1. The Sovereign Lord says, “The east gateway to the inner courtyard must be kept closed during the six working days, but it is to be opened on the Sabbath and at the New Moon Festival.
2. The ruling prince will go from the outer courtyard into the entrance room by the gateway and stand beside the posts of the gate while the priests burn his sacrifices whole and offer his fellowship offerings. There at the gate he must worship and then go out again. The gate must not be shut until evening.
3. Each Sabbath and each New Moon Festival all the people are also to bow down and worship the Lord in front of the gate.
4. “On the Sabbath the prince is to bring to the Lord, as sacrifices to be burnt whole, six lambs and one ram, all without any defects.
5. With each ram he is to bring an offering of 17.5 litres of corn, and with each lamb he is to bring whatever he wants to give. For each such grain offering he is to bring three litres of olive oil.
6. At the New Moon Festival he will offer a young bull, six lambs, and a ram, all without any defects.
7. With each bull and each ram the offering is to be 17.5 litres of corn, and with each lamb the offering is to be whatever the prince wants to give. Three litres of olive oil are to be offered with each such grain offering of corn.
8. The prince must leave the entrance room of the gateway and go out by the same way as he went in.
9. “When the people come to worship the Lord at any festival, those who enter by the north gate are to leave by the south gate after they have worshipped, and those who enter by the south gate are to leave by the north gate. No one may go out by the same way as he entered, but must leave by the opposite gate.
