History & Narratives Verses

And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.

But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:

And a {portion shall be} for the prince on the one side and on the other side of the oblation of the holy {portion}, and of the possession of the city, before the oblation of the holy {portion}, and before the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward: and the length {shall be} over against one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto the LORD, {one} shall then open him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth {one} shall shut the gate.

After he brought me through the entry, which {was} at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there {was} a place on the two sides westward.

Then said he unto me, This {is} the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake the meat offering; that they bear {them} not out into the utter court, to sanctify the people.

Then said he unto me, These {are} the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.

Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house {stood toward} the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south {side} of the altar.

Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.

And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters {were} to the ankles. {the waters were...: Heb. waters of the ankles}

Afterward he measured a thousand; {and it was} a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over. {waters to...: Heb. waters of swimming}
