The (A)burnt offering which the prince shall offer to the Lord on the Sabbath day shall be (B)six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish; and the (C)grain offering shall be an [a]ephah [b]with the ram, and the grain offering [c]with the lambs [d]as much as he is (D)able to give, and a [e]hin of oil [f]with an ephah. On the day of the (E)new moon he shall offer a [g]bull without blemish, and six lambs and a ram, which shall be without blemish. And he shall provide a (F)grain offering, an ephah [h]with the bull and an ephah [i]with the ram, and [j]with the lambs as [k]much as he is (G)able, and a hin of oil [l]with an ephah. When the (H)prince enters, he shall go in by way of the porch of the gate, and go out by [m]the same way. But when the people of the land come (I)before the Lord at the appointed feasts, one who enters by way of the north gate to worship shall go out by way of the south gate. And one who enters by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the north gate. [n]No one shall return by way of the gate by which he entered, but shall go straight out. 10 And when they go in, the prince shall go in (J)among them; and when they go out, [o]he shall go out.

11 “At the (K)festivals and the appointed feasts, the (L)grain offering shall be an ephah [p]with a bull and an ephah [q]with a ram, and [r]with the lambs as [s]much as one is able to give, and a hin of oil [t]with an ephah. 12 And when the prince provides a (M)[u]voluntary offering, a burnt offering, or peace offerings as a [v]voluntary offering to the Lord, the gate facing east shall be (N)opened for him. And he shall provide his burnt offering and his peace offerings as he does on the (O)Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and the gate shall be shut after he goes out.

The burnt offering the prince brings to the Lord on the Sabbath day is to be six male lambs and a ram, all without defect. The grain offering given with the ram is to be an ephah,[a] and the grain offering with the lambs is to be as much as he pleases, along with a hin[b] of olive oil for each ephah.(A) On the day of the New Moon(B) he is to offer a young bull, six lambs and a ram, all without defect.(C) He is to provide as a grain offering one ephah with the bull, one ephah with the ram, and with the lambs as much as he wants to give, along with a hin of oil for each ephah.(D) When the prince enters, he is to go in through the portico(E) of the gateway, and he is to come out the same way.(F)

“‘When the people of the land come before the Lord at the appointed festivals,(G) whoever enters by the north gate to worship is to go out the south gate; and whoever enters by the south gate is to go out the north gate. No one is to return through the gate by which they entered, but each is to go out the opposite gate. 10 The prince is to be among them, going in when they go in and going out when they go out.(H) 11 At the feasts and the appointed festivals, the grain offering is to be an ephah with a bull, an ephah with a ram, and with the lambs as much as he pleases, along with a hin of oil for each ephah.(I)

12 “‘When the prince provides(J) a freewill offering(K) to the Lord—whether a burnt offering or fellowship offerings—the gate facing east is to be opened for him. He shall offer his burnt offering or his fellowship offerings as he does on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and after he has gone out, the gate will be shut.(L)
