Ezekiel 44:1-3

Living Bible

44 Then the Lord brought me back to the outer wall’s eastern passageway, but it was closed. ² And he said to me:

“This gate shall remain closed; it shall never be opened. No man shall pass through it; for the Lord, the God of Israel, entered here, and so it shall remain shut. ³ Only the prince—because he is the prince—may sit inside the passageway to feast there before the Lord. But he shall go and come only through the entry hall of the passage.”
