1Thus saith Adonoi Hashem: The Sha'ar HeKhatzer HaPenimit that looketh toward the east shall be shut during the sheshet yemei hama'aseh (the six days of labor); but on Shabbos it shall be opened, and in the yom of the Rosh Chodesh it shall be opened.

2And the Nasi shall enter by the derech ulam haSha'ar from without, and shall stand by the mezuzat HaSha'ar, and the Kohanim shall prepare his Olah (burnt offering) and his Shelamim, and he shall worship at the threshold of the Sha'ar; then he shall go out; but the Sha'ar shall not be shut until the erev.

3Likewise the Am HaAretz shall worship at the Petach HaSha'ar before Hashem in the Shabbatot and in Rosh Chodesh.

4And the Olah that the Nasi shall offer unto Hashem in the Yom HaShabbos shall be six kevasim temimim, and a ram without blemish.

5And the minchah shall be an ephah for a ram, and the minchah for the kevasim whatever his hand gives, and a hin of shemen to an ephah.

6And in the yom of the Rosh Chodesh it shall be a young bull temimim, and six kevasim, and a ram; they shall be without blemish.

7And he shall prepare a minchah, an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and for the kevasim as much as he wishes, and a hin of shemen to an ephah.

8And when the Nasi shall enter, he shall go in by the derech ulam HaSha'ar and he shall go out by the derech thereof.

9But when the Am HaAretz shall come before Hashem in the Mo'adim, he that entereth in by the derech Sha'ar Tzafon to worship shall exit by the derech Sha'ar Negev; and he that entereth by the derech Sha'ar Negev shall go out by derech Sha'ar Tzafonah; he shall not return by the derech HaSha'ar whereby he came in, but shall go out opposite it.

10And the Nasi in the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go out, shall go out.

11And in the Chagim and in the Mo'adim the minchah shall be an ephah to a bull, and an ephah to a ram, and to the kevasim as much as one wishes to give, and a hin of shemen to an ephah.

12Now when the Nasi shall prepare a nedavah olah or shelamim nedavah unto Hashem, one shall then open for him the Sha'ar that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his Olah and his Shelamim, as he did on the Yom HaShabbos; then he shall go out; and after his going out one shall shut the Sha'ar.

13Thou shalt daily prepare an Olah unto Hashem of a keves of the first year tamim (without blemish); thou shalt prepare it baboker baboker.

14And thou shalt prepare a Minchah for it baboker baboker, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of a hin of shemen, to moisten with the fine flour; a minchah chukkot olam tamid unto Hashem.

15Thus shall they prepare the keves, and the minchah, and the shemen, baboker baboker for an olat tamid.

16Thus saith Adonoi Hashem: If the Nasi give a mattanah (gift) unto any of his banim, the nachalah thereof shall belong to his banim; it shall be their achuzzah by nachalah.

17But if he give a mattanah of his nachalah to one of his avadim, then it shall be his to the Shenat HaDeror (Jubilee Year); then it shall return to the Nasi; but his nachalah shall belong only to his banim. ¹⁴³

18Moreover the Nasi shall not take of the nachalah HaAm by oppression, to thrust them out of their achuzzah; but he shall give his banim nachalah out of his own achuzzah; that My people be not scattered each man from his achuzzah.

19After he ¹⁴⁴brought me through the entrance, which was at the side of the Sha'ar, into the lishkhot hakodesh of the Kohanim, which looked toward the tzafonah; and, hinei, there was a place at its western sides.

20Then said he ¹⁴⁵unto me, This is the place where the Kohanim shall cook the asham (trespass offering) and the chattat, where they shall bake the minchah; that they bear them not out into the Khatzer HaKhitzonah and so set apart as kodesh HaAm.

21Then he ¹⁴⁶brought me forth into the Khatzer HaKhitzonah, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the Khatzer; and, hinei, in the Khatzer I saw in every corner of the Khatzer there was a Khatzer.

22In the four corners of the Khatzer there were enclosed Khatzerot forty cubits long and thirty wide; these four corners were of one measure.

23And there was a row of masonry saviv (around) inside them, round about these four, and it was made with hearths at the bottom of the rows round about.

24Then said he ¹⁴⁷unto me, These are the Bais HaMevashelim, where the Mesharetim of the Bais shall cook the zevach HaAm.
