15 Thus shall they prepare the 2Ch.35.13. lamb, and the meat-offering, and 9 Le.2.4-7. the oil, every morning for a con-r tinual burnt-offering.

16 T Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons': it shall be their possession by inheritance.

17 But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year m of liberty; after it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons' for them,

18 Moreover the prince shall not n take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered o every man from his possession.

19 T 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. 20 Then said he unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boilp the trespass-offering and the sin-offering, where they shall bake q the meat-offering; that they bear them not out into the utter court, to sanctify r the people.

21 Then he brought me forth into the utter court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, 4 in every corner of the court there was a court.

22 In the four corners of the court there were courts 5 joined of forty cubits long, and thirty broad: these four 6 corners were of one measure. 23 And there was a row of building round about in them, 'round about them four, and it was made with boiling-places under the rows round about.

24 Then said he unto me, These s are the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people. CHAPTER XLVII.

5 Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters 2 to swim in, a river d that could not be passed over.

6 T And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.

7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the 3 bank of the river were very many trees e on the one side and on the other.

8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the 324 desert, and go into the sea; which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.

5 And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's meat, and of the wine 1 which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king.

6 Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:

7 Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; c and to Hananiah, of Sha-6 drach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abed-nego. 8 T But Daniel purposed in his
