This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

46:1The leader and the festivals

46The master Yahweh says this: The eastern gate of the inner courtyard will be shut for the six days of work, but it will be opened on rest days and on the day of the new moon. 2The leader will enter the outer courtyard by the way of that gate and its outside porch, and he’ll stand at the doorposts of the inner gate while the priests perform his burnt offering and peace offering. Then he’ll worship right there at the inner gate and then leave again, but the gate won’t be shut until evening. 3The people will also worship in front of Yahweh at the entrance to that gate on rest days and new moons. 4The burnt offering that the leader offers to Yahweh on the rest day will be six unblemished lambs and an unblemished ram. 5The grain offering that he gives with the ram is twenty-two litres of flour, and with the lambs it should be as much as he pleases, along with one litre of olive oil for every twenty-two litres of flour. 6On the day of the new moon he must offer a bull, six lambs, and a ram—all without any defects. 7He must also provide a grain offering of twenty-two litres of flour with the bull, the same with the ram, and as much as he wants with the lambs, along with a litre of olive oil with every twenty-two litres of flour. 8The leader enters by the way of the gate and its porch, and he must leave by the same way.

9But when the people of the land come before Yahweh at the appointed festivals, anyone entering through the north gate to worship must leave through the south gate, and anyone entering through the south gate must leave through the north gate. No one is allowed to turn back to the gate through which they entered, because everyone must keep going straight ahead until they get out. 10The leader must be amongst themin their midst—when they go in, he must go in, and when they leave, he must leave. 11During the festivals that you hold for me, the king must present twenty-two litres of flour along with a bull or a ram, and as much flour as he wants to with the lambs, along with a liter of olive oil with every twenty-two litres of flour.

12When the leader gives a freewill offering to Yahweh (either a burnt offering or a peace offering), the eastern gate will be opened for him. He will offer his burnt offering or his peace offering just like he does on the rest day. Then he must go out, and after he’s gone out the gate will be shut.

46:13The daily sacrifice

13In addition, every morning someone[fn] must provide a one year old lamb with no defects to be completely burnt up as an offering to Yahweh. 14Also every morning someone must provide an offering of four litres of flour mixed with a litre of olive oil, and it’s a permanent requirement. 15They’ll prepare the lamb, the grain offering, and the oil, every morning—a permanent daily burnt offering.

46:16The leader and the country

16The master Yahweh says this: If the leader gives a gift to any of his sons, it becomes his inheritance, i.e., it will become the property of his sons because it’s an inheritance. 17But if he gives a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, then it will belong to that servant until the year of liberty, and then it will return to the leader. His inheritance must definitely be for his own sons.[ref] 18The leader mustn’t take the people’s inheritance away from their own property—he must provide for his sons from his own property so that my people will not be forced off their own inherited land.”

46:19The temple kitchens

19Next the man brought me through the entrance at the gate to the sacred rooms for the priests which were north-facing, and what’s more, there was a place toward the west. 20He told me, “That’s the place where the priests must boil the guilt offering and the sin offering and where they must bake the grain offering. They mustn’t bring the offerings into the outer courtyard, because then the people would become sacred (and not be able to leave).”

21Then he brought me to the outer courtyard and he led me past the four corners of that courtyard, and I saw that in every corner of the courtyard there was another enclosed area 22that were each twenty-two metres long and sixteen metres wide. 23Around the inside of each of those enclosed areas was a stone ledge, cooking hearths all around under the ledge. 24The man told me, “Those are the places where the temple workers will boil the people’s sacrifices.”


46:13 Some of the earliest translations (the Septuagint and the Vulgate) have ‘he’ here, suggesting it must be the leader.


46:17: Lev 25:10.
