Regulations for the Inner Court

46 “This is what the Lord God says: ‘The inner, east-facing courtyard is to remain shut during the six working days of the week,[a] but on the Sabbath day it is to be opened, as well as on the day of the New Moon. The Regent Prince is to enter through the portico of the gate from outside and is to stand at the doorframe of the gate where the priests are to present the Regent Prince’s[b] burnt offerings and peace[c] offerings. Then the Regent Prince[d] is to worship at the threshold of the gate and go out. The gate is not to be closed until evening. The people who live[e] in the land are to worship at the doorway of the gate on the Sabbaths and New Moons in the Lord’s presence.’”
