Ezekiel 46

Ezekiel 46:1

Thus saith the Lord God; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

The east gate of the third wall, which is of the Court of the Priests, wherein the temple was built, shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath, and on the first day of the month, which is the day of the new moon, it shall be opened.

Ezekiel 46:2

And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priest shall prepare his burnt-offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate.

And the prince only shall enter by the way of that gate; and, when he is to enter, shall stand at the post of that gate, until the priest shall have prepared his burnt offering and peace offering; and then, when they have made this safe way for him, he shall come in, having first bowed down and worshipped at the threshold of the gate.

Ezekiel 46:3

Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the Lord in the sabbaths and in the new moons.

Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the Lord; but they shall not presume to enter in by it; only they shall bow and worship aloof at that door, on the sabbaths and new moons.

Ezekiel 46:10

And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth.

And the prince shall observe the same times of my service with my people; both for his coming in, and for his going forth.

Ezekiel 46:20

That they bear them not out into the outer court, to sanctify the people.

There they shall boil the trespass offering, and bake the meat offering; that they bear them not out into the outer court, where the people are allowed to assemble, as if the common sort of people should share with them in their sanctification, since this privilege of these holy services rests in their own persons.
