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.
