15. Thus the lamb and the meal offering and the oil shall be provided, morning by morning, for a regular burnt offering.
16. “Thus says the Lord God: If the prince makes a gift to any of his sons as his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons. It is their property by inheritance.
17. But if he makes a gift out of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty. Then it shall revert to the prince; surely it is his inheritance—it shall belong to his sons.
18. The prince shall not take any of the inheritance of the people, thrusting them out of their property. He shall give his sons their inheritance out of his own property, so that none of my people shall be scattered from his property.”
19. Then he brought me through the entrance, which was at the side of the gate, to the north row of the holy chambers for the priests, and behold, a place was there at the extreme western end of them.
20. And he said to me, “This is the place where the priests shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the grain offering, in order not to bring them out into the outer court and so transmit holiness to the people.”
21. Then he brought me out to the outer court and led me around to the four corners of the court. And behold, in each corner of the court there was another court—
22. in the four corners of the court were small courts, forty cubits long and thirty broad; the four were of the same size.
23. On the inside, around each of the four courts was a row of masonry, with hearths made at the bottom of the rows all around.
24. Then he said to me, “These are the kitchens where those who minister at the temple shall boil the sacrifices of the people.”
