    What happens here

    Atlas's own reading, written from this chapter and nothing else, and published only once a person has approved it. Each scene names the verses it covers; the names inside it link to the people and places they name.

    Holiness gets its own kitchens: the priests boil guilt offerings and bake grain offerings in corner courts, lest the food enter the outer court and transmit holiness to the people.

    The gates and the offeringsvv. 1–15

    The east gate of the inner court is shut through the six working days, but opens on the Sabbath and the New Moon. The prince enters through the portico, bows at the threshold, and leaves the same way; the people worship at the entrance. At appointed feasts the traffic becomes wonderfully uncompromising: north in, south out; south in, north out. The prince goes in and out with the people. Alongside the lambs, rams, bull, grain, and oil, a daily year-old lamb is offered every morning, with its small measure of flour and oil.

    The prince's inheritancevv. 16–18

    A gift from the prince to one of his sons remains with that son's descendants. A gift to a servant lasts only until the year of freedom, when it returns to the prince. His own inheritance is for his sons, and he must not manufacture an inheritance for them by evicting the people; his property is to be sufficient, which is a pleasingly firm arrangement for a ruler's property.

    The corner courtsvv. 19–24

    The man brings Ezekiel through a side entrance into the priests' chambers and shows him the place for boiling guilt and sin offerings and baking grain offerings. Then come the four corners of the outer court, each containing an enclosed court of identical size, each with masonry and ovens along its walls. These are the temple kitchens, kept for those who minister there and cook the sacrifices brought by the people.

    1. Ezek 46:1“This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘The gate of the inner court that faces east must be kept shut during the six days of work, but on the Sabbath day and on the day of the New Moon it shall be opened.

    2. Ezek 46:2The prince is to enter from the outside through the portico of the gateway and stand by the gatepost, while the priests sacrifice his burnt offerings and peace offerings. He is to bow in worship at the threshold of the gate and then depart, but the gate must not be shut until evening.

    3. Ezek 46:3On the Sabbaths and New Moons the people of the land are also to bow in worship before the LORD at the entrance to that gateway.

    4. Ezek 46:4The burnt offering that the prince presents to the LORD on the Sabbath day shall be six unblemished male lambs and an unblemished ram.

    5. Ezek 46:5The grain offering with the ram shall be one ephah, and the grain offering with the lambs shall be as much as he is able, along with a hin of oil per ephah.

    6. Ezek 46:6On the day of the New Moon he shall offer a young, unblemished bull, six lambs, and a ram without blemish.

    7. Ezek 46:7He is to provide a grain offering of an ephah with the bull, an ephah with the ram, and as much as he is able with the lambs, along with a hin of oil per ephah.

    8. Ezek 46:8When the prince enters, he shall go in through the portico of the gateway, and he shall go out the same way.

    9. Ezek 46:9When the people of the land come before the LORD at the appointed feasts, whoever enters by the north gate to worship must go out by the south gate, and whoever enters by the south gate must go out by the north gate. No one is to return through the gate by which he entered, but each must go out by the opposite gate.

    10. Ezek 46:10When the people enter, the prince shall go in with them, and when they leave, he shall leave.

    11. Ezek 46:11At the festivals and appointed feasts, the grain offering shall be an ephah with a bull, an ephah with a ram, and as much as one is able to give with the lambs, along with a hin of oil per ephah.

    12. Ezek 46:12When the prince makes a freewill offering to the LORD, whether a burnt offering or a peace offering, the gate facing east must be opened for him. He is to offer his burnt offering or peace offering just as he does on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and the gate must be closed after he goes out.

    13. Ezek 46:13And you shall provide an unblemished year-old lamb as a daily burnt offering to the LORD; you are to offer it every morning.

    14. Ezek 46:14You are also to provide with it every morning a grain offering of a sixth of an ephah with a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour—a grain offering to the LORD. This is a permanent statute.

    15. Ezek 46:15Thus they shall provide the lamb, the grain offering, and the oil every morning as a regular burnt offering.’

    16. Ezek 46:16This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘If the prince gives a gift to any of his sons as an inheritance, it will belong to his descendants. It will become their property by inheritance.

    17. Ezek 46:17But if he gives a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, it will belong to that servant until the year of freedom; then it will revert to the prince. His inheritance belongs only to his sons; it shall be theirs.

    18. Ezek 46:18The prince must not take any of the inheritance of the people by evicting them from their property. He is to provide an inheritance for his sons from his own property, so that none of My people will be displaced from his property.’”

    19. Ezek 46:19Then the man brought me through the entrance at the side of the gate into the holy chambers facing north, which belonged to the priests, and he showed me a place there at the far western end

    20. Ezek 46:20and 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, so that they do not bring them into the outer court and transmit holiness to the people.”

    21. Ezek 46:21Then he brought me into the outer court and led me around to its four corners, and I saw a separate court in each of its corners.

    22. Ezek 46:22In the four corners of the outer court there were enclosed courts, each forty cubits long and thirty cubits wide. Each of the four corner areas had the same dimensions.

    23. Ezek 46:23Around the inside of each of the four courts was a row of masonry with ovens built at the base of the walls on all sides.

    24. Ezek 46:24And he said to me, “These are the kitchens where those who minister at the temple will cook the sacrifices offered by the people.”

    Who else the chapter reaches

    Names written in the English are linked in the text above. These are the ones that are not: an entity the Hebrew or Greek names under a spelling the translation does not use, or one reached only by an assertion about a verse of this chapter.

    Named in the Hebrew or Greek somewhere in this chapter, under a form the English renders differently — the registry's Ludim against the translation's Ludites — so there is no word in the sentence to hang the link on.

    Reached by an assertion Atlas extracted from a verse of this chapter rather than by a name written in it — a pronoun, a title, or a participant the sentence carries without naming. This layer is model-read and measured at 88.6–90.3% precision, and it is kept separate from the names above for that reason.
