Ezekiel 46:10-17 Good News Bible (GNB)

10. The prince is to come in when the people come, and leave when they leave.

11. On the feast days and at the festivals the grain offering will be 17.5 litres with each bull or ram, and whatever the worshipper wants to give with each lamb. Three litres of olive oil are to be offered with each such grain offering.

12. “When the ruling prince wants to make a voluntary offering to the Lord, either an offering to be burnt whole or a fellowship offering, the east gate to the inner courtyard will be opened for him. He is to make the offering in the same way as he does on the Sabbath, and the gate is to be closed after he goes out again.”

13. The Lord says, “Every morning a one-year-old lamb without any defects is to be burnt whole as an offering to the Lord. This offering must be made every day.

14. Also an offering of two kilogrammes of flour is to be made every morning, together with one litre of olive oil for mixing with the flour. The rules for this offering to the Lord are to be in force for ever.

15. The lamb, the flour, and the olive oil are to be offered to the Lord every morning for ever.”

16. The Sovereign Lord commands: “If the ruling prince gives any of the land he owns to one of his sons as a present, it will belong to that son as a part of his family property.

17. But if the ruling prince gives any of his land to anyone who is in his service, it will become the prince's property again when the Year of Restoration comes round. It belongs to him, and only he and his sons can own it permanently.
