² The prince is to enter from the outside through the portico^(A) of the gateway and stand by the gatepost. The priests are to sacrifice his burnt offering^(B) and his fellowship offerings. He is to bow down in worship at the threshold of the gateway and then go out, but the gate will not be shut until evening.^(C)

³¹ Then Hezekiah said, “You have now dedicated yourselves to the Lord. Come and bring sacrifices^(A) and thank offerings to the temple of the Lord.” So the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and all whose hearts were willing^(B) brought burnt offerings.

³ The prince himself is the only one who may sit inside the gateway to eat in the presence^(A) of the Lord. He is to enter by way of the portico of the gateway and go out the same way.^(B)”

¹⁷ It will be the duty of the prince to provide the burnt offerings, grain offerings and drink offerings at the festivals, the New Moons^(A) and the Sabbaths^(B)—at all the appointed festivals of Israel. He will provide the sin offerings,^[a] grain offerings, burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to make atonement for the Israelites.^(C)
