1 Thus saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 The gate H8179 of the inner H6442 court H2691 that looketh H6437 toward the east H6921 shall be shut H5462 the six H8337 working H4639 days; H3117 but on the sabbath H7676 H3117 it shall be opened, H6605 and in the day H3117 of the new moon H2320 it shall be opened. H6605
And it shall come to pass, that from H1767 one new moon H2320 to another, H2320 and from H1767 one sabbath H7676 to another, H7676 shall all flesh H1320 come H935 to worship H7812 before H6440 me, saith H559 the LORD. H3068
Then he brought me back H7725 the way H1870 of the gate H8179 of the outward H2435 sanctuary H4720 which looketh H6437 toward the east; H6921 and it was shut. H5462 Then said H559 the LORD H3068 unto me; This gate H8179 shall be shut, H5462 it shall not be opened, H6605 and no man H376 shall enter H935 in by it; because the LORD, H3068 the God H430 of Israel, H3478 hath entered H935 in by it, therefore it shall be shut. H5462
In the sweat H2188 of thy face H639 shalt thou eat H398 bread, H3899 till H5704 thou return H7725 unto the ground; H127 for out of it wast thou taken: H3947 for dust H6083 thou H859 art, and unto dust H6083 shalt thou return. H7725
And he brought H935 me into the inner H6442 court H2691 of the LORD'S H3068 house, H1004 and, behold, at the door H6607 of the temple H1964 of the LORD, H3068 between the porch H197 and the altar, H4196 were about five H2568 and twenty H6242 men, H376 with their backs H268 toward the temple H1964 of the LORD, H3068 and their faces H6440 toward the east; H6924 and they worshipped H7812 the sun H8121 toward the east. H6924
And it shall be the prince's part H5387 to give burnt offerings, H5930 and meat offerings, H4503 and drink offerings, H5262 in the feasts, H2282 and in the new moons, H2320 and in the sabbaths, H7676 in all solemnities H4150 of the house H1004 of Israel: H3478 he shall prepare H6213 the sin offering, H2403 and the meat offering, H4503 and the burnt offering, H5930 and the peace offerings, H8002 to make reconciliation H3722 for the house H1004 of Israel. H3478 Thus saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 In the first H7223 month, in the first H259 day of the month, H2320 thou shalt take H3947 a young H1121 H1241 bullock H6499 without blemish, H8549 and cleanse H2398 the sanctuary: H4720 And the priest H3548 shall take H3947 of the blood H1818 of the sin offering, H2403 and put H5414 it upon the posts H4201 of the house, H1004 and upon the four H702 corners H6438 of the settle H5835 of the altar, H4196 and upon the posts H4201 of the gate H8179 of the inner H6442 court. H2691
And in the day H3117 of the new moon H2320 it shall be a young H1121 H1241 bullock H6499 without blemish, H8549 and six H8337 lambs, H3532 and a ram: H352 they shall be without blemish. H8549
And G1161 the ruler of the synagogue G752 answered G611 with indignation, G23 because G3754 that Jesus G2424 had healed G2323 on the sabbath G4521 day, and said G3004 unto the people, G3793 There are G1526 six G1803 days G2250 in G1722 which G3739 men ought G1163 to work: G2038 in G1722 them G5025 therefore G3767 come G2064 and be healed, G2323 and G2532 not G3361 on the sabbath G4521 day.

We may observe, in these verses,
Eze 46:16-18
