court and so run the risk of hal owing the people.'
21 Et eduxit me in atrium exterius, et circumduxit me per quatuor angulos atrii : et ecce atriolum erat in angulo atrii, atriola singula per angulos atrii.21 He then took me into the outer court and led me to each of its four corners; in each corner of theouter court was a compound;
22 In quatuor angulis atrii atriola disposita, quadraginta cubitorum per longum, et triginta per latum : mensuræ unius quatuor erant.22 in other words, the four corners of the court contained four smal compounds, forty cubits by thirty, alfour being the same size.
23 Et paries per circuitum ambiens quatuor atriola : et culinæ fabricatæ erant subter porticus per gyrum.23 Al four were enclosed by a wal , with hearths al round the bottom of the wall.
24 Et dixit ad me : Hæc est domus culinarum, in qua coquent ministri domus Domini victimas populi.24 He said, 'These are the kitchens where the Temple servants must boil the sacrifices offered by thepeople.'
