The Dedication of the Temple^(A)

⁶² Then the king and all Israel with him offered sacrifices^(B) before the Lord.

³ The king contributed^(A) from his own possessions for the morning and evening burnt offerings and for the burnt offerings on the Sabbaths, at the New Moons and at the appointed festivals as written in the Law of the Lord.^(B)

⁴ The burnt offering the prince brings to the Lord on the Sabbath day is to be six male lambs and a ram, all without defect. ⁵ The grain offering given with the ram is to be an ephah,^[a] and the grain offering with the lambs is to be as much as he pleases, along with a hin^[b] of olive oil for each ephah.^{(A) 6} On the day of the New Moon^(B) he is to offer a young bull, six lambs and a ram, all without defect.^{(C) 7} He is to provide as a grain offering one ephah with the bull, one ephah with the ram, and with the lambs as much as he wants to give, along with a hin of oil for each ephah.^{(D) 8} When the prince enters, he is to go in through the portico^(E) of the gateway, and he is to come out the same way.^(F)

⁹ “‘When the people of the land come before the Lord at the appointed festivals,^(G) whoever enters by the north gate to worship is to go out the south gate; and whoever enters by the south gate is to go out the north gate. No one is to return through the gate by which they entered, but each is to go out the opposite gate. ¹⁰ The prince is to be among them, going in when they go in and going out when they go out.^{(H) 11} At the feasts and the appointed festivals, the grain offering is to be an ephah with a bull, an ephah with a ram, and with the lambs as much as he pleases, along with a hin of oil for each ephah.^(I)

¹² “‘When the prince provides^(J) a freewill offering^(K) to the Lord—whether a burnt offering or fellowship offerings—the gate facing east is to be opened for him. He shall offer his burnt offering or his fellowship offerings as he does on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and after he has gone out, the gate will be shut.^(L)
